Forked in the Foot

Somehow today, there was a fork wedged against my dining chair, and when my son and I started mashing each others feet under the table goofing off, I pulled my foot back really fast to get away from his foot stomping action and forked my heel. 3 punctures with the tines. Zowie!

Then my 13yo got up to see, and when she sat back down, her chair exploded. Not kidding. Her wooden chair shattered and exploded out from under her, dumping her uncerimoniously on her rump, nearly sending her out the 2nd story window. 2 of the support rods on the under side of the chair snapped at the same time into sharp projectiles. Fortunately she was not punctured. That would have been icky. And painful.

What the heck is going on today???

Before dinner I noticed my vision went all wonky. I started seeing a blurry spot just off the center of my vision, to the left, and it quickly grew to the size of a dinner plate and was orb shaped with squiggly test-pattern looking lines and rainbow colors and radiating light. And I got vertigo-ish, and my left side and face began to tingle.

I know, sounds like a stroke, huh? I was kind of wishing I had medical insurance, so then I Googled the symptoms to see what kind of situation I might be dealing with. All sources said a sudden change in vision is a medical emergency, so my husband suggested I call my teacher to see what he thought. As soon as he suggested that, the symptoms began to ease, like I immediately opened to the energy that was already there for me. I didn't end up calling, but I would have if need be.

All the symptoms matched with aura migraines. I have had hundreds of migraines up behind my left eye, ones where I become hypersensitive in all my senses and even vomit from the pain, but I never had the aura kind. In fact,  I never got a migraine this time either, but apparently it is possible to have an aura migrain without the pain. Weird, huh?

I started to feel weird up behind my right eye (I have NEVER had a right eye migraine) so I took some Excedrin for Migraine just incase. I normally don't take meds, but migraines definitely warrant a different response in my opinion.

I wonder if it was something energetic? Maybe my brain was getting a tune-up or something. You know, all day I could smell things that weren't there too, just by seeing a picture or thinking about something. Not just good smells either!

Anyone else ever have these kinds of issues? If so, what the heck was up with you?

All evening I've had trouble saying the words I'm thinking- or typing the words I'm thinking, but that happens with migraine too. I feel like I have a migraine hangover (you migraine sufferers know what I mean!), but I never did have any pain (which is okay with me!).

What a strange day.

Kiddos spent all day making a huge dinner just for the 5 of us. A gigantic homemade tofurkey, and enough food to feed most of the people on our block- not that I'm saying the tofurkey isn't food. I think it is, but I know most of you won't. ;)

Anyway, dinner was fabulous, minus the forking and the chair explosion and the light show in my face. The light show would have been a lot more fun if I knew for sure it wasn't going to maim me, but even then I actually thought it was pertty cool anyway. It was really pretty and reminded me of my beloved Elohim of Light. Maybe they were just saying hey. They wanted in on the tofurkey and pecan pie.
