Pain In The....

So the last little bit my Trigeminal Neuralgia sends "subtle" shocks to my cheek but nasty ones to my eye ball.  I can't feel my cheek or eye ball.  Nope...no feeling at all, none in my eye brow or forehead either.  But today I got sucker punched.  I can honestly say that nerve pain in places you can't feel is not only weird it's down right mean.  It's like having a bully live inside your own body.  This bully decided to stab me in the right eye brow, yes the one I can't feel.  It's exhausting and quite honestly I'm a little disappointed in my brain.  It's the whole I control you...no no you control me thing we have going on...brain vs Kelly.  Now if I was a betting women I would pick me, cause I'm a get out of my way I can do anything kind of girl...no chance for a brain.  However, I've heard rumours that this "brain" thing I'm up against has some pretty sly tricks up it's "cavernous sinus abutting the cerebellar peduncle"...ya that's short for a stupid location for a brain tumour....see "it" thinks it's soooo smart with all the fancy words but really I have "google" I can look that stuff up, which in turn makes me smarter then the brain.

To answer you question...NO I have not been drinking, just hanging out with the overly smart brain that thinks too much, which really is a pain in the.........

Head to Toe Happy

What does a girl like more then chocolate?   Being pampered,  Ahhh yes, to sit and have your nails go from bland and sparkly.  Your feet go from embarrassing to sandal happy and your make up from non existent to glam.  What more could a girl ask for?  Well, how about taking the 2 inches of graying roots and restore then to my natural colour with a lovely a hint of foils.  It all sounds too good to be true but in fact this is how I spent my Friday afternoon, with the girls from Urban Hair in Sackville.  It was a fun after noon with lots of laughs and a feeling of truly being taken care of.

Then of course, one must head of out with the love of your life to an amazing dinner at Onyx.   I enjoyed everything about this chic little restaurant located on Spring Garden Rd in Halifax.  The service was top notch, the food was excellent and the company was way better then any chocolate.

The entire day was a gift, Thank You Urban Hair for making me feel like a princess.  And Thank You to our friends James and Nancy and Jim and Helen for the gift certificates to one of the best little restaurants Halifax has to offer.  What an amazing day.
