Apr. 20th, 2008 10:30 pmMy brain is such pudding lately. I can't focus on anything and time just slips away while I am trying to decide what needs to be done next. I feel like a person with ADD who has been put into a room full of shiny things. It seriously doesn't help that I have been fighting a migraine today either. The headache is all my mother's fault, not because she caused me to be upset, but because I spent most of the day with her yesterday doing home improvement projects. It was a beautiful day, and my brother and I helped her get new storm doors (my brother installed them), paint the front door and trim, change out all of the locks, put in extra reinforcement around the locks and install a new flood light in the front of her house. Okay, Derek did more of the technical stuff than I did, but I had to help him by holding things up while he attached them. IN doing that, I overextended my trapezius muscles, which happen to be a trigger point for my migraines. I have taken medication for it and kept heat on the muscles to relax them. It's helped but it does make things hard to focus when turning my head in certain directions causes pain to shoot through my eyes. I really need to go to the store and I have been getting ready to do so for the past seven hours. I can't get it together enough to do it. Ever have a day like that? Maybe having some caffeine will help.
