This morning the migraine had eased to the point of being nearly gone. Mum and I finished packing away her Christmas china then ran a few errands. Then this afternoon the migraine returned. Now that night has fallen it's even worse than the last one and I've maxed out on pain meds. I should like to cry. I'm gonna disappear for the night and hope that warm compresses provide enough relief that I can sleep. Blessed be my brothers and sisters.

There's a pile of branches starting to form in the neighbouring garden now.

So it could well become:

Neighbour: "Hey, Marty. Any plans for tonight?"

Marty: "Yeah, I'm going to start a bonfire in your garden."

 

Um... are you starting to talk to people who aren't really there? Maybe wear a sun hat when the sun is out.

Yup. That's a winner!  

I'm actually thinking that I don't really want to use a photograph of the work on the two sheds in two consecutive weeks. Maybe in a week or two's time, when that work is basically complete...

Sun? What's that?

Well, it's 00:35am as I start to type this, so I think it's time to get my much needed beauty sleep.

(Although I'm sure Albert will say that I'll be wasting my time. )

Night all!

Have you tried rubbing your temples. I put a finger on each side of my head and rub my temples to get my migraine to go away a little bit. Too ad there is not another guy there to rub your tootsies, especially your big toes and the all of your big toes cause that would help with the pain, too!

I don't talk to imaginary people, though. Preston is a stick.

Night, bro.

A mythical creature that travels across the sky, bringing warmth and light.  Not to be confused with the moon, which is that bright, round thingy that shows up in the night sky.   It would be quite nice if the sun turned out to not be a myth, but lately I think more people have actually seen a sasquatch or the Loch Ness monster.

Of course that's much more reassuring  #oldpeople

Yeah, talking to an inanimate length of wood sounds so much better.

Please note: As it's early morning here I specified inanimate wood as opposed to just any old bit of wood.

Thanks. I use all manner of means to deal with my migraines. I cope with intractable migraine. It's the reason I'm on disability since I have some level of migraine for at least part of every day. Before my current treatment I spent a couple days each week medicated and in bed with a severe migraine. Now it's unusual for me to be bedridden though typically I spend the latter part of each day resting quietly to avoid a worsening migraine. The last few days have been outside the norm for me. This morning is better.

Some days it feels good to have a naughty boy smile at you.

That's Dougal! Or Pollux in Le Manège enchanté (the original, French version of The Magic Roundabout).  

It was actually Zebedee (the one on the right) who used to say "Time for bed" in the series.

That old moon is not to be trusted, though.  

It occasionally shows up in the sky during the day, as well!

So would that make it morning wood?
