This weekend was half awesome, half not so awesome. Friday, as you know, I had that migraine but it went away with a pill and a lunchtime nap. After all that ish, I was one of the people at work who won in the costume contest so I scored a $50 gc to Target. Sweeeeeet! I was a soccer player from Hell:
Free money in my pocket feels like fire, so of course I had to spend that gc right away lol! I bought this silly kitty jungle gym for Tinka thats got three tiers of fun to it, and the 8th season of The Simpsons because its got one of my favorite Treehouses of Horror on it (you know, the one where Lisa does that Science Fair project growing mold and she accidentally creates life when she zaps the petri dish with static electricity? yeah, i freakin LOVE that one!).
Anyhoo, I woke up Saturday morning feeling pretty fuzzy-headed, which is never a good sign. Yes, it was because I hung out with MJ the night before and yes, I do realize now that I need to tell her to go home at least a few hours before I hit the sack at night. I went to acupuncture and also realized that I hadn't had any treatment for migraines in about three weeks, and that probably had a lot to do with all the bs from last week so I won't be skipping out on any appointments from now on. The doc said that its important to keep coming even when you feel better because it just makes sure that the energies are continuing to flow the way they should be. Makes sense, and when I stood up after the acupunture and acupressure I did feel a lot of tension and pressure trickle out of my neck and sinuses. I always feel like such a goob when the doctor is right.
Even with the acupunture appointment, the migraine didn't completely dissipate and I did wind up having to take yet another Imitrex later on in the day. I was pretty upset about it, but what else could I do? I lead a pretty busy life, and I can't always stop to lie down, pull the shades, take a nap, etc. etc. etc. everytime a migraine hits. Mostly what I was upset about was the number of Imitrex I'd already taken that week, bc its dangerous to start down the path of rebound headaches. Rebound headaches are what landed me in the hospital a couple months ago, and its really not something I'm wanting to do again anytime soon. The Imitrex did its thing, and I was able to get some good rest and relaxation in before heading out to Denton to be transformed into this:
I was a witch :) Luxe did an awesome job on the makeup, but I'm sorry to say that it itched like crazy and halfway through the night a lot of it had been scratched off inadvertently. Next year, I'll remember to MOISTURIZE beforehand.
