Well today was The Day. After having a horrible week of migraines and other related illnesses (including having to take a half day on Wednesday), I went to the doctor about my migraines.

I figured I had no more excuses since we got out of work a few hours early today. :-) I’m in a good mood because it’s Friday, it’s beautiful, and I’m home free until Monday! (And I made my doctor’s appointment.) Next up, dentist. But let’s see how much it’s going to cost to get my headaches cleared up first. (Emergency…
