The simple things

Day 1 of my second migraine this week or a particularly day 3 of the first. I suspect it's the former and a good reminder to myself that trying to plough through them (no matter how time critical the work I trudged up to London for Monday lunchtime was) always has it's cost. Financially and health wise.

To be fair, I don't think the minor drama that erupted over a unopened rehearsal venue on Monday evening when I was planning on resting helped. The blublocker glasses did though and yesterday at work was doable. I stuck to the less brain achy work on my list and thought maybe I'd found a way to work through them.

Just in case all this sounds like a woe is me return to blip. It's not. I feel reassured that my previous approach is the right one. I knew that really but it's nice to have it confirmed.

So today I've had that slightly odd combination of lying in a darkened room (well once the totally out of it phase passed late afternoon anyway) unable to do anything but lie there while feeling strangely blessed. And this evening, having run out of the food I bought on Monday, I raided my friends' cupboards and have enjoyed the best in comfort food.

So, now it's back off the devices, back to bed for the downtime my brain needs after several days of going a bit mad. I'm hoping that I actually get some sleep this evening and make it into work tomorrow. And yet I feel bizarrely chilled and content. What will be, will be. If this is a new migraine symptom, I'm liking it. The mood impacts are normally in the opposite direction.

Life's good.
