Yellow Fever
Yes, I know that I do not have yellow fever...not in the standard terms anyway. But I do have a fever caused by something nasty and yellow!
POLLEN
As Kimburkay calls it..."The Yellow Fog"
It is nasty and makes me feel nasty. It is messing up my favorite season!
I just hope that it doesn't mess up my favorite holiday in 13 days! (see how many of you figure that one out!)

Blinding Lights
Yesterday I was having a productive day and had just sat down for lunch when it suddenly hit me. My computer screen became a wavy flash of lights and the room was filled with brilliant lights that grew in intensity. I knew it was going to be a bad one.
I have a rare form of migraine called hemiplegic migraines. I rarely have pain with my migraines...and I would take the pain anyday over what I go through.
The flashing lights are the beginning and that is followed by complete loss of vision in my right eye. Then the right side of my face droops and goes numb. My tongue and throat are numb and this numbness travels down my right side. I loose the use of my right arm and hand.
Once this starts to subside, I am exhausted and my words are slurred for a while.
It is scary because this type of migraine makes me more subseptable to having a stroke. And who would know because I already look like I have had one?
The only thing I can do is to rest and sleep it off. Yesterday, I sat at work and waited for my vision to get good enough to drive and I went home and slept for hours.
Why am I telling you this? To let you know that everyone has their "thing" that they deal with...this is mine. I am learning to cope with this and they are getting further apart than they were last summer.

Wicked Food
I had the crab cakes, scalloped potatoes and green beans. It was really good UNTIL about an hour later when the indigestion hit. Honestly, after that, I didn't feel good the rest of the weekend. It was all topped off on Saturday evening when the real sickness and toilet worshipping began. Sunday was spent between the couch and the bed.
I do not have time to be sick. We have WAY too much to do to get ready for the big move. Packing has not even begun!!! Saturday we did manage to get the garage cleaned and rid of the junk and I did manage to go through most of the kitchen cabinets and get rid of the junk...but there is still so much to do.
Summer Cold Hell
ok...I wish someone would just come over and cut my head off. It feels as though it weighs 500 lbs. I have a summer cold and I am miserable. I would have stayed home but someone is on vacation and I am her back up. That leaves me to rough through it and try to stay awake all day.
I hate that I don't have something more interesting to write but my pounding head has my undivided attention!
