Maybe Tomorrow will be Better

Icegoddess — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 04:14:46 GMT

Ths morning I wake up around 4:30 am becuase my husband was up walking around. I get up to go to the bathroom because, well, that's what you do when you wake up at 4:30. Hubby tells me the police are down the street and I can see the lights flashing in the window. I look out the window and about that time they turn their lights off and leave, so I go and do my business. However, when I try to flush the toilet it won't flush. I tell hubby and head back to bed figuring I'll worry about it in the morning because I also have a terrible headache and want to sleep it off.

Well, that didn't work so great. Now the cat is awake and assumes it's feeding time, so he has to knead us and crawl over us. I finally get the cat calmed back down and finally doze off and hubby gets back up and starts doing his morning things which involve opening and closing the microwave door several times. Then, someone shows up at the door (it's approx. 6:30) delivering a case of water to us. Turns out the toilet won't work because of a water main break on our street and they don't expect to restore the water until around 3;30 pm. Hubby assumed he was from the water dept. but he sounded a lot like the next door neighbor.

I lay there a little longer, but finally get up and boil some water for some tea. I notice a piece of paper on top of the water bottles indicating that the water did, in fact, come from the neighbors, not the water dept. I guess that shows how much he interacts with them that he doesn't even recognize them.

My headache continues and I finally take something for it, but after about half an hour it gets worse instead of better, and turns into a migraine. So, then I have to go lay down, putting a weighted cover over my eyes as well as laying my forearm across my head because the pressure helps. After about an hour I get up, feeling better, but I have felt yucky all day. Hubby doesn't seem to understand migraine hangovers. He keeps asking if I'm feeling better or if I want to do this or that. It's bad enough pretty much being up since 4:30 in the morning without adding a migraine in the mix.

But, as Scarlett said "Tomorrow's another day."

In my younger days, I suffered from migraines, had to sit in a dark quiet room for several hours until the pain subsided a bit, could not lay down because the throbbing would only hurt more, after about 1-2 days later my head would clear up...somehow, I outgrew the migraines and don't suffer from them like I did, I get the occasional regular headaches that come and go quickly afer taking Excedrin.

@Icegoddess Could your day start off any worse. Don't drink much of the water until the toilet's fixed. LOL

Thanks for your thoughts everybody.

@Mistreatedbycs yes. I did have difficulty waking up and didn't get out of bed until 9 am, but I felt so much better after getting a nice, hot shower. Just sitting here havng my morning hot tea. No real plans for today as we are under a heat advisory again today which started at 10 am. I do need to get out and put some Miracle Grow on my plants, but I may do that this evening before dark or tomorrow after church.

I get a lot of headaches that I didn't get when I was younger, and luckily, I don't get the really bad ones that require me to lay down very often. However, even after the pain goes away, I'm left in a groggy fog.

@Icegoddess Oh my goodness! I can't think of many things worse than your experience, then add the heat of the summer to the mix. I'm so sorry and right there with you.

Please take care.

@Icegoddess

Can't relate to migraines/wife walking around, or especially friendly neighbors. I can personally relate to the cat(cats in my case)route/sheriffs(but at MY door)/and most definitely plumbing.

Our plumbing unfortunately "backed up, sewage". Destroyed 6 figures $$$$ of our home equipment and rooms. Sheriff(actually 4 of them) my wife sleeping in another room. Wanted me to show proof I lived in our own home. HUH? Yep, actually happened in the wee hours.

Not real headaches nor all in one day. But the plumbing took months with hammering it out with my "100% replacement insurance company" that paid at most 35% of our loses. Gotta keep receipts and then the depreciation? Nobody told me about that teenie tiny writing in our policy.

My best escape other than our furry kids? Get thee to the Ice Rink. As 1 late friend of mine(a hockey goalie in my league) used to say to me: "once I hit the ice the pain is gone". I too find that to be very true! Over 50 years of playing and refereeing? Missed only 1 game, because I was in the hospital.

Hope your day and days ahead are much better. I will be heading to the rink again tomorrow after yesterdays skate.
