Ewww.... today totally sucked and so did yesterday. We don't know why I got them but I did. Migraines. I think it was my body telling me to calm down and sleep for once. Between two band concerts this week and CRT testing and the AP test my system just needed a rest for once. Mom came and picked me up from school yesterday after band class (which didn't help the whole migraine thing.) and then I went home and literally crashed out on the couch for like five hours almost straight. Mom had to go back to work, at like 1 but I barely even remember her leaving I was so out of it. When she came home after her shift was over we went to the library for me to return books and movies and for me to get new ones. (Which after a whole day of staying home, I've already watched and read all the way through.) Then she bribed me (with good Mexican food) to go to Savers with her. Which I had done not two days earlier with my brother Alex. (By the way, that was awesome, and so were those Slurpees)
Anyways, I woke up this morning and my head was still pounding from yesterday, so I didn't go to school. I got up long enough to tell mom I wasn't going to school, to tell my ride I wasn't going to school, and drug myself. Then went back to sleep until almost noon. I watched a lot of TV and read a whole 200 page book and I think I had another nap. Mom also called my band director and told him I was sick and wasn't going to be able to play in the concert tonight. That was nice. One less stressor on my shoulders.(All though I still have one on Thursday.) And now he is going to make me make it up. I'm sure its going to be some lame essay or playing in front of him, just to torture me.
For those who don't really know me that well when I get migraines, they hit suddenly with full force. I can't see, they hurt, I'm dizzy, usually can't feel half my body because it has gone numb, and my body just shuts down. The second my head hits a pillow once I get one, I am asleep for at least three hours. And usually once I've slept for a few hours its gone. I've been getting them since I was in the first grade. Not only that but I cluster. That means I get like three in one week. Usually they are consecutive, so let's hope I don't have another one tomorrow.!
