 i was at a party the other night.  i crouched down (1st mistake!) to pet a puppy and she jumped and caused me to fall down.  i reached for the coffee table and knocked down a pink cosmopolitan on a beige carpet!  this is my life now and i only surround myself with people who love me and understand my many dilemnas (except my teenage daughters who get impatient with the hearing issues).  bad days come without a warning and the really stink!!!  my heart goes out to anyone when they experience them  patti

Capt Deb,

I agree, you are really talented.  You would love where I live, underneath the Niagara Escarpment.  This fall was so gorgeous.  You will have to visit and paint me a picture!!

I find that when the sick and tired's started overwhelming this wench, the best medicine is a little humor, particularly a little visual humor--it helps lift my spirits.  I hope it lifts yours as well! We are all in the same boat, after all, adrift on this sea of AN swells and troughs, trying to stay afloat. Sail on, my brothers and sisters!

 Humor is definitely the best medicine.

Hello John,

Sorry about your bad day. It does get better.
I had one of my days yesterday. My nerves decided to start doing some healing yesterday. I thought I had the food in the mouth issue taken care of that yesterday I started getting little twictches in my head you know how they feel , it is find but not while you are at a restraunt with a friend and the food keeps sliding out of the left side of the mouth while your eating and it ends up on my blouse. After my lunch at 2 I had a doctors appointment for a physical and my speech starts slowing downing and my brain process.
It was back in a few minutes but it is still embarasing. My friend I had lunch with just kept staring at me funny to see what I was going to do next.

Cap. Deb I would really like to check out your gallery's  website... if you would e-mail it to me.

 I think about you every time I get a migraine ... I don't get them real often but when I do I think... 'if the Cap. can deal with the brainwreck ones she gets  so often - I can deal with my less often ones ' (believe it or not ... it helps during the  crazy light and pounding :D ).
