Latest excuse

This is one of those rare times when the excuse is not an excuse, but is actually a legitimate reason.

My part of the world has been in the throes of the weather phenomenon known as a SantaAna condition.  For more info - google it.  Since I suffer from weather-related migraines, when the Santa Ana Winds blow, I start sucking down migraine meds like candy.

Such was this weekend last.  Add to that this achy--am I getting a cold--kind of feeling.  Monday - feeling not too good, but did my Nordic Trak routine anyway.  Could only get through 20 minutes of it before feeling REALLY sick.  Go to work, cuz ya know, that's what we women do, we carry on even tho' we may be dying and/or highly contagious.  Mid-morning -- definitely sick.  Fever, cold, sore throat, everything but tummy problems.  Took the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday off.

 Now, I don't know if it's feed a cold and starve a fever, or the other 'way round, but since I had both, I fed each of them, just to be on the safe side.  Apparently it has something to do with the women in my family because my mom and her mom were the same way.  Being sick = being hungry.  Or so my father informs me, adding that when he's sick, he has no interest in food.  I should be so lucky.

So after stew on Sunday, pizza on Monday and my daughter's favorite rice dish last night, I'm thankful to have such a SMALL weight gain.

I'm also thankful the blasted SantaAna is dying down, so my head can get back to normal.  Do NOT like this five-day-straight migraine nonsense.

Not sure when the morning Nordic Trak is going to resume.  Probably not till Friday.
