Owwwww, my head hurts

my head hurts today. it i think, hope it is just my sinuses acting up, but i think it might be stress induced ....

you see, i'm stressed, not something i am unaccustomed to mind you, but not something i like in the least. there's all this talk about stress - good stress - eustress ... bollocks i say. all stress is inherently bad in some way. it makes you feel bad, tired, achey, cranky ... you get upset easily and that's just not good.

of course i could just be hungry ....

Where have I been?

Mary: Well that's a very good question Mr. Indiscriminant reader, let me tell you.
Mr. Indiscriminant Reader (further to be called MIR): Ooohhh, goody, I can't wait!
Mary: I've been to Europe and Florida. The topish of a mountain and around the block. Hither and tither to more music shows than I can count. Exploring by bike and boat.
MIR: ~practically dead air and oozing boredom
Mary: Let's see, then I went to ...
MIR: ~possibly snoozing, possibly looking at the horizon, possibly completely ignoring M
~break~
MIR: Why aren't we just so high on our horse, international travel, music, mountains, bikes ..
Mary: Hey, you asked!
MIR: Humph, not like I really cared .....


Why does it sometimes feel like that. People ask you a question, you expect that they want an answer, but really they are filling dead air. No response required. You could blather on about the economy of Burundi with just as much interest as if you actually answered their question.

Lately I've been coming into contact with this very attitude .... wonder what's been dropped in the water out here?
