Had a horrible migraine yesterday which had me sleeping most of the day and nauseous the rest. It pretty much ruined my day because besides the obvious reasons it was a great day and I would have loved to go for a bike ride. Instead I sat home and ate junk food because it makes me feel mildly better while my eye are being pushed out of my head like Oberyn Martell vs The Mountain in the Game of Thrones TV Show.
Today I still had a migraine but – work – so I suffered on normal pain meds (not my super strong uber drugs) until about 5:30 PM when everything just hit me and I felt like I was gonna bust out crying. I can’t drive (migraines make me very dizzy – almost like being drunk or on drugs…so I have read in the medical journals) so I thought maybe a bike ride would help. Basically I just couldn’t stand sitting in the house anymore. I still wasn’t sure it was a good idea so I ran it past The Other (my voice of reason when I am freaking out) and he said that if I just stuck to the neighborhood it should be ok. Then at least if something happened there would be people around.
I was going to disobey him and hit the trails anyway but it was seriously hard to ride today so I thought better of it. I rode all around the neighborhood and hit about 5 miles. Looks like I only miseed 2 streets so that is pretty good considering my state of mind. There was this one hilarious moment when the voice updated on my app and to my migraine-addled brain it sounded like a demon! I freaked out a little and then started giggling so I must have looked like a fool while riding around.
When I got home I still had a headache but at least all my nervous energy was gone so mission accomplished. 🙂
