All Nighter

We all went to bed happy because they cancelled school for Friday morning at 9:30pm Thursday night due to extreme cold predicted for the a.m. of zero degrees. We don't get that cold here often, I think it's been 6 years since the last time. And, apparently, our children don't dress correctly for the weather (I know mine don't!) and they wait at bus stops or get dropped off outside schools and wait outside until they open (and hello! they can't possibly open them early that would be too logical!). That combined with the likely chance of a bus breaking down, kids getting frost bite, and all of the surrounding counties shutting down their schools before our county did, so I was pretty sure ours would too. So now we have a 4 day weekend! Yay!!!

So anyways, since I didn't have to get up early, I went to bed a little late. No sooner had my head hit the pillow than Mike's cell phone rang. Work problem. He never got back to bed. Poor Mike had to pull an all nighter.

About two hours after that, I woke up with another (yes another!) migraine. This is the 4th one this month. Ugh. It's not as bad as Wednesday's, but seriously? Two migraines in three days, two weeks in a row?! I've got to see my dr about upping my migraine preventative. My fellow sufferers think my dosage is too low by at least 50 mg compared to theirs - wow that is alot.

So I had an all nighter too. At least I kinda slept thru mine. I've popped about all the Midrin I can for today and called in refills for Zomig. I am just living with the ice pick in my temple, it moved out of my eyeball about an hour ago, so that was nice. I am saving the cocktail for extreme cases so I don't overuse it and end up with a Super Migraine resistant to the wonder of combining drugs for pain relief. Well, I'm off to pick up the rx's and some pizza for dinner. Don't feel like cooking and even less, don't want to smell dinner cooking.

What a bummer that you have another migraine. I feel you pain. I sure hope you can get some better meds.

A cold day. Who has heard of a cold day. Weird!
