Driving through the Fog

Friday I had my first migraine in 3 weeks, I had almost gotten used to normal. This one came with one hell of a fog. That thick fog that makes it impossible to even remember who you are, what you are doing, or how to get to where you are going. I was going to the library, one that I have frequented sense I was 10 years old. In the thick haze I couldn't remember the street names, at one point I couldn't remember who had the right of way.

Sometimes I wonder I should have to take a clarity test to leave the house in the morning, but the sad thing is I never know when it is creeping up. I know without my mom in the car I may not have made it to the library that day. Any other day I can get there from any location, but in that fog I can't do much. It is really weird when I can't place words....that is when I really feel stupid.

There is one great thing about this. Some days, not all, I have a clear concise reason for for my stupid mistakes or antics.

Veganism

So it has been three weeks, since I have become a vegan. I have to say it has been really easy. I didn't really eat meat all that much, or dairy products. I think the only thing that I have really sacrificed is cheese. I do miss it some times but only because it is just easy. It is a little hard with picking stuff out at a restaurant, but not that hard.

The real surprise has been the energy. Since I did a lot of reading and research before making the switch I am very careful about nutrition, so I probably get more nutrients now than when I was an omnivore. I am super energized all the time like my body is running on all cylinders. I also started taking feverfew for my migraines. I don't know if it is the diet or the feverfew, but I am pain free.

This is a revelation. I haven't been this happy in a while. I have started to go to the gym because I feel like I did before the migraines started. I am praying for this to continue, but cautiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know I shouldn't do that, but after all these years of pain it seems inevitable that it will happen. Fingers crossed!!!

New Options!!!

Today I applied for a position at the Board of Ed, of Financial Accounting Coordinator. I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one. I think it might be a really good fit for me.

I also applied for a position at the IRS. I just think this is funny, I can be a reviled IRS auditor.

I don't think the unemployment insurance is going to pan out thanks to my good friends at HSA. They really seem to love to sabotage their former employees. It is a shame, but I am really learning here that letting go of things is the way to go. Life would be much easier if others would do the same though.

CBC says that my life is like the movie "Hope Floats" right now. I hope so because I would love a happy ending. I guess I need a little positivity.
