Well, in all fairness I have been feeling Shitty! Capitol S. These last few days have been some of the narlyest ones. My stomach has been more upset than ever it seems and then yesterday I got my first full blown migraine after being free from them for 10 months. All good things must come to an end... I think there were some important factors, namely stress, that brought this dragons head back into the light. Yesterday I was extremely stressed with my ongoing group project at school and as a result the scales tipped and I lapsed into pain, or more pain. Yesterday I experienced two bouts of migraines, or a two series thing with a third happening early this morning.
The first one happened on friday morning at around 10:30 as I sat furiously manipulating my computer model so that I could hand the 3d schematic in on time. My eyes turned into a blur and soon enough I was guessing where my mouse cursor was. I stumbled my way through and then sent it off with some time to spare but then was feeling so down on life that I just hopped on my bike and went back home. I took my medications and went to bed.
I woke up feeling much better. I got some food in my stomach and headed back to school to complete my last electrical engineering lab I'll ever have to take, provided I pass that is. (I didn't pass my midterm) That went okay but every one in the group was kind of feeling zombieish. It helped us laugh because no one was wondering what was wrong with the other group members but it didn't help us finish the lab very quickly. Oh well.
I got home and ate a quick plate of rice and hummus before I ran out the door to meet my friend. We hung out all evening, walked around west edmonton mall, ate at Tony Romas (not recommended), and watched the new Thor movie. I would have really enjoyed the movie except I started getting another onset of migraine aura so tried to close my eyes as I watched the movie. Hard to do in something that is interesting. Getting home was rather laborious because of the splitting headache. I probably wasn't very nice company for my friend either. I did make it home however and went promptly to bed. Then this morning I woke up numerous times with another splitting headache developed. I pressed the snooze button countless times and reprogrammed the alarm time an hour later until I couldn't avoid getting out of bed any longer. Again I got some food in my stomach which made me feel a little better and headed out the door into winter wonderland. By the time I met up with my friend and got to his house my head was feeling much better so I really can't complain. I've found that my eyes have been pretty sensitive all day but not overly. I did study my linguistics for two hours today which was exclusively on powerpoint. I had a really fun time, played two games of bowling, a round of laser tag, and a game of pool. Then the six of us headed back home and had some salmon, rice and veggies for dinner. What another wonderful day spent with good people! I am truly blessed no matter any potential downsides that I might single out. Our outlook is so important to how we enjoy life. Choose to look out to the good knowing that good is certainly coming!
