Last Night of 2007

Well, here it is, the last evening of 2007! And what are you doing?

We decided to just stay at home & "veg" out this New Year's Eve. After all the hustle & hurry of "the storm" and Christmas, and all the rescheduled catering events that took place this Fri - Sun, we are POOPED!!! Just can't head out to one more place!!!

Saturday evening my sis & I catered an event about 40 minutes away. All went very well, but for the past 2 1/2 weeks I have had this horrid headache--a migraine that just would NOT stop. It would get a little more bearable, I'd sleep maybe 3 hours at one time, and on Saturday it just began to get progressively worse.

Now, I'm not one to go to the Dr. I grew up going each & every time I sneezed, (mom always worked for Drs), and I just HATE going. But sis insisted we stop by minor emergency on the way home. She said it was just stupid to try to live with this pain, and that maybe there was some infection there. Ok, I let her take me---the Dr was a bit surprised at the intensity I described, and also at the idea of dealing with this for the long term. After a lecture (during which my head was bursting) about getting blood work done & seeing my primary care DR, he finally got around to the good stuff!!! A shot in the hiney of pain med, some dissolving tabs for the onset of migraine, and an Rx for both pain & the migraine pills. He said I would begin to feel better within 20 minutes. So, on the way home, I was griping & groaning about how that didn't do any good, when LO & BEHOLD, the world became a much better place! That old pain shot began to sink in!!! Oh was I excited!!! I just kept telling sis, "I'm gonna sleep tonight--ALL NIGHT LONG!" You just can not imagine the thrill of that thought unless you have gone through this!!! I just smiled and smiled all the way home, I felt GOOD!!!!!

Well, next morning I got up, and whoops! Here comes the pain again! So I tried one of the "dissolving delights" and GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY!!!!! This stuff works!!! My headache is officially gone!!! I can't believe it took me this long to wake up & smell the roses!!!

So, today sis, niece & I headed for Edmond, and had a terrific lunch at a place named "501"---yummy to the tummy!!! It was super--we had dessert too!!!! Man that place was heaven!!! Then we shopped for a couple of hours. Spent some moolah!! Got a new purse, necklace, B & B hair products----needless to say, we had a super fantastic time!!!

And so, blogger friends, I wish for you a restful, peaceful New Year. Make it great in 08---(OMG that is sooooooo cheesy!!!!). Hugs to you all---I look forward to developing the new friendships I have made on this cyber town, and to meeting new friends!!! Have a terrific week!
