Some things are worth celebrating. People love to crow about
birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and other special occasions.
Me? Today I feel like throwing a party. This is the first
day in a full week that I have not woken up with a blaring migraine headache.
You know, the kind of brain-banger that drags your butt out
of bed before it’s even light out to stumble to the medicine cabinet, desperate
for a remedy. And the only thing that works at all is the migraine medication that
is loaded with caffeine, so you know you’ll be up for the day at that point.
And then the miserable migraine continues to pound and
pommel your skull throughout the day … and into the next day … and …
But today! Whoo! Today it’s gone – at least, till the next
time.
I wanna do
cartwheels!
No, wait. In all my life, I’ve never actually done a
cartwheel. And, at this point, I can only imagine the added vertigo.
OK. I’m doing
cartwheels in my mind.
See, for anybody who has grown somewhat accustomed to
frequent or ongoing pain of any sort, any absence of such agony (even for a
while) is practically cause for euphoria.
I even caught myself singing at my desk a few moments ago.
Suffice it to say, it’s a red-letter day.
