I have been sick for about a month and a half now with migraine clusters and a sever inner ear imbalance that has left me incompassitated for 90% of that time. That alone is enough to make anyone go bonkers but lets just add to it that I have now had to also miss our annual vacation with some of our closest friends because of this crap .... Well, that does not make for a saine time around our house this weekend.
Just change the dates of the vacation you say? We can't do that, you see we have been going to these festivities for what would have been 10 years in a row and 6 or 7 of them have been with these friends. I am speaking of the Sprint Unlimited formerly known as the Budweiser Shootout in Daytona Beach, Florida at the Daytona International Speedaway. It is like a mini all-star race before the NASCAR racing season starts and right before the "Super Bowl" of racing, the Daytona 500.
The physical stuff is already taking its emotional toll on me, add that and now the fact that I am missing something that I look forward to each and every year, I can promise you i am a total ball of hot emotional mess right now. If I didn't have concerns about my husbands sanity while dealing with me through the migraines I DO worry about him trying to help me get through this weekend AND THEN through to NEXT YEAR! I swear, I have started crying over any and every thing. It is like all of those years that I never had the crying issue associated with PMS have decided to rear their ugly head all at one time.
As examples, here are some of the text between my friend and I yesterday as well as my reactions. Please remember that I am a 40 ish year old (or suppose to be) ...
Me: I expect hourly updates! ... Please ... Actually crying as I say that cause I really wish we were there My Reaction: (OMG Was I squalling when I wrote that)
Her: :( can't believe y'all aren't here!!
Her: 
picture of their camping spot which happens to be our most favorite camping spot of all time
My Reaction: (I literally threw myself on the bed in a fit of emotional turmoil and hysterical crying as if I myself were my three year old)
So they go on like this, she gets her favorite drivers (Carl Edwards) autograph,
I get upset because I am not there to share the experience with her and so on and so forth. I mean this is really getting ridiculous, my husband is trying to console me, but I swear I think he started laughing at one point.
So back to the game ... Several weeks ago she sent me this obscure text of a sconce on a wall. Within a split second I recognized the sconce as being from a resort at Walt Disney World. Not just any resort but the resort that holds my favorite restaurant on Walt Disney World Property ... Cape May Cafe At Disney's Beach Club. Her reply was you really are a Disney addict! (Yes, yes I am thank you very much but I digress.) That reminded me of this game we use to play where if one person was at Disney you took a picture of the ground/floor of where you were and sent it to your other disney addict friends and see who was the first to correctly identify it. Just a fun way for them to be there with you.
My theory is that if that worked for Disney, it should work for this annual weekend right? WRONG! First, you need someone to play who is going to play correctly! I mean, it's a PICTURE GAME. Here is how it started ....
Me: Send me a picture of what is directly behind you at this EXACT moment.
Her: (no picture) Lots of families with kids here. Campground still not full.
Me: I was trying to play a game ...
Her: ?
Second, okay my bad I guess I should have started with hey you wanna play a game, but normally she isn't that type of friend she is more of the jump right in kinda gal .... So my bad I will take the fall for that one.
Me: I was trying to play a game ... Take a picture and send to me, what is directly (behind, to your left, right, front, above, below, at your 11 o'clock, 2 o'clock, etc) at this EXACT moment. You are suppose to do that and then send me the pic that way I am there too. Guess it works better at Disney ... Sigh ... Been a very emotional day.
Her: oh sorry! Well, that's what was behind me when I saw your text.
Her: Random pic
Her: Random pic
Me: You are not very good at this game ... You are suppose to wait on me to send you a text on what type of picture you are suppose to send ...
Her: Ok
Me: But I still like what you sent :-)
Her: Random pic
So, today I wake up ready to start the game ...
Me: 3 o'clock
Her: picture of her husband's backside
Me: GAME OVER
Guess games like this really are best played at Disney ....
Looks like she is having a great time, one of the best in all the years we have been going ... I sure do wish I was there ... Excuse me I feel an emotion coming over me ... ;-)
