pixiecrinkleWent to Springfield today to meet all of my family, sans my sister, for mom and Aunt Carole's birthday. We went to a Chinese buffet, which shocked me. It was a treasure trove of seafood. I watched my mother eat frog legs and my father eat a crawfish. They had raw oysters, but I restrained myself by attacking the sushi display. Mom loved her fuzzy feet (I will still post pictures) though she will probably need to shrink them a little bit further.
Ended up going to this Crafts 2000 store that mom is obsessed with. It's a former Furrow lumber store all full of craft supplies, all at discount prices. I got a huge bag of yarn. They had lots of specialty stuff that I haven't seen in stock at a lot of other stores. And they had hemp/cotton and hemp/wool blends. I bought a couple things of hemp-cotton to make grocery shopping bags out of.
I have tracked my "holiday migraines" down to one of the following causes:
1. Driving (though that seems unlikely, because I don't get them on other long drives)
2. The perfume of either my mom or my grandma, or my uncle's cologne.
3. Something in my grandparents house.
I don't know whether 2 or 3 is more probable, because whenever we left, we all left together, so it wasnt' a very controlled experiment. Either way, I ended up doing an Imitrex at Fazoli's after I left there. I had to grab dinner because my cholesterol test is in the morning and I couldn't eat after 8, and I knew I'd have a hard time driving in the dark with a headache, so I took the Imitrex even though I'm not supposed to drive while on it. Home safe and sound though. I hope the egg drop soup I ate at lunch doesn't make my cholesterol spike!
Back to the afghan...I figure smelly yarn can't make the headache worse at this point.
