An Ache of the Head
Having a really bad headache. Even the weight of my eyelashes add to the pounding going on in my head.
But then, I do think that it’s a whole lot better than walking around after having my skull cracked open with an axe.
Ouch!
So that’s one good thought happening today. In context, of course.
(I think I brought in my punch line way early in this post.)
I didn’t have the terrible ache in me heads this morning. It kind of built up over the day, for no apparent reason that I can isolate. I don’t think I even noticed it until I slowed down and had to mull over something. But mulling was impeded by the discovery of the throb throb THROB THROBBBbbbb.
Of course I got irritated at first. I mean, there’s an unwanted situation going on in my control room, forcing me to allocate a significant portion of my scarce resources to resolving that. But I didn’t have the time to heed what Control was telling me. You know, stuff like, lie down, take some painkillers, massage temples, so many remedies on the spot. All shot down, on the spot.
Pound Pound POUND!
So here I am now, sipping a cuppa coffee, squinting through my lashes at this horrendously bright screen, trying to get a word in edgewise through the thrumming. My gawd, why are headaches so LOUD?
This is a physical headache. Then there are those headaches that are situational. And of the two, the latter fares worse. Oh so much worse.
It’s pouring and am stuck here. Headache.
Why is my ex talking to my potential? Headache.
I have another case to work on? Headache.
I have so much to do, I can’t afford to have a headache now. Headache.
But then the good thing that can be said about a situational headache is that they don’t physically affect you. They just have the knack of sapping away any strength or will or satisfaction you may have at that point in time. Knowing that and understanding that is vital.
Coz a headache inducing situation is, how can I say… all in the head!

I feel you. The headache that has been making me climb up the walls since yesterday is of the situational kind. And coupled with a tummy ache (remind me never to take pity on leftover hedhikaa!), it’s one hellish morning. Hopefully things will improve by midday. For both of us.
Leftover hedhikaa is so hard to resist though. They take on an extra layer of greasiness that is just scrumptious. I totally get you.
Thanks. For you too, the day shall improve!
Maybe a bit of quality time with “specific” people can help you get rid of it, eh?
Yes, quality time with ‘specific’ people shall be the spoonful of sugar.
