Migraine

Hey gang -

Maybe it's not a sleepy Saturday for you, but I'm yawning! Third day in a row where I suddenly woke up feeling very nervous after about 6 1/2 hours of sleep - I need 8 - 8 1/2 generally. I lay and did all my relaxation exercises and still couldn't get back to sleep. (A cd with someone else's voice would help at this point.) Or I'd drift off and Danny would suddenly give a snore - he's only snoring lightly and I can sleep through it if I'm sleeping well, but not if I'm sleeping lightly.

Anyway, this is very annoying; I'm walking around exhausted. Don't know what I'm so nervous about - sure, I've got stresses, but they haven't changed all of a sudden! I'll have to try for nap later.

Hope you're having good mornings, all. We've got Adam's party tonight so I need my energy!

I gave a friend a wake-up call at 6:30 A.M. Her alarm clock isn't working, and she needed to get up early. My body serves as my alarm clock. I can't sleep past 6 A.M. unless I'm terribly exhausted and extremely sleep-deprived.

Then breakfast, and now, obviously, I'm on the forum.

Later, I plan to go to my Alzheimer's Caregiver support group. Other projects for today include dishwashing, grocery shopping, and cooking.

Take care, everyone.

Here it is, Saturday morning, and I got up at 7:30 per my good sleep hygiene routine. A week ago I would've said it's working, but this week I had trouble going to sleep and staying asleep.

On the agenda today - dh and Nikoli are getting haircuts. I need to go to the bank; the paycheck dh's boss didn't sign still hasn't been deposited, but I did pay the bills with money left over. Dh has been doing some designing on the side and another check is supposed to come in the mail today.

I need to go to the store - two snow days and we've been eaten out of house and home! We're eating out tonight at our favorite chinese place.

That's about the best it gets on an icy Saturday!

Good Morning,
Well I just sent DD off to crew. She took a sip of my coffee, wouldn't drink a full cup of her own and off she went. I get to clean house today. I've balanced my checkbook.

Maybe I'll get out the sewing machine and mend. Though the shock might make the kids faint. There is an old Cal sweatshirt I got when I started dating the kids' dad in 1984, my DS wears it now. Loves pitching in it. It's very soft. Needs some repair work on the sleaves. Hard to believe I know. He would love to have it back in commision.

Another cup of coffee while I make a list at my functional desk. Have a great day everyone.

mornin yall!

Phew been a few days since I have been on! Been a CRAZY week! Kids had monday off, had to take son to Dr, he has archilles tendonitis. so he had to drop basketball to let it rest. my 5th grader had a program Tuesday and colonial fair TH. and Fri. that I went to, both 7th and 10th graders had a combined band and Choir concert that we went to, and had bunch of food shopping etc to do!

And to top it all off its THAT time and been fighting a 3 day migraine! The pain has been mild to moderate at worst though thankfully! Bit of dizzys,photophobia and disorientation at times but not bad. Think my mix of meds is finally about right!

Today My oldest, Justin, is accompanying a girl in his choir at the solo ensemble. (he plays piano for the choir and sings too) She is going to be here around 10 for them to practice, then I need to go take them to their audition. If they do well enough they will go on to state, but Justin doesnt think she is prepared enough for that.
Other than that its a pretty lazy day.. catch up on laundry and housework and prep cooking for the next week.

Have a great day yall!

Yep so the beast did show up yesterday. No fear droolie, it was the the big red mean dragon kind, not the nice droolie or shrek type.

It wasn't all that bad. It sayed at about a 3 all day - but still I'd rather not had one at all! It's gone now.

Snowed all day. Snowing now!

Going to our friends house tonight for their bithdays. They are 2 days apart, different years though. That will be fun.

So we have the youtube stuff up, I don't know if the Fallout Chronicles thing is up yet, (the movie DH is in), because youtube is saying it's too long so I think we have to fix it still. But, if you want to check out our channel, please feel free, and also please subsribe!! You can see it here!

That's about it for now!

Hope you all are enjoying your day!!!

It's definitely a lazy day here. It's almost 10 o'clock and I'm still in my jammies. I will probably get up here shortly but for now, I'm surfing the internet and petting Bob.


I have absolutely nothing planned like everyone else. Maybe I'll STAY in the jammies!

Bob has got the right idea. All three of my cats are sleep on my bed. I'm still in my jammies cleaning and sorting, sorting and cleaning. No wonder it takes me all day to clean my little house. Oh well I've also talked to a niece and a good friend. I've getting there, slowly. It's a good day to take things on at a more measured pace.

We did a little light housecleaning, and now I'm doing the forum thing for a bit. Then I need to take some books back to the library. Other than that, I'm going to veg and read and enjoy the nice weather a bit. Tomorrow we're going to Hardin to see a great aunt that's in the hospital, so I'm not sure when I'll get to the computer.

Hoopsky, could you please resize your cat photo? Thanks.

Hi all! I'm checking in a little late today.

My day didn't start till 10. I've been having a lot of trouble on weekends getting up before 10, despite setting my alarm and asking DBF to help me wake up. My head seemed to be ok, though, so I'm not stressing about it.

DBF made some delicious gluten-free pancakes with dark chocolate chips. One of my favorite breakfasts ever! Then I spent the morning finishing my book, All In My Head by Paula Kamen. I'll be posting about it in the Must Reads folder shortly.

This weekend I'm trying to take it easy. We have some errands to run but I plan to enjoy myself as much as possible. I woke up to beautiful sunny skies today and it's warm enough to crack the window open. I plan to at least go for a walk this afternoon to enjoy the weather - after lunch anyway.

Megs, I have a relaxation CD that I really like, with my physical therapist's voice guiding the relaxation. Her name is Carolyn McManus and she has quite a number of CDs out. If you search for her name on amazon.com you'll see her variety. The one I have is Relaxation Body Scan & Guided Imagery for Well-Being. I may also buy her sleep CD.

Nut, hope that you have the productive day you have planned.

Deb, enjoy your dinner tonight! Sounds yummy.

Cindy, sometimes those old threadbare clothes are the best. And taking a slow day sounds good! I'll probably do the same.

Tawsha, glad to see you back! I have tendinitis in my right wrist - it's been ok the past year or so but I can certainly empathize with the pain of tendinitis. Sorry that you've been fighting the beast, but it's good that the pain isn't too bad. How is your weather?

Eileen, enjoy the birthday party tonight. Sounds like fun!

Hoopsky, a lazy Saturday sounds good! Looks like Bob has the right idea. (My cat is currently going crazy, rolling around in the sun patch on the floor and attacking everything within reach.)

Droolie, enjoy your nice weather.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday!

I am migraining now with 7 noisy boys here at a sleep-over and feeling very sorry for myself! Just posted in the vents & gripes folder. All welcome at the pity party. Just bring chocolate!
