The Battle for Ma's Mind

(huh, it's still dark....why did I wake up so early?)

Notice anything....?.....a pain behind your left eye?

(oh man...not a migraine....)

*makes mental note to add "fuzzy head" and extreme weather change to Official List of Migraine Precursors*

You'd better go right downstairs and pop a couple Excedrin Migraine pills. I'm just sayin'.

(but, it's so nice and warm under the covers...)

You'll be sor---ry....

(possibly. but if I move it might hurt more)

Your capacity for for excuse-making is limitless.

(heh, heh)

Feeling nauseous, yet?

(well, maybe a little....)

*sound of sleet hitting window, followed by the procurement of meds*

*sound of glasses falling off book-laden nightstand*

(good thing the trash is overflowing....nice cushion for the falling specs)

You are such a slob.

(yeah, if life were different, I'd be a guy and have a wife to clean up this stuff)

Riggghhhht. Your own husband doesn't have that....

(the im-portant question here, is how am I going to find my glasses when I can't see?)

*sound of pawing through trash with flashlight in hand*

(i'm gonna lose more brain cells, I just know it....)

For every migraine, you need to compensate by reading 3 books or completing 15 crossword puzzles. In your case, it wouldn't hurt to do both.

*snort*

(i wonder if having a migraine burns more calories.....)

Only if you get out of bed.

*sigh*

And don't think you're getting any sympathy from me.

(right....*sigh*....)
