Stubborn Brain

I have a migraine brewing, apparently … oh, I hate it so much when my head hurts.  Any other kind of pain is no big deal.  I don’t process “pain” the same way other people do, and in most cases I can just ignore it quite effectively.

But migraines are entirely different.  I can’t ignore pain that is in my brain where no pain should be able to be felt.  I even lecture myself that since there are no nerve endings in the brain, there is no way to feel anything at all, and especially not pain.

My brain does not listen, and the pain goes on.

So instead of arguing with my stubborn brain today, I’m trying to simply distract myself with more pleasant thoughts … namely, cuddling with my technomancer sweetie and maybe listening to him talk about his latest programming project.
