headache

A long time source of my grumpiness is my brain. It hurts. Quite often. Like right now. Been that way all day today. Since lunch. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that burrito. Who knows.

Something that makes both me and Belinda grumpy are people who think they have migraines. Since the 90s, it seems that it's "cool" to have migraines, and people out there in the world seem to think that every time their head hurts, they must have a migraine. According to WebMD migraine headaches are

"...painful, sometimes debilitating headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, noise, and smell."

They also say this,

"Migraines run in families, and a genetic link has been identified."

Now I'm not suggesting that you people that I speak of are faking it. I truly believe that you have a headache. I'm sure it really hurts, too. I will grant you that you suffer from frequent headaches, even. But you don't have a migraine... Come on, get fucking real.

I do not have a migraine. I have a headache. My mother used to say, "Oh Grumpy, you are a headache."
