08/15/2001 Entry: "8/15 Morning"

I haven't done much web work in the past few days as we've been doing some small odd jobs around the house. Yesterday we put up a ceiling fan in our bedroom, what a pain in the butt! We have a drop ceiling in there so it was quite the process to get the ceiling fan installed properly with the proper support etc. It took us much longer than anticipated. We had originally gone to the store to buy some new floor tiles (quick fix) for our yucky upstairs bathroom, and we came home with a new 12x12 area rug for our bedroom (the old one was tan), new country blue carpeting for our stairs and landing, floor tile for our bathroom, and some paint. So we got the ceiling fan installed, got the new carpet in the bedroom, and did the first coat of a dark green in our bathroom. We are painting the bottom half dark green and rag rolling an opal translucent glaze on top. We are so pleased with the results so far and can't wait for it to be done. Then we are going to work on our kitchen. Eventually, we'd like to completely remodel the upstairs bathroom, but for now we are trying to get it livable.

Saturday we went to another surprise birthday party for one of Shawn's friends. I hadn't seen him since 1994 or so. We had a good time but stayed out much later than we intended, and then we had a 1 1/2 hour drive home.

I had a headache most of Sunday and then on Monday also. I originally thought it was a hangover headache, but by Monday I knew it was one of my migraines. I've been getting those almost every month, and they last for 3 days though this 1 only lasted 2 days. I've been to the doctor and was told they are hormonal related migraines, and there is nothing I can do to prevent them. Though I'm thinking of calling the doctor again to see if switching my birth control pill would help. So I didn't get anything done on Sunday and worked all day Monday in mom's store with the headache.

It has cooled off considerably, finally! It's 60 right now, and I'm in heaven. I love this weather! It's supposed to be in the 70's for most of this week and weekend.

Next Friday is our 1 year anniversary. Shawn and I are going away for the weekend but not sure where yet. I'm really looking forward to it!

Well, I'm going to do some housework, laundry, and run errands. I'll write more later.

Going to nag you: I used to get migraines too. Mine disappeared when I quit smoking. They were also worse when I was on the pill.

You know, I got them all the time though during the 4 months I quit smoking too so I know that won't help. I do think it's the pill and unfortunately I need to be on it for my heavy periods. I'm actually looking forward to the day I'm old enough for a hysterectomy so I don't need the pill anymore.

I had hormonal migraines even when I wasn't on the pill Leah, I found excederin migraine were really good to knock them over. Like clockwork I would get 2 a month.

There is one way to get rid of them...get pregnant! That worked for me, unfortunately I bet you only get a 9 month reprieve.
