Has anyone got a remote control that could fast forward this week, please? It's turning out to be...eventful! And it's only Tuesday!!
On Sunday I started getting a migraine, but it was only fairly minor and was under control with over the counter painkillers. By Sunday evening it had pretty much gone away, but yesterday morning it was back, and being stubborn. Several doses of Cocodamol later I was drowsy, still had a headache (though I could still function - just about) and had developed back ache to boot. Then the student loans company sent hubby a letter saying we hadn't provided enough evidence to accompany his grant application (for last academic year!), yet we had sent everything they needed to them the academic year before last and they had just been too lazy to look in their electronic file. Cue half an hour on the phone, and having to write yet another letter explaining that to them. This, of course, did nothing for my migraine, and even though I dropped off to sleep easily I was awake at 2am with a full-blown attack, and groping for my prescription meds as I knew another dose of Cocodamol wasn't going to cut the mustard.
Thankfully this morning the migraine has gone (touch wood), but I have woken up half deaf in my left ear, which is also whistling incessantly. Whether this is as a result of the migraine I don't know. Thankfully I'm not prone to health anxiety, so I'm not too worried and am sure it will sort itself out eventually (if it's not gone by Thursday I'm due to go for a curry with friends, so will order a spicy one to clear my sinuses right out!!)
I've been to the post office today to post the letter to the student loans co, and was very annoyed to experience a very definite wave of panic whilst in the queue. I thought I was over this panicking during everyday activities thing and moving on to bigger challenges :mad:
Perhaps it's my mind's way of paying me back for being so busy with the migraine yesterday that I entirely forgot to feel anxious...
Anyway, to top it off, it's my birthday on Friday and I had decided to take the plunge and go out to a particular restaurant for dinner with my family that evening. I know the restaurant, so I felt comfortable booking there. As it turns out though, because I'm sharing my birthday with Pudsey bear this year the restaurant are having all sorts of fundraising events that evening (quizzes, facepainting etc.) so my plans for a birthday meal are scuppered because I don't feel comfortable going to that restaurant if there are going to be all sorts of unusual things happening/loud noises/excitable children etc.
So, this week is going: migraine, frustration, deafness, panic, frustration, anxiety about curry night, spend birthday alone, no birthday meal, weekend.
Incidentally, there is no point to this post other than for me to vent, so thank-you for listening, and goodnight (as they say) :winks:
