Had a weird, jagged, pulsating thing in my vision suddenly appear yesterday. I haven't had something like that before, and it seems it was probably a scintillating scotoma. It was a very strange thing, just this little vibrating, zigzaggy blob that sort of blurred my vision in one eye and floated around like a flag in a soft breeze. Seems like it was most likely an ocular migraine, though I didn't have any real headache with it. Blob lasted about 15 minutes, and then was gone, and a headache never materialized. ~shrug~

Spent most of the evening after work in the kitchen. I had a burst of cooking energy, so I made the southern fried pork chops with bacon gravy, seasoned green beans with more bacon, and white cheddar mac & cheese. By the end of it I was exhausted and sweaty, but we ate damned well, I tell you what. 

Baby fought her bedtime last night. She would just scream and scream, and then when I went in to calm her down she'd be just fine and just want to play. -_- Girl, it is after 9 o'clock and past my bedtime, go to sleep!

She was up again at midnight with a bad dream. She sobbed inconsolably, especially whenever we tried going back to her bed, so we sat in the living room until she calmed herself down. She eventually crawled off my lap and sat beside me on the couch petting Tibby for a good while and just saying "good" over and over, and then she seemed to feel much better. I let her lead the way back to her room, and then she went right back to sleep, completely exhausted. 

It took two hours to get her back to sleep, so I lost a good chunk of my night, and I'm feeling it this morning. I did nothing beyond making her breakfast, then I sat back in bed and scrolled through The Horrors on FB before giving up on that and getting ready for work. Really hope I can sleep in tomorrow.

M has a job interview on Monday, and I have a doctor's appointment, so it will be a half-day at work for me. Then it's Juneteenth on Thursday, and I'm taking Friday off to bridge the gap to the weekend, and the following Monday is a day full of more doctor's appointments (we're doing all the genetic testing on the fetus right now to make sure it's healthy), so a short week and a five-day weekend are ahead. I am ready to be off work for a while again. Hoping to poke at some 1830s stuff while I'm off, but it's not a solid goal or anything.

"weird, jagged, pulsating, vibrating, zigzaggy blob blurring vision in one eye" sounds exactly my migraine auras. The blob moves off and then I get "watery" vision for another few mins and 20 mins later bam! Pain. Pain for days. If I take advil before the aura stops, I'm good. I am VERY glad that didn't turn into a migraine for you, that is the last thing you need right now!

When I was reading up about what the heck it could be, migraine aura was at the top of the list. I didn't get a headache afterward, but I have been having headaches the past couple of days that 1000mg of acetaminophen barely touched, and I just read that the aura can sometimes show up after the actual migraine attack, so...~shrug~

UGH i HATE that! Why is having a meat suit so fraught!

My spouse gets ocular migraines, but he never gets head pain. Just the weird aural phenomenon which lasts about half an hour during which he doesn't like to drive or do anything where vision is important. His doctor insists this is legit a form of migraine even though it doesn't hurt.
