Around here …

The weather this week has been summery. I guess this is our last bout of warm weather before colder weather sets in. I’ve even been able to eat my post-run breakfasts outside.


We finished two 1500-piece puzzles.


I had a couple of migraines earlier this week which is about a month after my last cluster. I have stopped having periods because of my Mirena but clearly my cycle is in a regular patch again. March and April I got a cluster of migraines around the 20th. I also got a single migraine midcycle which sometimes happens. I started tracking the migraines again in March so we’ll see how it goes. I’m wondering when this will end—I’m too old to still be dealing with this.

Some good things:

  • G bringing a yummy pastry home for me after his run
  • The kids all over for family dinner on Monday
  • Frozen berries—so convenient for breakfast, plus I don’t need to worry about them going mushy
  • A trip to the Osteo who freed up my back and neck
  • My parents safely returned from a fantastic trip to Japan
  • A lift newly installed at my parents place. Should make things easier for them, especially as time goes on.
  • My indoor plants

How’s have things been where you are?

  1. Ohhhhh my friend. I’m sorry about your migraines. I am battling massive perimenopausal symptoms right now (and have for the past *counts* twelve days). I don’t get migraines but I have had this racing heart rate and elevated RHR and it feels really unsettling.
