I had coffee with Lloyd again this morning at a ridiculously early time - he says I seemed a little more awake this morning. I was able to keep my eyelids open more....it wasn't quite such a struggle. Because of this Lloyd feels it might be a good idea for us to make this a regular thing. 6:15am coffee appointments together. Hhmmm maybe not tomorrow. I'm thinking tomorrow I'd like to sleep in. Sorry Baby.
It was so foggy AGAIN this morning that I almost decided to forget my plans and stay in bed! The fog cleared though and we were able to head out for our day.
We left earlier than normal today because we called round to a car place in town and picked Val up - her car was having something done to it - the windscreen or something maybe???? Anyway...we picked her up and she spent much of the day with us, experiencing our Tuesday!!!
We headed to Abigails art class, dropped her off - she spent the morning making collaged art journals. This weeks class didn't cover one specific artist - but various different artists - including several who made art out of garbage and recycled items.
While Abigail was at art, we headed to McD's for breakfast, where we were able to enjoy the highlights of last nights ice dance finals again (Go Canada) and Sam was able to get another Olympics toy with his breakfast meal.
After breakfast we headed to the thrift store and had great fun looking for bargains - I love looking for items I can alter and also containers that will look good in my craft room. I also found the sweetest bird house that looks wonderful on my kitchen window at the moment.
Back to pick Abigail up from art...headed to the mall....Val ran off to get me some migraine meds (thank you) and I got the children some lunch. Then Chapters....then Safeway.....but all of this done slowly with a LOT of chat......so it took much of the day. Then Vals car was ready so we dropped her back there and said goodbye and we headed home.
By this time my migraine was bad so I took migraine meds (that I didn't have with me despite Lloyd reminding me constantly to check I have them in my bag - I just had empty packets). I managed to run the vacuum round and tidy the kitchen etc and then I collapsed in my chair.
Susannah and Laurence came home and looked after me - they looked after Abigail and Sam too - Susannah baked and they just take over and make sure everything runs smoothly!!
Lloyd and Chris aren't home until late tonight - Lloyd's friend/ colleague is getting married so Lloyd is out at the bachelor party/ night out tonight. Chris is downtown with friends until Lloyd picks him up.
My migraine is fine now - just have the side effects of the medication....which leaves me exhausted and I hurt all over.....but it's still much better than a migraine.
I'm thinking the migraine is related to the weather system thats coming in with this Westerly flow or whatever thats bringing the warmer weather. It's been a bad Winter for migraines. It's been a GREAT Winter....BUT - it's been a bad Winter for migraines......
I love that this chair is in my craft room and I can do things from here - I have my laptop, I have my table here....I can paint or knit, read, write.......sleep ;)
Sooooo looking forward to tomorrow. A nothing day. A DO NOT DISTURB day :)
