Migraine...ugh

Spent yesterday laying on the couch, in the dark, suffering from a massive migraine. Felt like my head had been impaled with huge metal spike. It's been awhile since I've had a headache that bad, but it came at the appropriate time. Gave me an excuse to get out of going to the opening of my brother-in-law's new showroom. Wonder if the migraine was psychosomatic in nature. I wanted to go to the opening at first, but once I found out just how many people were expected to show up I panicked and was trying to think of a way out of going.

I will swing by the showroom at some point, during the week when I know it won't be too crowded. I know he put a lot of hours and sweat equity into getting that place together so they could open to the public. He's a lousy husband and father, but he does have a strong work ethic. Even without the showroom, all the partners have done really well getting this company off the ground. I was worried because they're competing with the likes of Home Depot and KDA, which I don't think has gone out of business yet. But I think they have some solid relationships with some major home builders that were willing to stay with them when they jumped ship from KDA.

The kiddie and I decided we'd head off to Minnesota for spring break. We're only going for 4 days. First two days we'll spend in Minneapolis, doing the Mall of America and a couple of other things. Then we're driving farther north to a resort that has an indoor waterpark for the other two days. Now I just need to make reservations and solve one minor detail...

How do I cover up the scars on my arms? When we go swimming and stuff over the summer outdoors, I can easily make the excuse to wear a shirt over my swimsuit that I burn easy. Can't use that same excuse indoors. When we were in Milwaukee, I simply avoided swimming when other people were around but I have a feeling that won't be possible at this place. There will always be other people around. If I wasn't so darn pale, this probably wouldn't even be an issue. Of course if I didn't cut or cut so deep as to cause the red, raised scars there would be no issue at all, but can't do anything about that now. Do they make swimsuits with sleeves that go to the elbows??

Well, I had a lot more that I wanted to type about, but my head is still hurting so I'd best wander off to bed. Hopefully I'll feel better when I wake.
