Good morning all!
I live in Kansas City so am in tornado alley myself. We haven't had a big one in many, many years. The last serious outbreak we have had since I lived here was in 2003 a month before my wedding. NOTHING compared to the Joplin one a couple of years ago or this in OK! I do, however, now live in the neighborhood that was hit in 2003!
Natasha, have you ever been on topomax yet? I was on it for migraines too. It really messes with your memory, which is a common side affect. I couldn't even put a sentence together because I couldn't remember words! It is supposed to help with weight loss though. I figured out on my own after thousands of dollars that mostly my headaches are tension and have my husband do what is called "stripping" my muscles in my neck. The massage is pretty painful but only lasts a few minutes. I rarely get migraines now. I kept telling the neurologist that I didn't think they started as migraines. I had debilitating headaches every day for almost a year. I went online and researched myself after none of the preventatives were working for me. I keep a script of Imitrex and that is it now. Thank the Lord.
I am retaining water like crazy. I really need to drink lots of water today. My fingers are so swollen I cant get rings off and they are almost painful! I can honestly say that I am very excited and happy I am doing this again. I know it is more work than throwing frozen entrees in the microwave or hamburger helper but during dinner last night I was just thinking what a great meal it was and hadn't thought that in a long time. Even my littlest twin was eating salad! I do let them have ranch and my husband does too but I stuck to a low sugar Italian. We had salad with toppings of your choice, including onion, mushroom, radishes and cucumber. My husband grilled a couple of steaks, and every time he does I swear I am not letting him again, a grill cook or any other kind of cook he is not. He needs to stick to pancakes and fried eggs! LOL! I also made steamed broccoli.
Tonight we are having chef salad and I am going to use an artichoke dressing on mine that I haven't used in years.
We had a huge yard sale this past weekend and I got behind on regular housework plus I am still cleaning up the leftovers to put back in the basement. I am also going to work on cleaning out my office/craft room so I can actually do some crafts in there. It was becoming the catch all for yard sale stuff.
Going to make an omelet. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
