Tonight's picture was taken on Halloween of 2007. Mattie was in Kindergarten and his school had a Halloween parade. I am so happy I went to see the parade and took photos. Mainly because I wasn't given a second chance. At the time I thought I would be attending the parade for several more years while Mattie was in elementary school. That of course did not happen.
Mattie and I went to the costume store to pick out this pilot uniform. In fact, that was our first year going to the costume store. Previous years we either made a costume or it was a simple sweat suit of some sort. Several months before Halloween Mattie visited the air show at Andrews Air Force Base. He loved that experience so much that he had his mind set on being an Air Force pilot for Halloween. The irony was this costume had a Navy uniform. But thanks to my friend Charlie who is a retire lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, she sent me many Air Force patches with I sewed onto the uniform, and transformed it. Mattie was thrilled!

Last night, I felt like my right ear was clogged and I also developed ringing in that ear. It lasted for hours. I was somewhat concerned because this never happened before. Then today I developed a WILD migraine...... the intensity of the headache and nausea are noteworthy. Somehow I was out and about and doing things so I did not put it together that I had a migraine until tonight when I truly analyzed my symptoms in totality. I have had auras before which involve zig zaggy lines that appear before my eyes. This is considered an optic migraine. Rather scary because it feels like you are losing vision, but thankfully it only lasts about twenty minutes. My first optic migraine scared me to death! The ringing in the ears is a new one for me, but now I know.... it marks the start of a migraine about to unfold. So tonight's blog is short because I want to stay off the computer as much as possible.
