My Head Hurts!

Just when you start to get on a roll and get things going, it always seems like there is something waiting in the wings to try and derail your efforts. For me it's my migraine headaches. They are a frequent occurrence in my life. One that I am fairly well armed to deal with given the plethora of expensive pharmaceuticals available to me to take care of these brain splitting wonders. Even with medical insurance I still pay a pretty penny to rid myself of this pain. The meds work most of the time, but not all of the time. Herein lies the problem. I am on my second dose of migraine meds, enough to put down an African elephant, and given the fact that I am not a very large person, this is a lot of medication! I have also tried my back up pain med's, which have done nothing. It kind of feels like a big waste of money since now I have ingested the maximum migraine medication I can take in a day and I still have a significant headache. I thankfully am not to the point of heading off to the local ER for a shot of pain medication. That is a trip I really dislike, since it usually takes forever, ends up costing a bit even with insurance and my body dose not like the pain meds at all!

I really thought I was going to be able to get somethings done this week! I could have taken pictures today, it was beautiful outside, but the sunshine was too bright for my head. I went out for a bit to run some errands , and by the time I got home my head was pounding worse than it was when I left! I have a couple of projects I really want to get finished up and I really want to get out in that darn garage so I can organize and make room for my lampworking table!!! I need to melt some glass! Headache or not! I've been away from a torch way too long!

OK, I just needed to rant and rave about my head! No one really needs to listen or read this, I just needed to say it out loud! If you read this far, thanks for listening! Hopefully I will have more new listings trickling into my Etsy shop as the week progresses. My in-laws are visiting next week, so I may not have as many listings while they are here,I want to enjoy their company, I really like them!

Snow Day #4

Well, it's snow day #4, and it snowed again today. It's so pretty watching the snow flakes fall. They sort of have their own little ballet going on out there. I have gotten progressively sicker as the week has gone on. I guess it's nice that I haven't had to use up any sick days or put my co-worker through the pain of having a sub fill my place. I've taken Day quill, but it hasn't done a thing for the massive sinus head ace I have going. I think my head my explode at anytime now.

So here I sit trying to post new listings on my shop, not making much progress, as I am here writing a blog entry. I am drinking peppermint tea, made by my sweetheart, out of my favorite Christmas thing. It's a tea cup we found at an antique shop up in Seattle a couple of years ago, while there for our anniversary. I felt it was time to pull him out since not only is it Christmas time, but yesterday was our 19Th anniversary. I've tried to find another cup like it. It took quite a lot of looking just to figure out the pattern name. I have since found a cup or two for sale on ebay. One of these days, we'll get a second cup so we can have tea together. I'm sure Bob doesn't really mind since most American men don't really like drinking from delicate china tea cups.

The snow flakes continue to fall...yeah! Hopefully this will just be a full snow week! As of Friday we start our winter break. It wouldn't break my heart if we didn't go back to work/school until January.
