Short update.

For the second time in two weeks the entire town that I live in has no water. Last week it was a water main break, but this week I haven't bothered to call about it yet. We are lucky that I have a big water container that I used to use for camping, now we just keep it filled in the bathroom closet. It is only about 5 gallons, so it is only good for 2 or 3 flushes, but that is better then nothing. You never realize the luxury of flushing a toilet until you are staring down wondering how long it will be before you can press the lever and make it go away.

We have a water reserve for the kitchen a couple gallons worth of water in assorted sizes of containers. It is usually enough for a day or two for the 4 of us. We have enough milk, and juice to help ease the burden of water.

On a completely different topic, I have started on a prescription for migraine prevention. After 4 fruitless visits to the chiropractor I decided that enough was enough (I decided while in bed with a migraine, after I had ran out of the prescription that I take as needed for the pain). I had tried the chiropractor because I had luck ten years ago (seriously, a decade???!!!!) with accupressure and massage, but I didn't seem to have any luck this time. The chiropractor was very knowledgeable and I think I would recommend a visit to most people I know because he was just what I needed to help with back pain, and he had this massage type of machine that he called a G-5. Wow, it was great.

The medicine that I am on now is actually an accidental migraine prevention tool which should take one or two weeks to reach it's full effectiveness. I have slightly high blood pressure too, which is actually good, because the drug is a beta-blocker which lowers the blood pressure. It just means that now I have to be all attentive to other drugs that I take. For example, no more ibuprophen for me. And certain cough and cold drugs are listed on the printout as possible to cause complications. Fun, fun, fun.
