Migraine today

 I have an excruciating migraine today.  That was really unpleasant.  

When I get sick I feel very alone.  Not that Ron was any help during a migraine but it is nice to hear a loved one tell me I'm a poor baby would I like an ice pack, that sort of thing.  That's all I really require.  

I did, however, have Biscuit laying on me most of the day, purring, Cleo came to visit several times for petting and purring, she also licked my face a couple times.  Spotty came and visited as well.  Thank God for pets.  I can see why people with pets do better than those living entirely alone.  

I'll be OK by tomorrow the headache is about 2/3 of what it was, but I can tell it's moving.  

I took a phenergan tablet around noon and that let me nap and kept me from nausea.  For me the tablet is more useful as a migraine sleep aid, I can literally sleep it off if I can get to sleep, and that did it for me.  

I had the sick time so I used it.  No way I could work like that.  Even now I feel terrible.  I did contact Ace and let him know I wasn't riding today.  

The weather people have no clue what the hurricane is doing, I'm glad I got some snacks.  I don't want to be out in the crowds fighting for snacks.  

Either way I do plan to get litter, cat food, and a couple cases of water tomorrow night (I will give Ace a little extra for his help).  

I suspect the migraine's origin is hormones (about to have a cycle), spice cake I had yesterday, and I had the sun in my eyes for a while as well.  

I am also glad I had my Gatorade powder that was very useful.
