Hurts


Yep. This is kind of how my head feels when I have a migraine. LOUD, disconnected, painful.

I had one today. I am averaging two a week. Stress at work? Crazy weather? Barometric pressure? My new barometer is nice. It shows a little separation between the needles today. Humidity in my room is really low. I can't abide a humidifier. Every time I am in a room where they have humidified the air, I get pleurisy.

The picture above? Not mine. Somebody sent it to me in an e-mail. It is an optical illusion. It is not really moving and looks really neat if you click it and see it in the larger size. People must be getting real bored these days. I am getting an abundance of jokes and neat e-mails in my mailbox these days. The winter blues.

I ran into an old school friend today at the mall. This is one I tracked down and called a few times, we would chat, but she never initiated the phone calls. I took the hint. I "think" she was trying to avoid me at the store, but we were best friends for 8 years, so I wasn't going to let this opportunity go. She and I were neighbors and we both ended up moving to this area. We reminisced for about an hour and she left me with a "Call me, we'll have dinner" remark again, but I wonder. I will give this one more try. I will call her when I have some extra time in late February or March. If she fails to respond then I will sadly close that book.

sorry about the migranes comming more often! I wish that you didn't have all of the environmental factors to put you thru the ringer. As for the old friend, I know how you feel. We as a couple, had been friends with another couple. Our children were very good friends, we helped each other move into our houses. We live in two seperate towns, but they are within 2 miles of each other. I worked for the same company as the woman. We shared almost everything for a few years. Then there was something, I don't know what it was, but something. We didn't even talk for a few years. When Scott got sick, they called him in the hospital, they came to his suprise party. Still no phone calls to the house, or anything else. We invited them to our open house this past NY Day, I spoke to her by phone on the Saturday before. They, the whole family, were a no show. So, I have gotten the hint, I don't have time to play the game. I won't take the time to chase anyone. It just isn't my style. It hurts, but is water under the bridge as far as I am concerned. I applaud you for one more try, maybe life is just too busy and she hasn't gotten it "together."
