Migraines...I have been 3 weeks with no migraine.  It's completely unbelievable to me.  I'm relieved, relaxed, and to be honest, a little irritated that this precious NATURAL remedy has never been mentioned in the 15 years I've suffered migraines.  I try not to dwell on that, though.  Instead, I do things I haven't been able to do in years.  This week will be interesting...a little TMI, but it's the wonderful week of the month where your hormones go batty.  This is the week of the month where I have 5-7 migraines...in that one week.  Some so bad that I have to 'shoot up' the imitrex instead of just swallowing a pill.  Normally by Tuesday, I'll have at least a little migraine.  So we'll see what happens.  Fingers crossed. I have an appt with the neurologist next Monday, so I'm interested in hearing what she has to say.

Working...Friday was my last shift at Venue.  It may be my last shift at a restaurant period.  I think the messed up schedule and the pounding my feet all day and carrying dishes and trays just encourage migraines.  It's hard money to give up, but now that I've had a taste of no migraines, I'm a bit addicted to it.  So, I'll find another summer job.  The music on Friday absolutely SUCKED and of course I had to close because it was my last shift.  I was miserable...it takes a lot for me to truly not like music.  But 2 of the 3 bands that performed honestly hurt.  I tried wearing ear plugs, but they were too big and kept popping out of my ear.  Ugh.  Awful.

Chorus...I've decided to stick it out for this semester.  We only have 9 rehearsals left and 2 of them I can't go to.  So I can suck it up.  I probably won't do next semester, though.  Matt has added a few songs that are a bit more challenging and interesting, so that's good.

Yoga...I'm not going 2-3 times per week and I love it.  Period. Nothing more to say about that.

Gym teacher...we'd been emailing back and forth since my initial email.  He kept asking questions, so I patiently answered them so he'd feel a bit more comfortable going out with me.  Friday I didn't get his email until after midnight when I got home from work.  I was too tired to write back then, and I was gone all day Saturday, so I didn't reply until Saturday evening.  I haven't heard back yet, so maybe he's not interested.  I know it's only Monday...but I'm just under the impression he's not that interested.  I'm a bit bummed out, but still excited I actually took the initiative on this one.

Please continue to send thoughts and prayers to David - my co-worker's son.  She's giving us daily updates and things are about to get worse because they want to take the tubes out so he won't be sedated (something like if he stays sedated the brain will 'forget' to tell the lungs to breath).  That means the pain will get through a bit more.  Oye.  He needs a lot of prayers.


Peace.
