even though a texas sized migraine tried to take me down
yesterday
~
so today i walk on eggshells
knowing that a rebound migraine is waiting in the wings
for me to become a victim
again
~
is your shopping done. how about your baking. and your wrapping and ribboning.
have you sung any carols yet. baked a pie. made a snow angel. are all the lights on your tree lit. stockings hung.
~
not me
not yet
oh well
*
Migraines.. those nasty intruders. I hope you're feeling tip-top again soon and that the only thing on the rebound is your energy.
ReplyDeleteOh, been there and done that. Inhaled Imitrex does give some relief, if you've never had the prescription, ask Dr. for it.
ReplyDelete"oh well"
ReplyDelete....love it.
Hope the head stays
relaxed and running smoothly
today and all the days to come:)

Beth, You and I seem to be symbiotic. Yesterday I had a killer migraine. Today I wait for the mild pain to try to overcome me. I have not baked..not sent a single card...not wrapped one thing....not finished shopping all the way...still have 3 teaching days this week, where I feel overwhelmed as well. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry! "Texas-sized". Wow! That's a biggie...
ReplyDeleteSending you some "Texas-sized" relief!!!
Christmas comes in the heart ... not in the oven. And your heart seems to carry Christmas all the year 'round.
ReplyDeleteTerrible time of year to have a texas-sized migraine. Sending you quiet..healing vibes and wishes.
ReplyDeletequietly saying..that is one BIG headache . feel better soon ..shopping . baking . wrapping etc under all that pressure is overrated..hang in there
ReplyDeleteI don´t think I have mentioned this before just how much I like your title photograph, it takes my breath away every time. My partner sometimes suffers from migraine too and we´ve found gently massaging and stimulating the blood vessels on the side of the neck can help.
ReplyDeletewhispers and hugs, and no, not me either. i'm in good company. xoxo

I'm not really doing Christmas this year...no decorations, few gifts...wrote my holiday poem, though...

busy with giving things to Goodwill, sorting out for the end of Feb move....pensive, reminiscing.
I've barely had a headache in my entire 66 years...good thing, with all my other calamities. I feel for you, though, and hope another doesn't return!!!
oh, Beth!
ReplyDeletesending soothing thoughts.
and that photo is wondrous.
very behind here. I don't know why, but it's okay. everything is always okay.
deep breathes .
stay healthy and beautiful and wondrous.
love ya
Beth, I followed a trail of blogs that brought me to you. My name is Beth, too. Your blog delights me. And that makes me happy. I have migraines, as well. Big bad ones that are sometimes Texas-sized. I have one today, and, so, I, too, have a list of things that are not yet done for Christmas. And it's okay. I like the comment that said "Christmas comes in the heart, not the oven."
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, take care of yourself. I hope that nasty migraine goes away and stays away. Not done, no I don't have paper to wrap gifts. Off to the store to find a good sale.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are up and about. Beautiful shot. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, you poor thing. I had a migraine once in my life and it was the worst pain ever because it's your head. I hope you're on the mend.
ReplyDeleteI bought a small artificial tree today and I cannot believe the satisfaction that has come from it. It took only about a half hour to decorate and it's made me smile from ear to ear.
Just little things for the stockings to get and some gifts are still on the way (last minute online deals) but am hoping to pick up a few fun things in NYC when I go on Tuesday morning. I am so psyched! And will see my son and stay at his place. Cannot. Wait.
xoxoxo
Oh I feel for you, I had a monster of a migraine yesterday and have been feeling fuzzy today.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much there with all the christmas bits, just some last minute grocery shopping to do and I'm all set.
Oh, I hope that migraine stays far far away now. Go slow to go fast - do just what feel good and the rest can be left behind...Take good care of you, Lovely Beth !
ReplyDeletenope. me either. wrapping right now, taking a break to distract myself. i hope your head is better today, i know what it's like. feel better. christmas will come, it will all get done, take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteOh Beth, I'm sorry to hear about the migraines. I suffer from them, too, and can sympathize with you. Don't worry about Christmas. It will get done. Instead, get better.
ReplyDeletexo Erin
Shopping and wrapping are done and the baking starts next week. Wish I was there to share some of it with you.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Beth.
xoxo jj
I hope you are feeling better today Beth. Migraines can sure bring a person down.
ReplyDelete'Tis NOT the season for a migraine (it never is). Hope you are feeling better, and that the monster does not return.
ReplyDeleteSo hope you feel better tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMy shopping, baking, wrapping, even my decorating is not done yet and I may get a headache thinking about it!
dammit Beth, I live in Texas and never had one of those headaches. crap. stop it. here no ribbons, no tree, yet plenty of baking, good friends, good wine and good times. simple. and perfect
ReplyDeletehope you're feeling better just knowing that mine wields the horsepower of the Black Hole. :)
ReplyDeleteNo baking for me this year!! Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes my lights are on the tree and gorgeous!
Gifts have been purchased and wrapped...so I am good to go!
Just need to get the food for the feast!
I too get migraines so I feel you pain. Be well soon!
Hugs
SueAnn
I have been in extra pain lately so much of these things are not done at my house either...and oh well has been my thoughts also...hope you feel better..may peace and joy rule at your home no matter what gets done. XX
ReplyDeleteYes, I am ready.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas heart is ready.
God bless you this Christmas. (I hope your headache has taken a hike.)
So sorry you have been sidelined. If it makes you feel better, none of my stuff is done yet -- vacation, then returning to work at a busy time has me far behind the eight ball. It'll happen.
ReplyDeleteLooking down all your posts -- one comment on this one for now as I catch up. Merry Ho Ho.
just think.. when you feel totally better you'll feel great and realize just how bad you felt... sending you healing vibes.. xxxx
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDelete-loving your new header!
I hope your headache is better and I just wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDelete"oh well"....perfect!
ReplyDelete(It let ME off the hook to:))
Sorry for the migraine...I get them too and it can really knock a person down.
Glad you came back here:))
been quite a month. i've been busy rushing around and still feel as though i haven't accomplished much. we did get our shopping done and we have a tree up- though without decorations yet, sigh- we've even visited some family but mostly we're preparing for my surgery Thursday. hope your migraine doesn't come back so you can enjoy the day to its fullest.
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie...those are the worst. Hope today is better. xoxo
