Talk to the Goat
Migranes are a bitch... glad you found the headspace to laugh too though...
Tomorrow's another day ... hope it's a good one...
Doesnt sound like fun. It's good that you can still laugh. I would have screamed. Hope your feel better. ps I had trouble with that Africa book too.
i've never suffered from migranes, my bf has then and disappears for days when they hit. i'm sure it's hard to find humour in things during your season, yet look what you managed to do.
That was one suck ass day, Jay! I was ready to find cheap tickets up there and help you find a rifle. Glad he got you to laugh in the end. Youre first statement was so true: it's just a season. It comes, it sucks, and it goes. It'll come again. Don't take it too seriously or it'll have you for dinner. And the rest of its meals.
I needed this post...to stop my own wallowing. Thanks Jay. Sorry, you were having a"day" as I call them.
Cold hands depress me too.
Sometimes we need someone else to give us some perspective. It would be easy and you would be completely justified in feeling like crap and wallowing and being miserable but in the end... it's more important and all about catching that fish, isn't it?
Rather, it's more important not to, cause it's all about catching that fish.
(Stupid missing words...)
If this wasn't a day from the pit of Hell, then I have never had a bad day! Geeze Jay, you poor thing. I am glad he got you to laugh, but..."mild depression" seems a little, well mild a description for this day.
I hope you are feeling better soon girlfriend. I'll say a prayer for relief from your migraines. (Can't hurt, right?)
You did get a very well written post out of it. (The bright side)
(((HUGS)))

Honey and turtles... Yee old fable.
[Or stuff not like anything that makes sense but may be entertaining in a fatigued state.]
I've had a couple migraines you cant do anything! this is recent for me
well it sounded like a good/bad day in the end
Fever with migraines? Are you sure? Sounds like flu.
You're right. Your day seriously sucked.
BTW, I used to build lame wooden toys with my grandfather. When he cut himself, he used to smear it on the toy and say he was painting it. Nice.
Poor you, sounds awful.
I can be a big Miss Crankypants too ;>)
the title of this post made me get that damned daniel powter song stuck in my head! grrr
Sorry you're sick, my friend. Migraines are a bitch.
But that was funny.
Migraines can turn anyone into a whining ball of misery. The back hole on top of that? God, girl! Go to the damn doctor!
Nothing like someone you love to laugh you out of a rough day. 
This is going to sound really stupid but I'm really not concerned about that... I also used to get migraines all of the time. Doc said it was stress. He persccribed Immitrex shots, which were the best thing in the whole entitre world. A few years later, I was interviewing a different doctor about women's health for a magazine article. He said that the majority of aches and pains, migraines included are caused by dehydration. I thought he was full of shit so I tested it out on myself. 60 oz. of water every day as he suggested. And you know what? I hardly ever get migraines now. It also made me eat less and I lost a couple of pounds. Water, who knew?
Anyhow, sorry to ramble. I hope today is a much better day for you.

I feel your migrane induced pain girl. I get the same type but mine are usually heat related. Look at it this way, once you hit the bathroom floor there is nowhere to go but up ... if you can build up enough inertia to flip onto your base. Ait'n turtle shells a bitch. LOL Have a great (better) day love.

Sorry about the migraines, they are never pleasant and always feel like death. Feel better!
I hope you are feeling much better. And, for the record, all men suck at care taking the sick and infirm.
They just suck at it. It's just one of those things you have to put up with if you are dumb (crazy?) enough to be with a man!!
I don't know if I have the heart to find mirth in your story, but since you did, I'll go ahead.
Who knew cold hands caused depression? God, it's so simple. Just wear gloves all the time and you're golden!
Hopefully you're a little better. Or at least well enough to smack Jason for not treating you better. I may be just a man, but if my Wife were in that shape, I'd be waiting on her (nearly) every whim and certainly wouldn't make fun of her until she felt better.
Hope you are feeling better.
BTW - I found you in BE and I tink you are a wonderful writer! I will be visiting often.
You made me put my fo-yo away! I felt so yicky right along with you that it seemed impossible to fill my mouth with it's choclate miny goodness. I'm sorry you had such a rough day and hope that you find yourself in better spirits soon
Oh sweet Jesus. Both my mom and my aunt suffer from migraines; I'm thankful that I didn't get them.
Instead I get tension/stress/for the fuck of it headaches.
Glad you're feeling better.
Holy crap, girl! What a day from Hell. And you managed to laugh at the end of it? Well, I guess Jason deserves some pie for that. Notice, I'm not specifying what kind of pie. . .
What a crappy day! I hope you are feeling better now. That sounds awful! Jasen is lucky to be alive!
Nothing like a loved one plus laughter to make you feel good.
My Best Friend the Water tap sounds dirty... (FILTHY MIND TODAY SORRY!!)
I'm sorry you had such a day but, I'm glad that you've got a sense of humour about it.
I came across your blog a couple of weeks ago and return almost daily to read it.
I love the way you see things.
It makes me HOWL!
I hope you are feeling better. And I am sure Jason is glad you don't own a rifle as well.
Christ - and that was Tuesday?
Mondays must be really awful?
Well the best sign of recovery is that you are able to laugh, and blog about it.
I am so glad you ended on a note in which you were laughing as I was feeling increasingly guilty of the giggles I was getting while reading about your misery and pain. Not that I'm a sadist or anything, you just make your torturous day sound so damned amusing!
poor Jamie! Hope you are feeling better now.
I dont know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but Miss Jay, your pain always brings me a smile! I laughed for like 5 minutes straight of the thought of you, laying on your back, helpless as a turtle! I know, I know! But a picture like that comes only once in a blue moon! You know? Ok, so now that I'm done making fun of your misfortune, how are you doing? Still sick? Hope you get better real soon.
Jay,
I sure hope you feel better. I know my migraines suck really bad. I don't know why, but I get those super hot and cold feelings quite often when I get them. I get so sick, and I actually pass out. My doctor tells me that this is the beginning of some kind of "super-migraine" which I have no idea what that means because I got the thing already. However I throw up, and do just about all that you described except I don't have that thing on your back, but you didn't have a brain tumor. I wonder if your hole had any type of effect on your spinal fluid?
Good that you can take a totally sucky mood/moment/day and turn it into such enjoyable reading. ESPECIALLY the part where he diagnosed you by gauging the temperature in your fingers.
BRILLIANT!
Yes, thanks, I am right on the mend. Migraine squirreled away for another day, back pain to a much lesser extent, thank god.
Doesn't anyone do anything interesting these days. Hemmingway used to wrestle with wild bears or something.
Yeah, panic attacks and migraines. Been there. "Oh what's become of my life!"
The worst panic attack I had was when I discovered my old college mate had turned into Jonathan Glazer (the director) - the f****** bastard!
Exercise. Seriously. I was ofered medication but instead I went for hour long walks every day.
And I stopped beating the crap out of myself, too.
Knowingly or unknowingly, your Jason is hilarious. LOL
I hope you are ok now.
Wow, that sounds terrible. I bet it's all connected, too...like a drop in pressure of your cerebrospinal fluid due to your "hole" leads to migraines....
