I'm skipping a family get-together today. And here's why:
1. It's hot and sunny. Neither is great for my head.
2. I'm in a bad cycle. I drank caffeine two days ago and am still paying for it. Nausea, dizziness, mood swings and my good buddy pain are unrelenting, despite medication. So, faking the funk for the sake of being social is pretty impossible right now.
3. We'd be taking public transportation. The car needs money that we don't have to be legal, so we've been borrowing cars, walking and bumming rides everywhere for the past few months. Today, none of those was possible and though public transportation is an option, it is often crowded, loud, and smelly. And there would be mandatory walking, which is no good in combination with points 1 and 2.
I can't help but feel guilty. I love my family. I miss them terribly. But I am exhausted.

- I'm blogging to rediscover my creative outlets. I write about my chronic migraines and take pictures to amuse myself and hone my skills.
About My Head
In the spring of 2007 I experienced a mild case of shingles around my torso. It arrived with a daily headache and an often daily migraine. The rash faded quickly and left no scars, but chronic migraines remain. I have been disabled since the fall of 2007.

I use trains and bus travel in Cleveland because when I go up there for specialist visits I can't afford the $40 cab ride or to rent a car. The walking and the humid heat and noise/smells can be a torture if The Headache decides it wants to play.
Wishing you were able to go to the get together and be able to enjoy it.
Good choice. I'm not trying to be facetious or anything; it's a good choice when you add it all up.
I miss my family too.
