Today I was supposed to be working and then rushing round packing before going for a lovely evenings drinkies with M. Something I was really looking forward to...
But....
As fate would have it I woke at 3 this morning at first thinking I was going to die. Burning hot and a head ache so bad I though I was about to explode. Then as I was sick I began to wish I could die. I hate being sick. For the first times in ages a real migraine had struck and there was little I could do about it. The weeks of rushing round in circles had finally caught up on me. My body was saying stop in its own way.
I dosed myself up on ibuprofen, not got round to getting some migraine tablets, as they hit so rarely I feel it is a bit of waste. 3 ibuprofen usually make me human enough to get up and out.
Then I got the kids breakfast, took them to kids club and bravely struggled to work. A quiet morning in the office and thankfully I was only sick once but the blinding head ache made every noise seem like gun shots going off. As I have only just started the job I could ill afford to take a day off sick especially as it is half term and I am paying an arm, leg and everything else for holiday care. How much ?! Well more than earn !
Thankfully a friend agreed to have the boys for the afternoon whilst I laid out on her sofa. The ache and sick was replaced by a hollow dull tired feeling in my head and a craving for toast ! It is times like this that having good friends is a true blessing for which I am so grateful.
So as the sun starts to get lower in the sky. I ponder if I can indeed pack in a few hours rather than a whole afternoon. Probably... it is true that tasks do grow to fill the time available. They usually get done much more quickly when you are truly focused and not putting the kettle on every five minutes.
However, the drinks out will have to wait until I return from the sunny beaches of Cornwall. I am disappointed. I feel like we have had such little time together over the last few weeks. Work, home commitments ... all consipiring to keep us apart. But good things come to those who wait.... ... or so I hope ! 
Here's to sun, sand, surf and a good weeks rest by the sea.

Hope you made it to your time away. Migraines seem to just know when to strike, don't they? don't shake if you don't want spice |
