Naturally, you have to live in the desert and not have had any for a long time to appreciate that statement.

It’s kind of sprinkling here in the Valley of the Sun today.

I’m at home, waiting for the migraine medicine to kick in so I can take a nice long, quiet, dark nap.

You see, one of the side affects of having rain in the Valley is the dropping barometric pressure. For whatever reason (I am sure there is a medical study/connection thingy to prove this) when the pressure changes, migraines are triggered in some people. Like me.

Now, normally I don’t let a little thing like a headache get in my way. Take some Tylen*l or Exedr!n Migraine and work through it. But, when the migraine advances past the simple jackhammer on the back side of the skull into the territory of nausea and dizziness, I pretty much throw in the towel and take the good stuff. I know that adrenaline overrides my migraines in a hurry, which explains why I never really had trouble with them while in the service; but there’s really no call for adrenaline rushes in my current line of work. Except for driving to and from work, but I think I’ve covered that in previous posts.

The weather here is being weird along with the rain – last Friday and Saturday we set record highs (118 and 116 respectively) for the dates; today it’s a balmy and humid 82. I’ve gone so far as to turn off the A/C and open the doors to let the breeze through and let the dogs run in and out without having to be a doggy doorman while I am here.

Man, it’s taking a while for this stuff to kick in. I’m really amazed, considering I took some of the T before heading off to work, some of the E at work (effectively ignoring the dosage instructions, don’t tell TMBWitW, our Doctor, or Sue, OK?) and the good stuff once I decided I’d had enough and came home.

Well, I will stop waiting and go lay down. No sense wasting a perfectly good opportunity to catch some sleep.

May God richly bless your lives, and may you always seek His will in your life.
