Ocular Migraines

It's 6:22am, and I am having an ocular migraine.

Usually I get one of these every six to nine months. There's none of the pain usually associated with the word 'migraine.' I get clear-bendy stuff in my field of vision. I can still see, but it's like there's light or thin water flowing through parts of what I see, or between myself and what I'm looking at.

Strong headache medicine and more water usually helps.

The thing is, I also got one of these on Friday afternoon.

Which means that a) I seriously need to hydrate more, and b) maybe it's job-related. Not physical work related, but emotional-spiritual. I don't usually diagnose physical ailments that way, but my resistance to and resentment of my job is on an build-up cycle again. (I won't even go into the dream I had last night.)

Must go take a shower now. And have a big glass of water. That should help. Hopefully this will clear before it's time to actually leave for work.


I have a place I can call to use for appointments for my practice.

I have a design for a one-page flier.

I need to go over it again and make sure I like it, make any minor tweaks it needs, and get it out into circulation by taking it to bookstores, the co-op, bulletin boards in spirituality centers, and emailing to friends for them to share.

Nothing is going to change in my life unless I make it happen.

Simple as that.

I had one of these on Friday, as well (one of the contributing factors to me changing my plans over the weekend). Take care of yourself!

I didn't realize you got these too. . .

Hope you're feeling better, and that you got the work done that you were planning. Keep me posted!
