Migraine Musings

• I get migraine headaches if I don't get enough sleep. When I remember to eat a banana the morning after a bad night, though, I usually escape the headache.

• I forgot to eat a banana today.

• As recorded elsewhere, I don't think well during and after a headache. I called Darren on his way home from work to tell him that supper wasn't going to be made. He volunteered to bring something home. "Thanks," I said. "In my current state of mind, I'm likely to serve something like fried cucumbers."

• You laugh? Well. Darren briefly left his newspaper on the porch this afternoon. I wanted to keep it from blowing away. My addled mind completely overlooked the fact that our flowerbed is filled with little rocks, a handful of which would do the trick. Instead, I found myself thinking, "If I spray water on the paper, it won't blow away..." (No, Sarah M, I didn't.)

• The reason I didn't get enough sleep was because Darren and I stayed up too late talking. I'd do it all over again, too.

• Except that next time I'll eat a banana.
