Me and my Bright Ideas.

Yesterday: 4:45am, got out of bed. 6am, took DH to work. 7am, got home. 8am, sent Dare off to school. 9am, went to post office, bank, walmart, got easy to eat in the car food. 10:30am, got on freeway to go to Paducah. Noon, made it to Paducah, fought my way across town to bead shop. 1pm, came back thru town, went to Hobby Lobby. 1:30pm, started trip back home. 3pm, got home, unloaded car, fed Tyler. 3:45pm, Dare came home, had snack. 4:15pm, started trip to pick up DH. 5pm, got to DH's work. 5:40pm, decided not to cook and to have cheap Chinese food instead. 7pm, came home, cleaned up livingroom/dining room, started load of laundry. 8pm, went to bed. By 1:30, my head was exploding. By the time I went to get Adam from work, I was seeing double--literally. That was an odd experience--kinda scary to drive like that. My blood pressure had gone through the roof--we stopped at a pharmacy to check it and found I was at 171/119. I couldn't get my thoughts out clearly to Adam, and most stuff was coming out backwards. I suppose he'd forgotten that when my BP is that high, I can't make rational, sane, and safe decisions, and agreed with me when I suggested going out for dinner. Oddly enough, my BP had come down considerably by the time we were done eating dinner. Right now, my head is still going strong on the Pain Scale. But at least I don't have any plans to drive today. Anyone wanna come babysit Tyler for me so I can crawl back into bed?

Anytime my migaines are going to start, my BP raises. Couple that with all the driving, and a prescription that most likely needs updating (glasses) and I was asking for trouble.

I'm glad your ferrying is going to cut way back, tho. I couldn't imagine doing 6 trips a day. Guck!

Moxley has been making 2 trips recently, but that just eats into his work time... I'd rather he was making money.
