Migraine Fog

Sometimes I just don't know what to write about. This week has not been particularly exciting—it's been one of those stretches where the days blur together, marked mainly by their lack of notable events. On top of that, I've been dealing with a migraine since Monday. Though it's better this morning, it's still lingering, a quiet reminder that it's not quite ready to leave.

Migraine fog has a way of clouding thoughts and making inspiration especially elusive. It leaves me feeling disconnected, struggling to find the right words or any words at all. I sit down at the keyboard, hoping something will spark—perhaps a memory, a piece of news, or a passing thought that might grow into a meaningful reflection. But today, the page feels particularly daunting in its emptiness, my thoughts muted by the dull haze of discomfort.

Yet, there's comfort even in admitting the absence of excitement or inspiration. Writing honestly about these quiet, difficult moments feels genuine, relatable. It's a reminder that life isn't always about milestones or major events. Sometimes, it's simply about getting through a dull week or coping with a persistent headache and its accompanying fog.

So today, I'm writing this—acknowledging the quiet, the uneventful, and the struggle to find words through the haze. It's a small step, but sometimes, that's enough.


Isabella Pic of the Week: Ever attentive, Isabella is probably pondering life's great feline mysteries—or perhaps just wondering when I'll go to bed so I can get up early enough to feed her.

Vade retro headache ! When you don't know what to write, Joe, a picture of Isabella is enough for us.

Soon you will have a military parade inspired by President Trump by that of July 14 in Paris https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille_Day_military_parade .
In the past, there were carousels in Europe https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrousel_(%C3%A9quitation) .
The Romans had triumphs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_triumph .

And Trump is so unworthy of any parade. He is a malignancy on America and it’s very honor.

Hitler & Russia had/have parades like that. Like kings or worse!
