Hello.

Yesterday I had a mother of a migraine. Went to bed with it, and awoke with it at 6 am. Head throbbing in a warm room. After bringing Michael to work, I stopped at CVS looking a mess. It was still dark out. Migraine medicine was buy one, get one free with a CVS card. I grabbed two packages, and a bottle of water. At the counter, I held Alden on my hip as I struggled with my wallet, trying to find the CVS card without spilling a mess of receipts everywhere (I really need to empty it out). The card must have evaporated. The man at the counter sensed my desperation and gave me the discount anyway.

I haven't been able to take migraine medicine for the past two years due to pregnancy and breast feeding. Alden is still not fully weaned, but at this point, the medicine cannot hurt him. The migraines seem to be coming more regularly lately, so I'm grateful for this wonder of modern medicine.

In the car I took one pill, then went home and both Alden and I went back to bed. I awoke a couple hours later, and the migraine was magically gone. Sweet relief.

For the past few days, I've been getting the sense of fall. It must just be the light changing, because it is still so hot.

Michael starts school tomorrow. A 15 month trade program to be an electrician. We are moving forward.
