Kymberlie’s Excedrin Migraine kicked my migraine’s butt. Yeah!!! w00t! Two thumbs up for the Excedrin Migraine. Todd, next time Robyn tries to get you to try it you had better do it. Got that? Or I am going to send wife #3 after you to kick your butt. Yep, that’s a threat, and considering the e-mail she was kind enough to include me on today to my ex-husband, you had better be scared.

The latest on CNN (Todd so kindly named this “Christine’s News Network): Yeah, this time wife #3 wasn’t nearly as mad at me as she is at the ex. Poor guy, he got his butt kicked. Can’t say I blame her though – it seems HE put the idea in her head that I wanted him back! Goober. I never said or thought any such thing. If you’re the type who wants to follow this soap opera, you can read more… (be warned, it’s LOOOONG…)

My site is freaking out. It seems like it is hitting a point where it just stops building the page. If you click on a “talk back” link and go to an individual entry page then you see the sidebar and all the other good stuff. But not if you are just here on the index page. And I don’t have the blog set up to use the “more” feature! Help! Anyone have the GM code handy to make “more” display here on the main page and then when you click it you go to the entry page and see the full thing? I am going to try a few things to see if I can at least fix this first page.

Added later: Ok, fixed it by moving the long letter from Rick to the “More” block of that entry page. I still need to figure out how to do that in the future though. Right now I don’t have the code in GM for the main index to display “more” when needed. So I still need help. Anyone?

Reading Understanding Migraines sums up how I felt yesterday: Some people feel irritable during migraine attacks and seek solitude, often in a darkened room. Following an attack, many people feel washed out and listless. They forgot to mention how I have to turn the air conditioning down so it’s really cold, and I must have an ice pack at the base of my neck. Sheets and a light blanket covering me, but nothing more. And they psycho cat (Murphy) had better leave me alone, but Mona knows that she should come curl up beside me to try to make me feel better. I swear she knows when I have a migraine, she walks across the bed as if she is tip-toeing… doesn’t want to disturb me but wants to come comfort me. Food doesn’t trigger my migraines, but I did have three other triggers for yesterday’s – psychological stress, fatigue or irregular sleep, and changes in weather. Know what? Migraines suck.

I know exactly how Hilary feels … my mom always used to gang up on me with my boyfriends, friends or ex-husband even. Everyone’s excuse for it? Because I like to argue. No. Not a valid excuse, and I don’t like to “argue” anyways, although as a Libra I love a good debate or discussion any day. There is a difference. When I discuss something with someone we should be able to stay on an even temperment and state our views without putting the other person’s views down. Not my mom though – it is an arguement with her. If I said the sky was blue-grey today she would correct me and tell me it was grey-blue. I think that’s part of why she never liked the Insignificant Other – he would take my side and hated how she would argue with me. He would never agree with her, which I think was a threat to her – she couldn’t control him. So instead she just hated him. Oops, sorry – she told me once “I don’t hate him … I don’t even know him.” Yeah, ok, it’s all a matter of semantics.

It must be a Freudian thing. I don’t know too many females that really get along with their moms. A few, but not too many. Thank goodness I have a son!

Yesterday I felt hot & flush (but only on the inside, one of the other moms at Scouts checked & said I didn’t feel warm to her – you know, it’s a mom thing) and my stomach hurt and I just felt like crap. I was asleep before ER started. Blah. I feel somewhat better today, but not up to par. Thank goodness I had already made arrangements to scoot out of work early because I need to pick my son up after school – my Mom can’t watch him. I was going to bring him back to the office, but then decided to just take him home.

Think anyone would notice if I just curled up under my desk and went back to sleep? I’m not tired, that’s just the only thing that makes me feel better. Maybe Kymberlie’s Excedrin will kick in & help. Oh, how I hope it will…
