Migraine Hell

April 2nd, 2009 at 05:20 am

A full day of pain. Joy o joy. But I pushed through and got as much done at work as possible before leaving for a 4 day weekend. We worked through lunch in a meeting...so I arranged to have sandwiches brought in for everyone. Unfortunately, my assistant forgot to get a receipt..so I charged everyone a flat $5 and ended up paying over $9 myself (and I had the smallest sandwich). sigh. This on the heels of picking up $10 in bagels, banana's and coffee creamer for everyone to snack on during the first meeting of the day.

So, $19 spent when I am trying to stick to a budget. You know my head hurts when I complain about such frivulous stuff.

On the way home, I stopped and bought groceries for this weekend. We stay in a house, so we take all our own food to keep expenses down. I am sure I will chuckle when we get there and I realize all the things my aching head forgot to pick up. gads.

So, I am on my third vicodin today...and right now my head is blissfully numb. I am hoping once I fall asleep, things will relax enough to allow the pain to go away for good and I can enjoy a pain-free long weekend.

In other news, all of the kids finances are getting squared away...and so all four have been paying us back...which is helping our savings account A LOT. I have felt rather poor for quite a while, then I look at all the loans weve dolled out and it really adds up. Thankfully, the kids are all committed to paying it back.

I am taking my laptop with this weekend, so I will be reading blogs and staying up on mine....expecially while the hub catches up on some of those (yawn) testosterone shows he enjoys. I hear we can expect some snow while we are there...nothing quite like snow falling on you in a hot tub. Big Grin

    Oh, I don't see how anyone can work with a migraine. I'm impressed.

    Wow, you are definitely stronger than me, I can only work about 3 hours with a migraine and if I haven't killed it by then, someone usually ordering me to go home because I start looking like I am in a lot of pain.

    Caoineag-I got home and looked in the mirror and can see why someone would say 'go home'. Definately could see it in my eyes.

    I have been up and down with it all night and it is still here this am...not a fun way to start a vacation. Thankfully, my Doc is compassionate and I have plenty of pills to help at least somewhat. argh

    Bummer Ray! Drink some Coke or Mountain Dew, that tames my beast quite often!
