the_rckAll our plans for Cordelia for today have fallen through. She's not pleased about it. She keeps trying to kick me out of the living room so that she can be alone. I did get her to make brownies from a mix. I helped a bit with the parts she didn't know how to do, but I tried to keep it to telling her what to do rather than doing it for her. The brownies smell good, but it remains to be seen how they'll come out.
Scott is going to have to run two Science Olympiad practices this weekend. The fourth graders will meet on Saturday, and the second graders will meet on Sunday. In a way, it's good. The second graders haven't had a practice before, so they're way behind the fourth graders. The parents have suggested that a weeknight practice might be better than a weekend practice. It remains to be seen if Scott can work out a night when everyone can come.
I put stevia in my coffee this morning. Part of me was really reluctant to do it, but I need to experiment and see if the headache comes back. My doctor did call in the naratriptan prescription, so I can deal with it if the migraine comes back. I did notice, while I had the headache, that it was worse while I was at home. It got better when I left the house, not entirely, but better. I don't know if it was that I was too busy to think about it or if the distraction decreases my tension somehow (which would be weird since I'm agoraphobic. Leaving the house ratchets up my stress). It feels kind of like the headache is dangerous-- I can safely acknowledge it when I'm home but can't afford it when I'm out. It may simply be that right before going out, I'm likely to hit the headache with every remedy I can.

Date: 2014-03-22 11:34 pm (UTC)I had problems for a couple weeks when we got a new stove once, because of the off gassing of chemicals. When I got the new furnace last fall I ran it with the windows open (despite the freezing weather) really high for a couple hours to try and clear off the worst of it and still felt like yuck for a few more days.

Date: 2014-03-23 01:22 am (UTC)I doubt it the electric blanket. I only run it for an hour or two, just before I go to bed. I turn it off when I go to bed because I'd overheat otherwise (and because Scott would be likely to trip over the cord if I kept it plugged in).
The days I've had headaches, they've started about five in the morning and then gotten worse over the course of the morning.
