Migraine Week (weak)

Had you wondered where I'd gone, last week was 'migraine week'. Not the WORST migraine I've ever had (i take medication to avoid those) but draining nonetheless.

I'm trying desperately to find a silver lining in the entire migraine experience, and so far, this is all I can come up with...

I realize that cologne that smells good to some people, feels like a shot-gun blast to the head during migraine week. This causes me to remember to NEVER wear strong scents in tight spaces (not that I ever would...but you know who you are!).

I only want to eat popcorn. This is a money saving feature. Although, I also can't think to cook, so the money saved by eating only popcorn during the day, gets gobbled up in dinners out.

Having sat in the smoking section (my daughter was waitressing there) I have developed a new respect for establishments that prohibit smoking entirely.

Those were the only silver linings.

But, at some future time, I would like to develop a cable station for migraine sufferers. The premise would be that the sound NEVER fluctuates, there are NO flashing bright lights, and ABSOLUTELY no tight plots that have to be followed closely. Okay...maybe we could run the video feed from a Walgreen security cam, but...at least it wouldn't be too painful to watch.

I don't have migraines (thankfully), but I do get overstimulated. For those times, if I still want to see the television, I adjust the television settings so that everything is very grey. Then a set the television to show the words (for the deaf) and I mute the sound. Two of our three televisions were made in the seventies, so this only works on our newest television (from the nineties), but it is helpful!

Hope this week is awesome for you.
