Today i have a very painful headache. Whenever i've heard people describe migraines, it often sounds like the pain and symptoms that i have but my doctor says, based on the location of my pain and the fact that my neck and shoulders get all tense, that it is a tension headache.
I am not surprised that i am tense, uptight. I've had quite the morning.
Firstly, i had my walk this morning and that was as enjoyable as it usually is...i feel i'm on my way to losing the extra weight i've gained being home, looking after mother...but when i got home from my walk, i thought i'd turn on the Big Brother feeds, which i bought and paid for, only to have problems getting the feed to work. An hour later and much frustration, a friend suggested i do a system restore. A nifty tool that has come in handy for me before...so i set it back to a day earlier when i'd created a save point...and bingo, boingo...it was reset...only i forgot the changes i'd made would be lost. So the thirty or so icons that i'd painstakingly changed to lovely little flowers to match my wallpaper...all gone. Grrrr.. so now i'll have to work on that today as it drives me a bit crazy, i like my desktop to be pretty (call me anal)...so i have all that to work on...when mother asked for her breakfast.
Okay, i'm guilty as charged...i got caught up in my computer stuff and the time slipped away from me..i got right on it. She wanted a toasted english muffin and a hot cup of tea. I can do that, sure no problem....only i go into the kitchen to a sink full of dirty dishes soaking in less than clean soapy water....(my nephew is notorious for leaving such messes for me, grrrr) and since i can't stand to have dishes soaking..i drained the water and filled it up with clean, soapy water and washed the dishes...then put the muffin in the toaster so it would toast as i was doing dishes...and put the kettle on to boil.
After i got the dishes done, i noticed the butter dish was ....EMPTY...yet another thing my nephew does...puts it back in the cupboard empty, needing to be washed and another pound put in. Grrr...yes well we do have margerine too (my sister and i prefer it to butter) but mother doesn't care for it....so after i washed the dish, i went to break the news to my mother...surprisingly she was fine, said use margerine just not too much. Sure, i can do that...by the time i got back to the kitchen, the muffin had popped and the kettle had boiled. Mother requested the muffin be well toasted..so i pushed it back down and thought to myself...that i won't let it go the whole time...only i got busy making the tea...and then the muffin popped again...too dark if you ask me, so i began to butter it (well, margerine it) and then i remember the tea bag was in the water...ooops, mother doesn't like her tea very strong...so i quickly grabbed that out and finished the muffin, adding some unsweetened jam (not mothers fav, it's mine but it's all we have right now) to her very dark muffin. Sigh. I was sure she would complain but she didn't, thank goodness...and happily ate it..thankfully she likes it dark..and when i say dark i mean almost burnt, dark. Yuck!
While mother was eating i decided to try out the Big Brother feed... but did it work...nooooo....i started to think i might cancel this if it continues... but then the one time i tried it, i got a message suggesting i try to adjust the setting which during connectivity, allowed more time...so i changed the number and tried again...nope, didnt work but it suggested i try again to adjust the setting..so i did...still no...then i tried it one more time...and lo and behold it connected, yay! By this time my shoulders and neck were/are so tense..i really don't handle stuff like this very well. Soooo, i get the feed going...only to connect and see that all of the houseguests are still sleeping...Sigh. I'll try again later but at least i'll know how to get it working...i hope.
That's been my day so far. Wanted to go for groceries today but i have a bad headache...did i mention that?

You know you might as well go back to bed when......
Yeah, what a day for you. But who knows? Maybe the grocery store holds good things in store for you. Then again a safe might drop on your head on the way.
I get migraines. They start out with a blip in my eye. Just a point that I can't see out of. The blip then turns into something that looks very much like a multicolored sparkly rotating easter egg that goes round and round and gets bigger and bigger till it covers my whole eye. It eventually rotates out and then I want to throw up. Then for the next two days anytime I move my head I feel like my brain is going to explode.
I hate headaches.
I really think i should have gone back to bed that day.
I hate headaches too!
