Tunnel Vision

Take one vice, put your head in it and slowly tighten - a guaranteed way to replicate the symptoms of a migraine. Oh, and chuck in a spot of tunnel vision for good measure. Bleuuggghhhh!! :-(

It has actually been a while since I've had one. Only the other day I put the box out to remind me to renew my prescription as I have run out of my magic tablets. Migraines have the ability to totally screw up your day (and your week, in worst cases, I understand). I'm quite fortunate that mine are relatively mild, but the b*gger is that you never know when one is going to strike. Felt a little bit weird this morning but as I sat and worked I noticed the tell-tale loss of peripheral vision and suddenly not being able to focus properly. Cue scrabbling around and THEN remembering I had run out of drugs.

Lots of paracetamol and fluids later and I have made it to the end of the day, though I have missed a meeting I really wanted to attend.

F and H were deposited this evening and I was able to let H loose on the boxes of "vintage" toy cars that were once "Daddy's". I can now barely move in the living room without tripping over something. But they both had an excellent hour or so lining the cars and trucks up on one side of the room and the contents of the the box containing my Dinky tanks on the other. Cue salvos of matchsticks flying across no-man's-land! :-)

Wasn't sure what to Blip tonight, but the sinister Peterbilt truck, circa 1980, seemed an appropriate choice for tonight, for I now feel as if I have been run over by one. Soon to bed me thinks!

Night night Blipland!
