Percoset is my friend

So the last few weeks have been stressful and I though my mind was reaching a breaking point when I couldn't stand to read something for longer than about 5 seconds last week.

I was right. The migrane hit yesterday while I was in Auburn. So I did what I could to keep motions to a minimum so my blood pressure wouldn't go up and make it worse and I made it the 2.5 hours home. I called the husband to emphatically inform him of his need to be home soon after I arrived.

It wasn't horribly later after I got home that he did, which was nice. I crashed after one percoset and nursing the beast to sleep and the hubby took her so I could get some sleep. Once she was done eating later in the evening and had her bath I downed another 2 percoset with some milk (still didn't make the nasuea any less, unfortunately) fed the baby again and faded away into a percoset haze.

I seem to sleep pretty decently with the percoset, but not nearly as well as with the Relpax. That may be one of the best benefits of ending the nursing later in the year - I can have my sweet migrane drugs back. I never have better sleep than after taking a Relpax. Maybe they should use that as an off-label use.

Elena hasn't been eating as well as she had over the weekend, but I think it's getting better again. I've found the easiest way to get her to down the rice cereal and meet one of the solid food requirements is to mix the cereal with the YoBaby yogurt. She just sucks it down like candy.

Once that's down she only has to eat another 4-6 oz of solid food the rest of the day. That's pretty easy to do on a good day.

It's been a long week at work. I had to be on the road by 6 Tuesday and I have to be on the road by 5 tomorrow morning. This headache better be gone by tomorrow or I will have to resort to a Relpax and pump and dump for 12 hours. After 3 days of a headache my milk isn't golden anymore.

So our Christmas tree is still up and decorated. Before yall gripe at me for that, just know that when our basement flooded because of the stupid sprinkler people the box for our NINE footer tree got soaked and now has mold on it. So, I have to figure out what kind of tupperware tub to put the pieces in and exactly how many it will take to pack it away. Until then, it'll stay up waiting to be packed away.

It does irritate me a bit that it's still up, but what can a girl do when she's trying to afford a new furnace purchase for the next 6 months.
