Back to work…sort of.

I haven’t gotten much writing done in the past week because I’ve been dogged with persistent headaches and whatnot.  Normally, I pop a Tylenol and move on with it, but now I really want to treat the cause and not the symptom, you know?

A lot of the time I know my headaches are caused by dehydration.  I can go all day on a couple of cups of tea, and that’ll be it.  Obviously, fixing those headaches is a matter of upping water consumption.

Now, some of my headaches are hormonal.  That’s a given.  Can’t do much about those except wait for stuff to normalize.

Other headaches are caused by my fairly low blood pressure.  (It’s real fun to have hospital staff take your blood pressure multiple times because they’re sure something’s wrong with the machine…or you.)  Those are harder to treat.  The solution is usually greasy food and a sugar-laced soda, but who can eat that crap all the time?

So, yeah.  Headaches sort of mess up my plans, but I feel ok-ish today so I’m going to crank today in case I wake up tomorrow feeling like FrankenChick.
