  • Well, that was a day wasted.

    Woke up with a migraine to end all migraines. Faded just long enough to do Minion something to eat at about 7.

    Then continued with moglet's treatment for at least 35 minutes...made Minion watch and assist with wound cleaning (which she wasn't pleased about) because it is our responsibility to take care of our pets, even when it's gross things like making his head explode again.

    Then the headache came back and I just haven't bothered with anything else.


    [looks sideways.....]

    Oooh, numbers.....

    I hope you've taken something for the migraine Jojo. Do you know what caused it?

    I'm currently awake dealing with side effects from medication that were bearable during the day while work could distract me, but now I'm tired and want to sleep... I have to talk intelligently to a client at 8am and then I'm calling my GP as apparently these side effects aren't normal... I've been told to call before I take anymore pills :(

    I'm tired, bored, fed up and in pain and just want to sleep until I can do something about it.

    Nope, no idea, I'm afraid. Took a decongestant on the offchance that it was sinus related long with some painkillers, but I even felt sick, which is so rare as to be almost unheard of.

    Have to get my behind into gear and register with a new GP round the corner as there is a walk in centre where they accept registrations as well. Seems to be a private contractor, but not sure how that affects quality of care. Fed up with having to tell my current GP when I am planning on being ill one day short of a month in advance and then spending 45 minutes to get there on the bus to be kept waiting for another 39 minutes. At least with being a walk in as well, I can always turn up and wait at the new one, weekends as well, I suppose.

    I hate being ill and unable to sleep as well. At this rate, I think I am going to try and stay up until tonight, or I won't sleep tonight either.


    Oh, for the teenage days where I could sleep on a washing line!

    I've just lost a post because I lost my internet connection GRRR!

    Morning All

    I'll try again

    Greenbee - hope you get your tablets sorted soon - hugs

    Jojo - hope your migraine's gone now

    If I'd have known you pair were up at such a ridiculous time I'd have come online for a chat as the stupid dog woke me up at 3.15 because he wanted to go out. I have managed about an hour's sleep since then though.

    I've got 2 applications to write this morning, work this afternoon and then swimming lessons this evening so I may as well pretty much write today off.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning Peeps

    DS1's op was cancelled, his eye was a little better and given that he has been ill this week they didn't want to risk a GA.

    I have just been to try to fix TD and the seal has disappeared. It is getting urgent as towel & bedding mountain is growing by the minute.

    Fridge cleaned

    To dos
    DS2 SALT appointment pm
    Find stuff for SIL
    Go to Bank
