I've been pretty much absent around here, sorry all! I've not been much better in real life, unfortunately. My migraine has been giving me trouble - six days off work in the last three weeks - so I am going to see my doctor on Wednesday. I can live with the intractableness most of the time, but when it flares like this ... well, it knocks me out. I'm keeping my migraine diary online now (yay Google doc and spreadsheets), tracking the humidity and pressure each day along with my pain med requirements, pain levels, stress levels, and where my head hurts, to see if there is any pattern. We shall see.
I somehow lost Friday and Saturday entirely, and now I have to face going to work tomorrow.
What else? Al is out of the hospice, and pleased to be home again. No surprise there. It's been nice having him around the house again.
I'm annoyed at Sparky for no logical reason, but annoyed nonetheless (we were supposed to catch up and spend time yesterday, and I was too unwell to drive anywhere, and he was too tired to come here. So we didn't. Meantime, his other g/f got to see him twice. Not his fault or hers - I'm just irrationally annoyed about it. Luckily Ben understands my weird moods and petted me better, sorta). And I'm sad for Firecracker, who's down south for her sister's 21st, only to have her uncle die while she's down there. So she'll be staying longer for the funeral.
