I have spent the last 4 days with a migrane that will not go away.  I use to could get them undercontrol with Zomig but it helps for a few hours and then back again.  I just have to lay in a dark room with an ice pack on my neck.  It is so depressing knowing spring has sprung and I can't even go into my garden.  I just get so nauseated from the headaches.  I have tried every kind of med for prevention to rescue meds.  Nothing has worked for me.  Chemo really increased the frequency and intensity of them.

I going to see if these migranes come again during this time next month and start charting them.

Phil and I went to Salado this week for two nights.  It is a great small town at the entrance to the TX hillcounty.  I swear on Monday I did not think I could muster up the energy to do even a short trip.  I finally convinced my self that I owed it to him and myself to get out and do something fun.

We had great weather.  It was breezy and warm.  We did some light shopping at all the cute place there in town.  I found many inspirational items to try when I craft and sew.  We took many breaks and sat and enjoyed the sunshine together on park benches.  We had great room at a brand new holiday inn.  I was surprised by how nice it was.  We usually go for a cabin or such.  After shopping we went and ate lunch at the StageCoach Inn.  It was so fun and delicious.  The waitresses recite the menu like they have since 1860.  Our waitress had been working there a mere 47 years.  The food was really good and my peach cobbler was fantastic.  I wish I would have just ordered that.  Phil and I got to visit and just enjoy being with each other out of the house and away from stress.

This trip has really taught me a good lessen.  I now know that I feel so much better when I take a chance and get out of the day to day rut of being in my home.  We have decided to go on another trip to the Alabama coast in the summer.  I just can't wait.
