I woke up with a bad migraine today--the worst, and maybe the first I've had since November.  I made the mistake of not treating it aggressively at the beginning, and paid for it later when it didn't respond to the medication I did take.  Somehow I managed to get up, make breakfast and get lunch in the crockpot before it got unbearable.  Most of our morning lessons I conducted from a horizontal position on Belle's bed.  This morning I wasn't tired enough to be able to relax and just sleep it off.

It got better around lunchtime, and I managed to tackle some of our afternoon lessons, but I cut it short when the headache started to come back.  I did manage to get dinner in the oven before taking to the couch for the remainder of the afternoon.  Dinner now out of the way, and another dose of medication down, and I am coping for the moment--as long as I don't move my head suddenly.  I sincerely hope it is gone by tomorrow.

The children are very sympathetic to my plight, and of course didn't mind having more time to play today.  I am delighted with the fact that they can do more of their work semi-independently, just coming to me with questions.

Sometimes I wish I could just take a sick day and not worry about stuff piling up later in the week.  I felt I had to keep functioning for most of the day, because otherwise I'll be "behind" for the rest of the week.  I should feel fortunate because this isn't a busier week.

Here's to a better tomorrow!
