Migraines, Muskies, Metal and Soccer

What a fantastic holiday weekend (for the most part). I got to do all the things I really enjoy. The older son, who is playing Freshman High School Soccer (Damn do I feel old) had games on Friday, Saturday and Monday. Based on the time of most of his games I will miss them because of work, but I got to watch all the games this weekend. He isn't the star of the team by any stretch but plays about half the game at outside back, plays hard and has a good time. I love watching my kids play sports...even if I can't keep my mouth shut (A minor bit of ugliness ensued at one game as a parent of a player on another team told me "Not to say another f'ing word" for the rest of the game..I effectively told him to go to hell).

Got out fishing two days. One with Khyle. Had a great time, fishing wasn't that good, but Khyle stuck a nice 2-3 pound bass and I was able to get a small musky. Weather was nice, just a little to nice for Musky fishing. Monday was a different story, cloudy and rainy. The upside was there weren't more the 5-6 boats on the water. I was able to catch a 43" Musky, which is my biggest in the last two years. It crushed a topwater bait and since I was fishing by myself netting the beast was a complete clusterfuck. But I did get her in the bag. Of course I had forgotten my digital camera and had to dig out a two year old disposable. Hopefully the photos will come out and I will post them.

Played a lot of guitar this weekend. Not working on anything specific, just sort of wanking (technical guitar term) if you will.

The only downside to the weekend was repeated migraines. I get weird ones, I generally don't get a headache but lose my vision. I see a flash, then get kaleidoscope vision for about 40 minutes. At its worst I can't see, at its best I can see partly but can't drive. If I get one at work and try to read or work through it, then I will get the headache. Well I got one on Friday that was minor, one on Saturday that was pretty major and went into a nasty headache where I had to work pretty hard not to vomit. Sunday I got two while on the water fishing with Khyle. The first one wasn't to bad, but the second was a doozy (sp??). I didn't say anything because I was having a good time and well, honestly not much I would have been able to do because I wouldn't have been able to drive home any way. One more on Monday that was very minor. Not sure what the scoop is, as generally speaking I only get one or two a month.

Must be stress, oh good I get to go to work tomorrow.
