What a horrible, wasted day.

I woke up at 5:50 this morning with a migraine, so I climbed out of bed and took my meds. The meds work well, which means I no longer have the pain, but now I'm completely wiped. I dropped both boys off at Éiden's preschool this morning and then tried to write but I couldn't think at all. Lately, that's been happening a lot with my migraines. Words start to escape me and it will take longer than usual for me to process what people say or what's happening around me. Today, I'm even having some motor trouble (my fingers are not functioning properly which means that as I've typed this, I've had to go back repeatedly and fix the numerous typos because my fingers keep hitting the wrong keys). I hate days like this. I feel like a zombie. I'm exhausted, but I'm unable to sleep. I feel like I'm just sitting here, waiting for the day to end and it's only 11:53 in the morning. Thankfully, [livejournal.com profile] haddayr is home from work today so she was able to pick up Arie and Éiden and I don't have to be "on" when they get home. I can just go lay down and stare at the wall or ceiling. I'm grateful that I have meds now (I sometimes wonder how I was able to manage without them) but I'm still sick and tired of getting all these damn migraines and losing entire days at a time to them.

THOSE are the kind I get. I hate them. I hate them so much. You have my empathy and my sympathy.

Thank you.

Yeah, I get those too. My problem is I can't stay awake after the meds have kicked in--though reading about your day, I think I prefer sleeping like the dead to staring at the wall like the undead. Ugh.

Thankfully, I was finally able to fall asleep for a couple hours yesterday.

Oh, I'm glad. (It's hard to feel good about wasted time. But at least when you're asleep, you don't have to dwell on it.)

Man, that sucks! Sorry...

Thanks.

Oh, YUCK. I hope you're feeling at least a bit better today. *hugs*

Tuesday there's a new album out that might help you.

It's song #3

Thanks. Perhaps the zombies could eat my neighbor's obnoxious dog while they're at it. ([livejournal.com profile] sacwentie promised she'd take care of it while she was out here, but she failed in that department)
