Friday is Finally Here

It seemed like Friday would never get here this week.  The first week back after a long break is always difficult, and this was no exception.  I made it through though.

I was sick at the beginning part of the week, which made it even less fun.  I was sick enough to miss a day of work on Tuesday.  I’m much, much better now and feeling back to myself.

I think that I have an allergy or something to almonds.  I’ve been getting horrible migraines all week.  The start about halfway through the day and carry on until I go to bed.  Today I was sitting here eating a small handful of almonds at about 10:30, and I noticed that my head was starting to hurt.  I thought back to the other days this week, and my headache started immediately following the almonds on those days too.  When I stayed home on Tuesday I didn’t have a headache at all, and also didn’t have almonds.  It’s annoying, because almonds are a good source of a healthy oil, but my head is absolutely killing me. 

I’ve spent the evenings trying to edit all of my NaNo work, as well as two of my other stories.  I’m going to get proof copies of all of them via the self-publishing site.  I’ve decided that I’m going to put at least two of them up on Amazon as well.  It was a decision that I struggled to make, but I think it’s worth a shot.  You’ll notice that I removed the NaNo section of this website, and if you’re really observant you’ll note that I took down the story ‘Guilty’ and also ‘Moments’.  Hopefully I’ll get all of them ready to be up for sale by Spring.  I’ll likely only do two at first.  I know that it will probably only be family and close friends buying, but it’ll still be neat to say that I sold a book. 

Jake has a scheduled outage tonight, so I won’t see him until tomorrow afternoon.  I’m planning to have a veggie burger for dinner tonight, and am pretty excited about it.  I have these amazing chips too, that I think I’ll eat with it.  Mmmm.

    what kind of chips?
    The almonds could very possibly cause the headaches. Just try different kind of nuts, brazil, cashews, walnuts, they are all good sources of protein. try macadamia nuts, I really like them. Glad you are feeling better. Love and miss you both.

    It may not be an allergy, so much as a migraine trigger… I have several and one of mine (I discovered) is dark chocolate. Not too long after I eat any I get a killer migraine, that makes me nauseous and the whole nine yards! I’m sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well this week…! It’s a rotten week (filled with LOTS of stuff for us school peeps) to feel ill in any way! Hopefully next week will be better!
