The Weekend

[jadecat]

The Weekend was good, mostly. ;) woke up Saturday, intending to hit the RH sale. Sadly there was a lot more snow on the ground than had been expected, AND I had a lovely migraine. :( However, rallied, and after a nap, felt almost human. The thing with me and migraines, that I do want to explain, because I don't think I ever have; most of the time I have a headache on some level, usually quite mild (and yes, I am seeing a doc about this). There are days that I don't have one- these are good days. :) When I get a really bad migraine and take meds- it's not the pain of the headache that prevents me from doing things, it's the mental/body weariness I feel once the meds have taken hold. Generally I manage to go out and do even with a headache, because if I didn't, I would never get to do anything. So know that if I do cancel something because of a migraine it's either really, really bad and I have no meds, or I know that I just won't have any energy after taking meds, but at least I won't be in pain. If I catch things soon enough I can manage to take meds and still go out and do, because my energy levels don't get so low. Just so you know.

Anyway, back to the weekend. Had a lovely Valentine's Day with the hubby. We were smart- instead of trying to actually eat AT Olive Garden- we called for take away. We had an excellent good meal (with easy cleanup!), in the comfort of our home, and didn't have to stand in their lobby for hours waiting for a table.

Sunday was kind of lazy. However, we are getting the new couch on Wednesday- and hubby works tonight and tomorrow. This meant that yesterday was the best day to get rid of the old couch, because both of us would be there. So we managed to get the couch out of the apartment without killing each other OR the door. :) Getting it downstairs was easy enough- as husband was good enough to make use of the assistance gravity provided. Plus, it really helps that we didn't care what the couch looked like when we were done. Since the sidewalks were snowy/icy, it was quite easy to just push it along. one of our neighbors was just coming home from somewhere, and he gave us a hand. :) Very nice guy with a cute, though not friendly, dog.

The living room was rearranged somewhat so we have seating for the next couple of days. We stole the cat's chairs for our use. ;) Hubby has a blue lazy boy type chair, and I have an eons old lazy boy type chair that's been Sasha's since I got her! (Hey Sis, if you're reading this, any idea how old that chair is?) The animals were all locked up for the duration of the moving, and were MOST confused to see the new arrangement. Sasha was Not Pleased! She told me so. She did get her exercise jumping from my lap to hubby's, since she could no longer just walk across us. Leo decided he just didn't care so much. Kyle adjusted quickly, deciding the pillows now on the ground were for his use...

Now we just need the new couch in! *laughs* While I like the two "easy chair" set up, I prefer a couch. Makes snuggling with my sweetie easier. :)


And lastly, dragons.

I get migraines, too. So, no explanation needed here. My condolences on you getting them, though. I wouldn't wish my average migraine on my worst childhood enemy! (there were plenty of vile things I did wish on him, though *wink*)

Clicks to all the draggies & the egg. Tell Sasha to just get over it! You are the queen of the house, not the fur-ball! LOL!

(Oh, and we have 2 fur-balls here, that both act like they rule the roost, too).

Heh, you've obviously never met HRH Sasha...

It occurred to me that people who don't get migraines (lucky bastards!) might not really understand. So for them, I explain.

chair

[(Anonymous)]

Well...I got the chair when I taught school in Saginaw from a fellow teacher who was replacing it. I remember having it at FoxGlen - so between 12 and 13 years ago. But I do not remember how long the other teacher had it before giving it up say 3 years. She was getting a more comfortable chair for after knee surgery. Thus, I estimate the chair to be at least 16 years old.....

Huh, I thought you got the chair when you were at MSU (the first time. ;) ). So the chair is younger than I thought. Neat. *laughs*

Gah, so sorry about that migraine. I had one as well this weekend. Do you get them often? I ask because I don't get them often at all, so when they happen it really throws me off for a few days afterwards.

Also, good hunting on dragcave. I still haven't gotten the one with the rock description yet though I've seen them on the abandoned page.

I had to breed two of my rocks together to get the Geode...

The abandoned rocks are likely the results of breeding, from what I understand the cave isn't dropping them.

I'm bummed I didn't get a Valentine. :(

As for Migraines... does once a week or so count as often? ;)

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

one a week? gah, I can't even imagine that. : (

As long as I have the Good Drugs, I'm okay. and like I said, for the most part it doesn't stop me from doing. I'm lucky in that I don't get terribly light sensitive when I have a migraine.

Plus I know some people are in worse pain on a daily basis. Which stinks. Pain control is not something that's handled well here.

Clicked.

Thanks! :)

Olive Garden...yum!

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

Is yummy, yes. :) I know it's not "real" Italian food, but is most tasty fake Italian. ;)

You stole the cats' chairs for yourselves? OMG! How cruel! I bet they called up the SPCA right away.
I'm sure they'll steal them right back anyway.

I agree on the couch being better than two chairs. We miss our couch for cuddling. Now we have to use Luna's couch and it becomes a crowded cuddling. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just sometimes you want some privacy.

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, they have pretty much reclaimed them. I've tried to explain that it's only temporary. But you know cats and their 'live in the moment' mentality. ;) Later just isn't important.

Oh yeah, sometimes privacy is for the best. ;)
