another step toward my super power.
I had the weirdest experience today! I saw an aura! (Unfortunately, it wasn't the supernatural kind that tells you what mood a person is in...or whatever it is you're suppposed to be able to see from that kind of aura.) My aura was completely terrifying and followed by The Worst Headache of All Time.
I'd heard that people with migraines have these warning signs, but I've never had one before. So, today, when my vision was blocked by this pulsating, sort of pixelated, colored blob, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. There was a moment when I opened a book and realized I actually couldn't read. (Let me tell you, had it been permanent, that would have been some crappy timing!)
After a visit to my lovely family doctor, I am much relieved that I'm not dying and I can still read. However, I watched tonight's debate from my couch looking like an invalid. My head hurt so bad it brought on nausea and somehow my house was freakin' freezing, so I've spent most of the evening with tons of pillows, a comfy sweatshirt, and a blanket. Like a had the flu or something.
Except for the fact that it was more than a little distracting and I couldn't read or drive and that it was associated with a whole lotta pain, and now that I know I'm okay, that aura thing was actually kind of cool. I found a pretty accurate discription of what I saw on wikipedia. Mine was in color though.
If my life were a movie, today would've been my "bitten by a radioactive spider" scene. I'm hoping my super power has something to do with the Northern Lights. Because this thing sort of looked like a pixelated aurora borealis. And because I just really want to see the Northern Lights.
