Thoughts on recent migraines

I just had a glorious week and a half (thereabouts) off for Christmas and New Year, along with Russ and Will and Ethan. Overall, it was fabulous. I really didn't want to go back to work. There were a few instances of wanting to lock the boys in separate rooms, when they just wouldn't leave each other alone, but other than that, things were great.

Except, I had a pesky migraine for much of the time. Around Tuesday (last day of vacation), I fingered the walnuts I'd been sprinkling on my oatmeal and my lunchtime salads. Yesterday, my first day back at work (and my first day of not sleeping in, I might add), was headache free. Hmmm.... Perhaps I shouldn't have blamed the nuts. Maybe the culprit was keeping my lazy ass in bed until 8:00 every morning.

Of course, I will look for any reason to keep nuts in my life. The edible kind, not the human kind. The human kind I can do without, thank you very much. Dare I reintroduce nuts if I promise to keep a normal sleep schedule? Please, oh please?
