Busy lately

Dear Shell,

Sorry I haven't written in the past few days. Between fall cleaning (same as spring cleaning, but done in the fall.. the deep down, crawling in the corners, standing on counters to reach the ceiling, etc type cleaning), working on my book, and a stupid migraine, I haven't had time to write a letter.

It's weird, the migraine I had a couple days ago. It hit in the late morning/early afternoon. Normally I wake up with them if I'm going to have one. But I laid down around 7pm until 8pm in our dark bedroom, to see if I could get any relief from it.

Then I talked to mom the next day and... she had a migraine, at the same time. And she laid down at about 7pm until 8pm to try to get relief from it...

Talk about weird! and this isn't the first time it's happened either. I'd say at least 3-4 times in the past 6 months, Mom and I have had migraines on the exact same days. It's not like we saw each other that day or the day before each time and had the same triggers hit us. It could be weather related I suppose, we live only about 15 minutes apart so we'd be experiencing the same weather conditions daily. But there has to be something in common that's triggering migraines in both of us the same days.

Could be stress, God knows there's plenty of stress in the family right now.

Grandma started Chemo, the type where they inject it into your blood. I guess they had some trouble with her veins rolling so they couldn't get the needle in. She may or may not go for another treatment tomorrow, Mom said they were looking at doing a port to make it easier, but I'm not sure if they decided yet or not. Mom said that Grandma wasn't feeling too well this week, I think the Chemo is already making her sick. At least this time, she's seeing a doctor every week, so she hopefully wont get as sick from the Chemo this time around. Before she was on the pill form of it I think, and got very sick from it. That's when she ended up in the hospital.

Well I need to go work on my book, plus I need some lunch. And, I need to do another writing assignment soon. So I better get busy!

Thanks,
Shell
