Ouch, my freakin head...

So I've been suffering with periodic migraines for several years now. They used to be very infrequent - like once a year. Last year, I think, they started coming about once a month. Over the last couple of months they've been coming once a week. Today marks 2 days in a row. Usually these migraines are worse right before and during my period, so I'm thinking my hormones have a big influence on triggering them. I've actually thought this for a while, but, as per usual, did nothing about it.

This morning I finally made an appointment with Planned Parenthood so I can get my girlie bits checked out and get BC pills. I haven't had this kind of appointment in probably 5 years. I'm thinking it's time. I usually go 3 - 4 years in between appointments anyway. LOL. I'm thinking the BC pills will help with my headaches. I always get the low estrogen onces because they help get rid of my cramps, too. Once my insurance kicks in (in about 4 more months), I'll make an appointment with a regular doctor and get my head checked out. It's not normal that my eyeballs want to jump out of their sockets once a week.

I'm so over these damn headaches. I probably need Imitrex. I'm also going to see if I can get a referral to an ENT and find out if I really do have allergies because some of my migraines stem from sinus headaches. I don't want to be a pill popper now, though. I hate taking pills and always forget (hence the reason I'm never on BC pills LOL)

Or maybe it's just a tumor.

Ugh...shoot me now

I'm currently in the middle of the second...or is it the third?...migraine of this week. I was woken up when Jenn was brushing her teeth (for the 3rd time this week) and immediately got a migraine. When the room is too bright, or when I'm shocked awake, I tend to get migraines because of the flood of light. It sucks.

Anyway, because of that I'm going to make this quick so I can get off the computer and just lay down and "watch" tv (really, I'll just listen to it while I have a cool washcloth over my eyes and forehead).

I had my interview with Bath & Body Works yesterday. It's not for a salesperson position. It's a once-a-week to once-a-month position doing display change-overs. It would be Sunday nights, over night, on an as-needed basis. It's something to start with, but we'll see how it goes. I'm supposed to hear by the end of the week, if not Monday or Tuesday (the lady interviewing us is a bit under the weather). It's not a whole lot of money, but it'll be a few bucks in my pocket.

The interview set up was one I've never been in before. It was a group interview with 2 other girls. It was awkward and felt like a competition. The other two girls are in school, still, and need money to pay the bills. They probably won't take it since it's not that much money, but we'll see. But the group interview was awkward. I didn't like it at all. lol.

Anyway...I'm gonna go lay down now...
