Migraines. Several now for me. Scale that has flucted up and refuses to go down so I finally recorded it. Everything status quo for now with the men in my life (DH & Blue) while we wait to see what unfolds and Dr appointments arrive. Waiting to see if I feel up to work. Took a second Maxalt as the first didn't knock it out. Really need to work. My caseload is growing again and I'm falling behind.

Honestly I've been very good with food. I imagine it might be the stress. I am drinking water. I'm not yet exercising but I just barely got back on track and normally, at least at the beginning I drop pretty consistently. It is rather discouraging but obviously I need just to keep doing what I'm doing.

There is a little ray of sunshine this coming week. Two nights of live music! I've had the tickets for months. I LOVE live music and am cautiously looking forward to it. Saturday is Tedeschi Trucks Band and we'll spend the night in Spokane since it's a couple hours drive back home. Got a great deal thru hotwire.com for a room. Then on Tuesday Southern Soul Assembly with JJ Grey, Luther Dickinson, Anders Osborne, and Marc Broussard. That's in our town and we are taking Mom with us. Both should be great!

Oh, I almost forgot the icing on the cake! My supervisor told me I am apparently being subpoenaed in a child welfare case, one in which they are concerned I will be asked to testify against the department. Definitely not something I want to be involved in. I haven't been served yet and am hoping I can avoid the drama! It really is true. When it rains it pours.

All that complaining aside I am grateful

1. My husband is still alive
2. My dog is still alive.
3. I have a decent job with decent health insurance.
4. I work with a team that cares about me and supports me.
5. Even my mom is still alive!!
6. I have a roof over my head and a car that works.
7. And even though the scale is not reflecting losses right now I am on track and taking better care of me.

So another day, another opportunity to shine. Time to hop into the shower and see how my head feels. Thanks for listening, it helps to know I am not alone.

Migraines, no fun. Mine were coming back, was not happy. Went back to being good about taking my calcium, magnesium, zinc mix and haven't had one start to appear since. Magnesium levels can trigger migraines.

#8 on that list is your concert tickets. We have exactly the same taste in music. I loved susan T before she was with derek. What a fun time to look forward to. That upfluct thing- I refuse to acknowledge mine. I have no idea what migraines are like but I hope yours go away soon-I know you've had them for years...wheres the cure?? Be kind. Have a good day.

I hope the migraines are gone by now and you are feeling much better. I also hope that you don't get a subpoena. I am so happy though that you will be getting out. I know things have been rough lately and you need to get out listen to that music and kick up your heels. Hugs to you and you know my email..and my facebook..

I think Gary Clark Jr. is opening for Tedeschi Trucks. Adore him. I too am a migraine sufferer. I hope you are feeling better.
