Don't you just hate it when you're out running errands and something like a migraine just gets in your way?!?! Today was supposed to be a "me" day since I'd made absolutely no plans with anyone to do anything. I was going to drink my morning coffee, read the newspaper, play on the computer a little and then go out and do a little shopping. Mr. Fairway was off to the YMCA to exercise so I had the whole day to myself.Everything seemed just fine. I dropped a letter off at the Post Office and then went into one of my favorite discount stores in the neighborhood. Coming away empty-handed, I proceeded to drive on over to yet another discount shop a few miles away. There I was walking through the aisles when suddenly I began to see the all-too-familiar kaleidoscope light show right before my eyes. Oh, oh!
I have to say I've been a pretty lucky person as far as migraines go. They started when I was in the 7th grade and I've had very few through my life...certainly less than one a year. And, unlike some people, mine only last a few hours and then disappear.
But lately I seem to be having more than my usual share....I guess you could call them migraine clusters. Thankfully, they are still short in duration but they do leave a residual feeling like I'm wearing a beanie too tight on my head. That's where I am right now. I managed to drive home, took an aspirin and went to bed for a while so the really booming headache is gone. Now if I could just get over this too-tight beanie feeling, I'd be just fine.
