Still with me

My headache was back again this morning.  Not surprised; my 'migraines' are always two day affairs. At least I can usually count on coming good on day three.  And I am thankful that Easter will be mostly spent quietly at home.

In the meantime there's the dilemma of whether or not to bother taking pain-killers ... and what I can eat without making it worse.  As I said yesterday, the list of suspect foods is very long.  I made some toast this morning, but what to put on it?  Marmalade is citrus, and Vegemite is yeast.  Yhogurt is a no-no and so is coffee and orange juice. 

Lunch is a boring affair when you have to exclude tomato, avocado, cheese, onion, processed meats, dressings and pickles.  I only threw a sideways glance at the fresh sourdough loaf and the hot cross buns.  But then also, practically every kind of fruit is out - especially the ones that I most enjoy, like pawpaw, bananas, and pineapple.

I took a walk in the garden munching on an apple.

The Pride of Barbados is in bloom.

And the lovely Singapore Frangipani.

Then I had my daily swim.

The water temperature was perfect.

This is the pool, taken  when the Purple Wreath was in bloom.

Relaxation and deep breathing always help with pain.

Earlier today I managed to sit briefly for some meditation -- and so made a start on a new commitment with the group that meets together at a site called 100 days.

They're an interesting and eclectic group of (mostly) bloggers and I'm looking forward to spending the next three months meditating with them.
