Not the best of days so far

My daughter is coming to take me out for Mother's Day. Yay! My house is a mess. A royal mess. I've been doing spring cleaning and reorganization. I'm at the things are worse before better stage. Ok so today I'm gonna have to hustle. But first lunch so I don't keel over from low blood sugar. I had a greek yogurt. My stupid colon objected. Violently objected. Now I have a migraine with visual disturbances...i.e. diplopia where everything looks like someone smashed a mirror. All the pieces are there just mixed up, out of kilter & way too bright. I took my meds and having a rest in my comfy chair with cat. Cat was an optional feature of the chair. He's a great lap warmer but when your colon is mad at you he's a bit in the way. Its hard to clench & run while having a 22 lb ginger tabby clinging to your chest.

Oh great! I knew I should have stayed off the laptop. But I had to look up a bird I saw outside. Turned out it was a magpie. A magpie in my finch feeder. At least I know who's been eating all the food. Not little birds the size of your thumb. Nope it's this creature out of Hogwarts.

I gotta go my head is starting to hurt. Starting? Yes because not all migraines involve pain. Unless you ignore them & go look up birds on the net.

Yes, as Agora says, feel better soon. My house is a tumbled up mess too, as I am trying to get rid of a lot of my husband's stuff. Every week I drag 2 very heavy hefty bags to the street. Not much fun.

Discarding 2 heavy Hefty bags per week? At least you're lightening the load in your home👏

It's important to keep a clean house kind of shows your character as a person mine's always very clean.

If that’s true, my character looks pretty trashed today.

My house looks like a frat house. My husband and I both work full time, we have 2 little kids, and 4 pets. I’ve stopped caring if people judge my house. If they don’t like it, they can stay at their house.

I work really hard trying to clean it up on Sunday and Monday. By Friday, it’s trashed again. 🤷‍♀️

Felix Unger raised me. I feel that she's looking down from heaven & tsktsking me.

Happy Mother’s Day. Sorry it’s not going well for you. Maybe just skip the cleaning and organizing for one day. Your daughter will understand. I sometimes have migraines. No pain until later but I can’t see when it starts. I’ve found ice on the back of the neck helpful if I can catch it right as it is starting.

Ooo I'm gonna try that. I find that if I catch it early chocolate will be a huge help.

in reply to Pinkie56

Chocolate always helps no matter the problem! 😉
