Who needs consistent blood flow to the brain?

I’ve had some terrible headaches over the past couple of weeks.  At first, I accused my Mac computer screen of producing too much glare.  Then I thought maybe I wasn’t taking enough breaks (I’m not good at breaks).  Then I decided I might have a brain tumor.  Well, turns out the headband I wear to keep my hair out of my face when I’m working has been cutting off blood flow to my brain.  Yep.  Goodbye, headband; hello, happy head.  I’d like to point out that I successfully completed the first three chapters of my dissertation while enduring reduced supplies of blood to my thinker.  This has to be some sort of accomplishment of which I should be proud.

Try a nice-fitting ball cap instead.

Accessories are everything.

I, too, have found that headbands cause headaches, as does a sudden deprivation of java! The first is easy to discard…not so of the latter! Cool blog, Lisa!!!!!

So good to see you, Marti!! Luckily, I never developed the java habit. I’m a new devotee of the loosely gathered hair in a clippie. :) How is your work going? How are the girls?
