Day 3

So I'm into Day 3 of a migraine but I'm moving through it as best I can. For the first time in months, yesterday I finally broke down and took a prescription pill I have for the migraines. This morning I took two. It waxes and wanes but doesn't go away. Meanwhile, I went to my sewing class last night and drove home in the pouring rain, and have been sorting through garage/spare room crap all day today. Even with an awful headache, I get antsy when I try to lie down, maybe because the medicine has caffeine in it. Or maybe it's because I can't stop thinking about everything I'm trying to get done by Saturday. I was going to try to cram the mattresses and bunkie boards (yeah, that's really what they're called) into or onto my Tahoe, but I called today and asked that they be delivered before Saturday. No problem, and one less thing for me to worry about.

I'm not sure whether this is true, but I've heard that falling barometric pressure can cause or intensify migraines. It's been raining for the last few days and forecast to continue throughout the week. Fortunately, better weather is (allegedly) ahead from Sunday on, so I'll be able to enjoy some outdoor time with my son and granddaughters. I'm trying to find a good balance of rest time and productive time; I really want to be able to have fun with my family next week, without having to fight migraines.

This isn't whining or complaining, just all I can think about at the moment because it's really interfering with my life. Fortunately I don't have much scoring scheduled this week, only Friday morning. Tomorrow I will go to Weight Watchers for my second weigh-in (after my first week on the program) and I'm hoping to see results on the scale. I don't think that will get rid of my headache, but it might make me feel a little more empowered to get my stuff done.
