My Painful Brain

Wow how people notice when I am not fanatically posting to my web site! Several emails and comments around the ‘net have been wondering what’s up. I know, I usually give warning when I won’t be posting much. Actually, I just didn’t notice that I hadn’t been. I’ve been a little foggy in the had and have what I call a Nagging Migraine. Twelvish hours of “I’m going to cut my head off to feel better” followed by twelvish hours of “thank heavens that is over” … rinse and repeat. By the time my eyes can tolerate sitting at the computer, it’s hitting me up side the head again. It’s like being on the worst roller coaster ride you can imagine. I can’t figure out what’s triggering it, so I am chalking it up to stress, which I am feeling a good deal of currently (but don’t want to talk about at the moment).

I am starting to wonder if maybe I need to go get my eyes checked again though. I haven’t noticed that my glasses are bothering me, but for people who get migraines, a slightly faulty eyeglass prescription can be a huge trigger. Well, that’s just going to have to wait. I am not going to spend the money I have been saving for software on new glasses right now. Migraines be damned. By the end of the month, I think our screwed up budget will be settled again, and then I can worry about whether or not I need new glasses. Yes, perhaps my priorities aren’t quite in the right order, but I am sick to death of saving money for something I really want and having to spend that money on something else that pops up. Besides, it might not be the glasses anyway, and then I’d be extremely peeved about spending money on an eye exam only to be told my prescription hadn’t changed enough to worry about.

I’m feeling much better today, in fact better than I did the last time I thought the migraine was over. Maybe it actually is over this time. I sure hope so. I have things to do … like knit, read, play with kittens, and babble on my blog. Oh, and housework. I sure do need to catch up on the housework. :D
