It's not something new, but this weekend was a perfect example of how my pain threshold is directionally proportional to how badly I want to do something.
 
Somehow over the weekend I managed sunburn my face and get another blister on my right foot (different place).  I wanted to go places and do things that apparently caused these minor inconveniences.  Yet yesterday I allowed a mere headache (okay, migraine) to keep me from fully enjoying my day.
 
I say that knowing full well there have been days that despite a migraine I have not only put in a full day at work, but also had a class at the dojo and done a lot around the house.
 
But aren't we all like that?  I mean, don't we all gage what we want to do against what it will cost us physically?  or is it just me?! lol

    4 sunburn try Noxeeema Medicated cream. It wipes out the burning feelings. Do you get  mygrains often!? Is this stress related?
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    No pain, no gain!?
    Thinking like that will get you SPANKED!
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Trivia .....4 you:.... who could spank you and walk away alive!?
  • Hegemone said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Well yeah, I'd say that you've got a pretty good idea there, we let it effect us as much as we want to in order to either NOT do something (i.e. easy excuse when you're hurt, sick, etc.) or to DO something because we'll just die if we miss it (absolute stubbornness manifesting itself and making us forget, block, etc. whatever is wrong so we can function).  I wonder though, if the latter, might not stem from when we were kids and we'd try to play sick and stay home from school when all along we felt fantastic ... and as soon as we wanted to play we got told 'Nope, if you're too sick to go to school you're too sick to play.'  Maybe now we just go 'Crap, that won't work, plan B .... I'm NOT sick ... hack hack hack .... *grabs forehead and then rubs temples in agony*'.  If you have nothing to gain from letting it show you're sick or not feeling well, and you can't foresee missing out on something, well, why not let yourself feel crappy for a while to make up for all those other times you ignore it, lol, since you have the time.  No really I do hope you're feeling better.  :-)

    mixed - the burn is fading, I get the headaches a few times a year and the answer to your trivia is - some would walk away live, but definately with a bad limp
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    U.I.- You are very,very,very FUNNY!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Hege - I think you said more eloquently what I had running around my brain.  I have a nasty habit of doing fun things when I'm 1/2 dead and yet staying home for the equivilant of a hang nail if it's something I'm not interested in doing.  I think perhaps at some level it evens out.
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Nice replies...and it was lack of wa wa that caused yer "MYGRAIN", but you can always stand on your head to make it go away as well.
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    MORE trivia:.. Why are they called "MIGRAINS"
    Shoudn't they be called " YOURGRAINS"?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    mixed - or give myself an aneurism! 
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    aneurism!?
    Who in the heck is this Miss Ann Urism?
  • Lucytorial said on Sep 08, 2009....
    I understand that one totally. My gain pain happened on the weekend and now I am paying for it with a lovely flu (again) and headache myself, yet like you I've had a small or minor ailment put me out for days and I've not done anything.  Why I decided to go for it on the weekend I'll never know.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Lu - words like glutton for punishment come to mind ;)  Hope you're feeling better soon.
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    lucytorial has the FLU!?
    I hope she gets all better real fast! Is this the SWINE FLU?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    mixed - lol I'm sure she'd tell us if it was
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    S.FLU is sweeping the world, but google it and discover it is a man made money scam. Do not get that stinkin shot! (mercury in it )
  • Lucytorial said on Sep 08, 2009....
    mixed its not swine flu, I was clearning rainforest my best guess is its bacterial, swine flu? bahh what a load of rubbish.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Lu - I'm sure it's not uncommon to run across bacteria when cleaning rainforest.  Make sure you get enough water and rest
  • Lucytorial said on Sep 08, 2009....
    yes, I guess the big thing is the antibiotics as the rainforest here can harbour staph and all those nasty bacteria.  Still its very interesting to see the colour of my nasal discharge rightnow... Te he hehe (I'm gross I know)
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    lucy! Do as U.I. suggests! You are to neat 2 be sick!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Lu - gross! lol 
     
    mixed - yes, uni is "always" right ;)
  • mixednuts said on Sep 08, 2009....
    This I knew!
  • Fallyn said on Sep 08, 2009....
    I totally totally do that. always.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2009....
    Fallyn - I guess all of us find reasons to overlook pain when we want something badly enough
  • superbozo said on Sep 09, 2009....
    Hell I don't even have to be ill to do something like that. Sometimes sitting at home with a good book or dvd is the most important thing on earth.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 09, 2009....
    super - I love to just veg out to a good CD and don't bother me if I'm reading!
