Yikes!

Wow-over half a year since my last post. I guess time, like toilet paper, goes faster the closer you get to the end!
Not that I am at the end by any means; at least I hope I have some more time on the planet. It would be nice to figure out WHY I am supposed to be here before it's time to move on.
Anyway, it has been an interesting year. Hubby quit his job so we were without his income for several months. At least we had our tax return & his 401K that we cashed in to live on so we aren't as far behind on things as we could be. Amanda graduated from college and works for an accounting firm in Omaha. She shares an apartment with her best friend from college and seems to be doing well. We are so proud of her. Dan is still working full time and living at home. I am glad to have him around, even though I don't readily admit it to him. Gale did start a new job in May, but has already been suspended once for a week without pay, so I don't know how long it will last. But I am hopeful.
I still have my rabbits, and although I seldom make it to shows anymore I am still working on them. We have a "pond" made out of an old swimming pool (15' diameter" that is home to koi and various other water critters. I am REALLY enjoying that-so relaxing. I've also successfully spawned some bettas-something that I've always wanted to try and am anxiously waiting for the fry to mature. They are about so _ big, so I have a little wait yet to see how they turn out.
My head has been pretty good. Still on Lyrica and Namenda. It seems like I have fewer migs now but boy sometimes when I get a whopper it's a major one-non stop puking and into the ER for fluids kind. I could live without that.  The lethargy and weight gain from the med side effects I could do without too. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for menapause in hopes that going thru it will tame the beast for good. I would like to be able to get some of this weight off and get out more. Oh who am I kidding? I like being safely hidden away at home and not dealing with anybody. Easier that way.
Well, I am going to try to do better at this. I have missed my friends in the migraine community
hugs to all of you
