totchipandaI went to Silver Wolf yesterday :D Mum called me last week and said "its freeeeeee", so my response was "HECK YES". Free? Chance to wear my newest dress? THE DELIIOUS FOOD THAT IS INVARIABLY SERVED?! Count me in!
I really need summer garb. It was very warm yesterday. Mum and I watched a teensy bit of the first-evar equestrian competition, since we'd missed most of it by the time we arrived. We walked to the little food store on the corner to pick up something for lunch. We realized too late that the tap water has likely been softened, as it tasted vaguely of salt, and so I didn't drink nearly enough water. Cue migraine. (more on that later)
The food was, AMAZING, as usual. There was a loaf of bread with raisins in it and cheese with herbs in it. Very nice flavour combination. Next was an onion soup that was the most delicious thing I have ever, ever eaten. The pot of leftover soup was put out on the table, and was quickly devoured. (None of the other leftovers could claim that!) There was slices of cold pork roast with fresh-made mustard, of which even the "non-spicy" one was of a delicious sinus-clearing variety, and buttered green beans. Salad made entirely without lettuce and included some flowers and things, and garlic tarts. Mum and I took a break in a cooler room and had an interesting discussion O-o; That was when I realized I had a full blown migraine going on, and absolutely NOTHING with me with which to treat it.
Court is always more interesting to me now than it was when I was a teen. The usual awarding of things to people, a couple of people who are at like, EVERY thing I ever go to, and have been around since the early-mid 80s were raised to court baron and baroness, Prince Hjalti declared that he liked nice stuff and wanted more nice stuff, and didn't we want more nice stuff too? Join him at the Avacal-Tir Righ war at the end of the month so that we could go claim their nice stuff and make it ours! (Nice stuff became a recurring theme by the end, and will likely stick around for awhile. It also elevated him to my second-favourite-prince)
Last bit of food was great pie, which is always tasty. One of the main cooks came out and said "good food?" to which we were like "HECK YES" and I only came out for the food...
So yes, migraine. It was pretty bad. Left-side, at least, which I believe are easier to get rid of. Right-side ones seem to hang around for FAR longer than they're welcome. I felt a little better when I changed into my regular clothes, but there was an hour long drive back to the city, and between the headache nausea and my increasingly more regular car sickness, it was all I could do to stay still and try not to throw up. As it was, Shane had JUST pulled into a parking spot to let me out at my house and BLEEEEH. All that wonderful food is now somewhere in the sewage system once I got it out of my mug. Migraine was still killing me, but I just crawled into bed and went to sleep.
Woke up at 4:50am, still headachey. Woke up every hour after that, always still headachey and nauseous. I didn't take any meds at the time, because I knew I would just throw them up before they had a chance to do anything. Finally did vomit out some stomach acid, promptly took the advil and went back to sleep. Woke up at 12:30, finally headache-free :) There's still some residual ache left behind, but its hardly noticeable and will be gone after another good sleep.
The downside to this is, of course, its already 4pm and I haven't done a darn thing with my day.
