Life's too short to have migraines.
I've tried to convince myself that the pain's all in my head (haha) but it's. not. working. (sob)
If I was feeling better, I could be putting together a really fabulous entry on what a week we've had! Wendy Davis rocks! DOMA is no more!
But the good is tempered by the bad, of course...Rick Perry doesn't seem to understand that no means no. What is wrong with him? And DOMA being struck down doesn't affect my Kentucky... I live in Louisville, which is a wonderful city, but there's still a whole lot of bigoted rednecks that live in the rest of the South.
But still, there are two things I picture from this week that almost make my headache go away:
1) Wendy Davis and Leticia Van De Putte on the floor of the Texas Senate - Davis standing for a reported 15 hours, Van De Putte coming straight from her father's funeral - and making me SO PROUD I nearly couldn't stand it.
2) Sitting at my desk at work covertly reading the SCOTUS live blog and seeing Justice Kennedy's beautiful wording and realizing what it meant - DOMA had been struck down. I was so happy I literally wanted to jump for joy but that would have given me away so I had to get up and sedately walk away from my desk into the break room so I could bounce.
I have to believe that things will work out. I haven't stuck around this long for it not to. ... Because obviously, the world revolves around me.
Well, it's coming from my perspective, why shouldn't it?

Indeed we've had some good news for a change! Except for migraine --mine are barometric, when the air pressure tops out-- but I admire your fortitude.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what causes mine... I go see a third neurologist this week. High hopes.

ReplyDeleteI mentioned you.
Meanie.
I'm very sorry and duly chastened.
