TABOO TRUTHS

Yesterday I had a migraine….I haven’t had one that bad in years!  When my girls were young I use to get them ever few weeks.  The headaches I had were debilitating. Typical impact; extreme light and sound sensitivity, pain that intensifies, a blind spot in my vision and for me, physical expelling the contents of my stomach.  Not pleasant.  For those of you who experience migraines you know full well how they bring you to your knees.

I slept most the day and finally arose around 4pm.  Still enduring pain but slowly subsiding.  Both my girls and my guy got home around 6pm.  We sat on the deck for a short time talking.  I hadn’t eaten all day and knew I needed to have something.  No one else was very hungry.  I suggested we partake of cheese and crackers to make it simple.  Steve said that sounded good and without hesitation my daughter Courtney said “Mom’s been sick today so YOU get to cut up the cheese.” (directing this to Steve)  Of course he had already planned to prepare our feast but having my girls there protecting me made me smile.

I’m hoping the happenings yesterday does not become a trend again.  For those of you who experience these monsters, do you have suggestions?

OK, Ok….I’m a little late.  Our company signed a new client earlier today and we had most the day consumed with being attentive I also attended my Charlottesville Networking Group meeting!  I love this group and I’ll write more about the great people in another TTT.  Today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite app’s!  It’s called Around Me.  I can’t take credit, my guy friend introduced me. 

I’ve used this while traveling, even in my home town Jackson Michigan.  This app is great no matter where you are and what you are looking for.  Around Me allows you to quickly find out information about your surroundings.  How many times have you found yourself in need of finding the closest Gas Station? Or your closest bank location?  Or a restaurant when you’re traveling between Michigan and Virginia?  Once you choose the category Around Me give you the closest locations.  The nearest to further away.  Once you choose the business it reveals details about it and then provides a Google Map showing you were you are and the distance taking you to your chosen destination.

I was in Michigan last fall and couldn’t remember where the closest Bank of America was so…Around Me to the rescue!  This is an app you will really use.  A great tip!  What are some of your favorite apps?
