Weekend Blues

So I've had better weekends. As can be surmised from my previous post, I managed to electrocute myself. Not badly, though. It didn't even really hurt... was just an extremely odd sensation. And alarming... convinced me to wait to flip over the outlets (I was tired of not being able to use upward facing nightlights... I have no idea why every single outlet in my duplex was installed upside down) until morning (with daylight to work by) to retry, utilizing the correct procedures (ie: shutting off the power... duh).

And as I also indicated in my previous post... my head had something to say about the short burst of electricity that coursed through the left side of my body. I'd been fighting nausiating migraines for about a week by that point, anyway, so it didn't need much nudging.

Didn't get much done in the way of my database, as I'd hoped. In fact, I didn't get on my computer once. I ended up missing a day and a half of work last week, and I still couldn't put a single minute of it to good use. I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but sometimes I really, really, really wish I could just chop my head off. *sigh*

But... Mom asked me on Saturday to help her pick out custom framing for some more of her prints, which I was happy to do. She does so much for me, and I'm glad I have something I'm good at (and enjoy) to help her with when she asks. Then we rushed a quick trip through Hobby Lobby before I had to pick up Gram for her appt. I think my head might have stood a better chance through the day if it hadn't been so hot out. It doesn't handle heat very well at ALL.

So I popped a probably inadvisable amount of pills both Saturday and Sunday, and I cried off of Sunday dinner. Which the folks then cancelled altogether cuz Pop wasn't feeling so well, either. So i didn't feel TOO bad for messin things up. Of course, the upside of cancelling dinner was that Mom and I could watch our Sunday night shows.

Unfortunately, however, my cable went out (yet again) Friday night, so I was unable to watch OR record the two sets of shows I try to keep track of on Friday nights. Mom recorded the first two hours of our Sci Fi shows (Season Premieres), so we were able to watch those, but I'm now trying to find additional airings of my Friday USA shows. Inconveniences, inconveniences.

But... things are definately looking up... at least in the pain department. After so much concentrated medications in my system, I was pretty out of it yesterday at work. But as they wore off through the day, the pain didn't come back (at least not full force) so I didn't need to take more. And today I'm actually almost back to feeling normal. I can still feel the miraine lurking in the shadows, so it's not banished altogether. But lurking is vastly preferable to full blown attack, so I'll take what I can get. :)

And work is definately picking up again... lulls are few and far between these days. So all is well. In fact, I'd best get back to it.

Until next time...
