SO I had this tension headache on and off for the last few days. It just wouldn't go away completely. Went to a doctor yesterday. She checked my eyes out and stuff, then checked my shoulders and arms....and agreed quite readily that it was a tension headache and that I need to relax. Told me to take today off work as well and make sure that the headache really has a chance to go away...and to seriously consider visiting a massage therapist.

(Yes, I know, if you're one of the couple of people that I said "I don't feel like going back to work tomorrow" or other such nonsense to...I had a Stoopid moment and forgot about that until I looked at the note that I was given to take into work.)

Anyone else get tension headaches? I hate these thigngs. I used to get them so often that I got really good at consciously relaxing the muscles in my shoulders within a few seconds. Then I didn't get them for a long time, and I lost the practice. I can't do it anymore

I was surprised to be told that I should be consistant about caffeine intake. Don't not have any for days and then suddenly drink 5 cups of coffee, and vice versa. Though...for me personally, I have done the yoyo caffiene thing...and I have never noticed a connection to headaches. (I know a LOT of people do. So I try to pay attention myself, but I honestly don't feel any different either way.)

And on a completely unrelated note...I found somethign that's 6 squillion times better than ramen noodles (OK, so most things are at least 3 squliion times better than ramen, but I digress...) So I was traversing the grocery store the other day when I hapened to notice some litle packages of noodle sop, kinda similar to ramen...but they were different. A company called thai kitchen (I think) makes these rice noode soups that you make pretty much in the same way as ramen. I decided to try. Bought one package. I just now ate the stuff. So here's my opinion...YUMMY! I tried the Thai ginger flavor. I also compared the labels. No saturated fat (as opposed to 4 grams on the ramen.) And somethign like 250 milligrams less sodium. (Sodium is not a big concern for me though..I've actualy been advised in the past to consume more sodium. And I don't add salt to ANYTHING unless it's called for in a recepie)

So anyway...it comes with 2 flavor packets...a powdered seasoning, much like ramen...and an oil flavoring. You mix them in some water, plop the noodes in along with it. Zap the entire business for 3 minutes and voila! And it doesn't have the ridiculously salty taste that ramen does either.

The one drawback...it costs almost a dollar for a single package, and I didn't compare the sze, but I estimate to be only half to 2/3 the size of a ramen package. Buuuut....I'm still going to say far superior stuff. WAY better tasting, less of the bad stuff.

Oh yeah...anyone seen my ipod charger?
