Hunting Bats

It’s day of event! I’m excited and nervous and the butterflies that I had early this morning have turned into bats. My stomach has been rumbling and grumbling…it sounds like an alien baby is trying to escape. Ergh!! It’s early afternoon and I have a little less than three hours before I leave work. Today is a day to throw myself into a project to focus on something other than my nerves. But alas, my high adrenaline won’t allow for concentrated effort.

After the Heart concert, I’ve been on the hunt for killer rocker women and I came across this group: Halestorm. Lead singer Lzzy has a twisty voice and I also have a soft spot for redheads (dammit*). This song is a fast, screaming, shredding rock song. LOVE IT!!

Enjoy beotches!!

It’s a brisk October day and I like the feel of the cold breeze on me.

This weekend I watched my younger sister Vick run a half-marathon in Staten Island. She ran 13.1 miles in 2 hours 12 minutes (official time). Hoo-Rah!! She was up by 4 am getting ready for her race and I followed soon after by getting up at 4:30 am.

The day was cold and by the time she finished it had started to rain.

And with the rain came a full blown migraine on me. Ergh! It just sucked! I’d been doing so well managing these migraines. I’ve only had mild ones lately, the kind where I can still function. With the new healthy diet, losing weight and the vitamins I’ve been taking…I thought they were FINALLY starting to subside. But this migraine laid me out. We arrived back at the apartment by 2 pm and all I could do was go to my room, draw the shades and sleep. I was back to the nausea, light sensitivity and the right side of my brain on fire. *sigh *

Today, the cold outside feels good but I feel sluggish and low energy with the remnants of a mild migraine. I am trying not to sink into my usual pity party. It’s difficult not to when dealing with a long term health issue. Anyway, it’s time to get my day started.

Today I’m listening to Blue October. Love the raspy voice of lead singer Justin Furstenfeld. I’m putting up a 2011 video, THE FEEL AGAIN (STAY)

It’s a Blue October day.  Peace, L~
