Good morning readers,
Had a friendly run in with a cicada yesterday afternoon. He or she was a biggin’! And I use that word strongly as it was bigger than my finger. It didn’t fly at me or try to land on me thank goodness it simply stayed sitting on the sidewalk path so I admired its size and walked past it. I made the mistake of watching one of my favorite movies The Italian Job – it’s because of this that I now am on a kick to buy a Mini Cooper S. Ever since watching the film back in 2003 I always wanted one. A red one with white stripes like Charlize Theron drove. It happens every time. My parents will now have to hear me ranting about wanting one for the next couple weeks. That’s the name of the beast! I wanted to tell you guys yesterday around one p.m. I got my twenty-four-hour migraine. We got home around five or six and by then after dinner my headache was way worse – it was through the top of my head like a tumor and just like that I knew it was my twenty-four because only it acts like that. In the meantime, my husband’s back had really been bothering him – a knot that always pulls out and acts up for him. My mother – kind hearted soul that she is – offered to let him use some of the massagers she has. This one sits around your neck with two massaging and heating “balls” that rotate continuously to grind into the area. After about an hour or so of my husband using it, I thought why don’t I try it on the seam of my skull – running the massaging balls down the middle of the skull where the pressure was worse and then allowing both of them to run on either side of it to smooth everything out evenly. I used it on and off for about an hour or so. And it left me enough relief to fall asleep for a few hours which is more than what I usually get. I then woke up at ten-thirty p.m. and it was pounding – moving out to the couch to get more air and get comfortable for the long night ahead of me – I took the massager out with me. Again, it gave me enough relief to fall asleep two more times – and one of those times led me to sleep a full four hours until eight a.m. Is this the solution? A hidden treasure beneath my nose that I never thought of before? For anyone suffering from these I would recommend it – just make sure that your massager though has the balls that are covered with the material of the massager – if you get one with the rubber balls that are uncovered, I fear they might get caught or tangled up in your hair. The massager is a Homedics kneading neck massager with heat. We got it at Walmart a year or two ago for probably thirty or forty dollars – so completely affordable. Before the storm hit my head, I was able to finally unpack some of my kitchen dishware and get it up in the cabinets even though the remodel is not yet complete. It was a great feeling seeing my new German dish set in the cabinet. It was super exciting. In other news Hurricane Ida is set to hit Louisiana this afternoon / into the evening. I hope and pray for all those who chose not to leave or didn’t get out in time that they will be okay! I feel terrible! The news says it’s a high category four almost a category five with 150 mph winds with 20 or 30 inches of rain. They say one this big hasn’t hit them since the 1950s! And this one comes on the 16th anniversary of Katrina’s devasting hit. Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya! Comments are closed.
