Any accomplishment yesterday?

Yesterday was a slow day; I developed a headache part way through the afternoon which simply slowed me down for the remainder of the day. I mostly kept away from the computer and watched the TV although not a lot of that either. It is gone today which is nice and prior to the cataract surgery it would have lingered interestingly enough through the next day somewhat. I am being careful again today not to strain my eyes overly but for the most part my eyes seem somewhat back to normal. Migraines plagued me ever since I was a teenager and to have escaped them is quite amazing actually. I had my own "old wives' tales" methodologies for dealing with them as I had tried medications but did not really find them to be a solution in the long run. Adjustment of life style was actually the solution; total adjustment of life style. I simply rested for two or three days; did not try to do anything that was straining on my eyes and that was the solution that worked best in the long run. Avoiding the triggers for the migraines was really the answer and gradually I did manage to separate the triggers out and avoided those particular situations which set my nerves on edge. In a way it was returning to the days of my youth when I was very much a hermit. 

So today, I shall do all my exercises which I do really enjoy. I believe I am an exercise fanatic actually. Edward did think so but he did not mind and would join me in some of the exercises. I think he would have liked to have run and did try way back when we were first married. But he simply was not able to run. Strange really but he said that even during his high school days he could not take part in that type of physical activity. I had that in mind when our children were young and was always prepared to run after them never letting them out of my sight since I knew he could not run. Children move quickly and do do things on occasion that one needs to be prepared for; that is for certain. 

Not too much time today on the computer so will move on to my next task. Breakfast completed and it is 9:00 a.m. already. I am late today.
