No working out. No cardio. Just a little stretching and rolling.
And this morning, I had a massive migraine. I haven't had one this bad since the day I drove home from Iowa after Justin's funeral.
Actually, I haven't had a migraine at all since probably last summer when I really cleaned up my eating and dropped most of my weight. A migraine is usually my body's way of telling my brain to knock off the torture.
Remember that whole "taking a break" thing? I have been trying, honest!
Granted, it has been a rough last few days. Here's the highlight reel:
Last Thursday evening...
The essence of the story is my awesomeness. In other words, I'm an idiot.
Pretty sure I braced myself, which completely helps my shoulder issues. Oh? No? It makes it worse?
We just heard today that the estimate was approved by the insurance company. Good deal, since apparently for that year of Cobalt, they will total the car if the damage is greater than 71% of its value. I managed to slide in with damages at 61% of the total value.
Yikes. My poor car. Fortunately, I was "fine," the other guy was really nice about everything, and even the cop was a sweetheart. Can a guy cop be a sweetheart?
I may or may not have jumped off my chocolate bandwagon that evening. I had been chocolate-free for months. Months, I tell you!
But like I said on Facebook, sometimes this is how you make lemonade out of lemons.. ;) And sometimes, just sometimes, there are experiences in life where cussing and chocolate are required. And wrecking your favorite car ever when your husband's out of town is one of those times.
So there was that. Friday was fairly normal. Aside from, you know, fallout of an accident and spending hours on the phone with different people, housework, prepping for a wedding, and trying desperately to get caught up with proofing. I might have had 2 more squares of chocolate.
Saturday was a wedding. Sore muscles + holding a camera all day = torture. And there was Justin's birthday. Which actually came and went with a lot more "sweet" and a lot less "bitter." Also, love it when the hubby starts some projects on Saturday evening, resulting in 1:00am bedtimes. UGH.
Sunday was pretty normal, but also prepping for company. Plus a mental crash. All the lovely exhaustion of the weekend combined with this:
Oh, it was good. Grandma B makes amazing pie. But. I only ate 2/3 of the piece, and the results were nasty. Mood swings, I was "out of it" the entire afternoon, and I was feeling panicky and overwhelmed while thinking about the coming week. Definitely not a healthy stress response.
I told my darling hubby (thanks again for loving me, by the way) to remind me about that experience if I ever. want. pie. again. Seriously. It was that horrible. I have sworn off pie. Okay, well except for a bite or two of pumpkin at Thanksgiving. ;)
Monday was decent. I had a chiro treatment. Oh, that was awesome. Then normal computer work.
Or at least I thought so until today. And this nasty migraine.
So, dear body... What in the world? Why the migraine after nearly a year? Too much stress? Not enough sleep? Too much chocolate? All likely, I suppose.
Anyway, on a lighter note. I am pretty excited for the rest of this week: an ordering session, an engagement session, and my last wedding in a row on Saturday. The rest of the weddings I am photographing are a little more evenly spaced throughout the rest of the summer/fall, so that will be great.
Plus! The hubby is working around home this week. Ahh. What a wonderful break from his out-of-town work. :)
A random from last week: I hadn't worn this top since high school! So despite the facts that it's too big and horribly out of date, I wore it anyway. :)
I had so much fun grocery shopping just for myself... and then I found out the hubby would be home this week, so it was off to the grocery store again!
Well, happy Tuesday. Hope your week is off to a great start!
