Surefire Way for Migraine Sufferers to Need a Sick Day

Step 1: Pick a night in which natural hormonal fluctuations coincide with a high pressure weather system.

Step 2: Drink an entire bottle of tasty wine with a friend.

Step 3: Eat two chocolate chip covered brownies.

Step 4: Stay up until midnight playing with photos.

Step 5: Eat one more chocolate brownie before bed for good measure.

Step 6: Sleep.

Step 7: Wake up and drink three cups of coffee without eating breakfast.

Step 8: Call in sick because if you’ve done everything right, you’ll be seeing migraine auras within the hour.

(By the way, I’ll classify this as my Dumbass Move of the Month.)

And I really don’t deserve any sympathy…I brought this one on myself by being a dumbass. lol I know better…two glasses of wine good. Half a bottle, bad. One brownie, good. Three brownies, bad. Two cups of coffee with breakfast, good. Three cups with no breakfast, bad. 🙂
I’m feeling better now…took a nap while Baby Boy was napping.

Wow, those things are not my migraine triggers, but dang if I wouldn’t feel poorly if I did that! I think it would be my stomach that would be doing the complaining actually!

Ha! My stomach was fine, amazingly…the head, not so much. Can’t tell you how badly I want one of those brownies tonight though…they’re calling to me, taunting me from the kitchen. 😉
