This weekend I didnt do a single solitary useful thing. I didn't get my seeds planted, didn't get Maggie detailed, didn't get my room picked up. Didn't cook, didn't do laundry, didnt drive anywhere- didn't watch a movie-(which is usually my fav thing to do on the weekends...just sitting watching a movie with my kids- or sitting on the front porch swing or on the back deck in the shade feeling the breeze on my face(I would say in my hair but I chopped that all off a couple weeks ago-LOL) and just listening to the quiet and peace of nature). I literally SLEPT all weekend.
On the way home from work Friday I got hit numerous times in the face by direct unfiltered sunlight. Bright light- be it natural OR artificial hitting my eyes equals instant migraine. It's Number 2 of my migraine triggers- closely following behind heavy cloying perfumes, colognes or body sprays. The only deodorant that has ever triggered one is the old BRUT deodorant spray. And I don't think they even make BRUT anymore - thank heaven for small miracles.
I actually had to pull the car over twice because I felt like I was going to throw up from the pain. Luckily, I made it home where I immediately took one of my prescription migraine tablets and went to bed. Those things are tiny but they pack a PUNCH- even halved they still knock me OUT for 12 or more hours.
The entire weekend I was awake long enough to eat twice and then it was straight back to bed. I might have woken up and tried to do something on my computer- but honestly I'm not sure if I actually DID that(the computer was in the same place and off when I got up this morning) or if it was just a la-la-land dream. That's another side effect of those tablets- crazy realistic weird dreams. They make total sense while I'm dreaming but on the rare occasion I remember them when I wake up I think "HTH did I ever think that was actually possible in my dream?????" Sometimes I wish I could remember how I did some of the things because if I could get a patent I'd be Elaine Musk RICH!!!
Anywho- that is why I suffer thru migraines on work days. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell I could drive on Patrol when I'm taking my migraine medication. I wouldn't even be able to sit at a desk.
What I'd do is become the Queen of the DREAM TEAM. That's what my sister and I call the on duty sleepers.
Not My Style. Not even in my wildest Migraine Medded up dreams!!!
*I feel much better today- and am wearing my sunglasses.

The migraine is certainly a crappy reason, but congrats on doing nothing. I firmly believe there's something to be said for that.
I totally agree..I think my body finally just said ENOUGH and shut down in the only thing it KNEW would stop me dead in my tracks. Well played, Body...well played.
