I almost never get up in the middle of the night. When I can’t sleep, I just lie quietly and keep trying. Once in a while I read a book with a flashlight (so as not to disturb my husband, and also because too much light will wake you right up). So here I am, having gotten all the way up, come downstairs, and gotten onto the laptop, knowing damn well that screens are not conducive to sleep (I read that somewhere, or I heard it on the health segment on the news, or maybe both).
Well, you see, I went to bed early with a migraine, having not made my blog post, largely due to having the headache most of the day. I am still suffering from great pain in my head as well as nausea. And I woke up, unable to get back to sleep, and fearing that too much sleep will only give me a worse headache. So I thought, “I’ll go downstairs and make my blog post.” Unfortunately, I feel to ill to do anything but complain. I know, what a whiny baby. I hate to be called whiny, but sometimes I just have to cop to it.
But here is one amusing thing: how I remember how to spell “nausea.” On an episode of The Flintstones, Fred and Barney got a boat. One of them wanted to name it “Nautical Lady,” and the other wanted, “The Queen of the Sea.” They took the first three letters of one and the last three letters of the other. Betty said, “What a sickening name!” I’m thinking it would be a good name for the boat of a person who often got seasick.
And now I am approaching 300 words. I call that respectable for a Blogger’s Sick Day. I’ll try for a better post tomorrow, when my headache goes away.

You get a lot of those headaches, it seems 😦 I’m getting worried!
I need to call the neurologist again. And be better about avoiding migraine triggers, I admit. But they don’t always cause the headaches and they are my favorite things!
