I have one of my bad headaches (tm) I have always called myself a wimp for not being able to cope with these headaches very well. I *hardly* ever get headaches, especially since the days of hangovers seem to be over for now.

this morning I was complaining to Bill that my eyes were funny. it was like i'd looked at a too bright light, except the result was a halo of light in my peripheral vision.

i had run out of painkillers, but got the prescription filled. an hour later the headache was better but not gone. i walked over to pick N up and that helped too. we stopped in the playground, and while watching a worm inch its way across the tarmac, I had a realisation... I have a migraine, don't I?

Yep, that's a migraine. Classic migraine, even. I hope it improves soon.

it is improved, but i'm going to top myself up with some more co-codamols anyway.

i have had this headache before, but never with the lightshow.

my mum and my brother have crippling migraines. I WILL NOT HAVE THOSE. (won't, won't I say!)

It's perfectly possible to have just the occasional full-on migraine with light show - mine are less than once a month unless I'm very stressed out.

Or pregnant. I'm not bitter, I'm just saying.

Are you free to meet up sometime, by the way?

are you free wednesday? i've already asked nuala if she is.

or tomorrow? I'm planning on spending tomorrow listing stitch markers on ebay and photographing the knitting machines that i really must sell or Bill may get rather cross, but I could be persuaded to change my plans.

or you can come over and play with knitting machines!

Gnome and I are free-ish agents tomorrow and Wednesday. Weds, particularly if Nuala's about? I wouldn't want to get you in trouble with Bill, after all.

wednesday sounds like a plan. shall we wait to hear from nuala before we say where?

as for Bill, much as he'd like me to sort through all the *stuff* he does have a tendency to suggest lunch in the pub on school days... so it's all his fault really!
