Weekend Update
Okay, so PMS and migraine hit last week and by Thursday I was cussing under my breath, throwing plates at the anger altar, and wondering WHAT ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING IN MY HOUSE?! It’s been a hard week and week-end with a lot of pain, meds, and foggy headedness. Saturday we spent way too much money going to see Pirates of the Caribean III, which was totally disppointed followed by a long day Sunday doing absolutely nothing — just hanging around the house all the grey day, watching bad television and putting all of our CD’s on my Zune. Today is Memorial Day and a third blessed weekend-day when the sun finally broke though! In spite of the ongoing migraine, I put my dog on his leash and walked to my studio. I was grumpy enough to intentionally avoid the sweet developmentally disabled seniors who live in the group home between my house and my studio (they love Sam, Sam doesn’t love them), but shored-up enough by Paul’s willingness to let me spend most of the day away from the kiddos that I got my butt in gear in time to spend 5 blissful hours snipping and transfering and generally making a wonderful mess at my drafting table. I added several pages to the Summertime zine, including this one which confirms that yes, inspite of PMS and patriarchy, I enjoy being a girl. Hope it brings you a smile today.
P.s. A very BIG thank you to my long suffering spouse for his unwavering belief that I should “get thee to thy studio.” Your right Paul, I always DO feel better after I’ve been in the studio!
Much Love and Whimsy,
Rachelle

Hugs on the migraine. Commiserating with you, I’m headed into day 5. “Technically,” I’m supposed to be on an IV pump by now. But serious sleep deprivation is my major contributing factor, bigger than the PMS hormonal triggers at the moment. I’m still Imitrexing away. If the headaches still present and accounted for after tomorrow’s sleep fest, I’ll have to call the neuro and go the next step. I just want to give honest sleep a fighting chance. (Though, if the pain goes up from 7, I won’t be able to sleep through it :( )
I love your studio…it’s beautiful! What a blessed place of retreat for you! I’m so glad that some time there was a boost you needed. And kudos to the speical person who encouraged you to follow through and go! What a sweetie! BTW, those zine pages look magnificent! Can’t wait to see the final product! :D
Have a Tremendously amazing Tuesday!!! –K
karla,
oh, i know! the lack of sleep makes it SO much worse. my g.p. finally gave me a small RX of ambien so i could get a few decent nights sleep. i’m trying not to use the relpax (my version of immitrex) to often b/c i’m so damn susceptable to rebound from the vasoconstrictors. tonight i go to cranio, with much anxious hope.
may you feel better this morning!
