I’m not kidding. Google it. This is a recent thing with me and I was thinking of asking my Doctor about it and so I googled the symptoms and lo and behold, it has a name and it’s not uncommon. I have to tell you though, the first few times it happened I wasn’t sure what to make of it nor was I open to telling others about it as it was too hard to explain to someone. Suffice it to say, it’s a little bizarre to experience an extremely loud BANG in my head along with a bright flash of light as I’m falling asleep. I’m going to start a support group. Hello my name is Mark and my head explodes.
Well, here we are on Day 3. It’s been pretty non-stop since Andrea left. Yesterday I took the girls to see Alvin and the Chipmunks at the theatre. I was kind of expecting it to be lame but it surprised me and I actually found myself laughing a couple of times. I know, I know…it’s hard to imagine how 3 CGI chipmunks can hold interest for a grown man…but then I will make a distinction here. I said “grown” not “mature”. I find it easy to invoke my inner child when the situation calls for it.
After School today, I took the girls to Cosmic Adventures which if you are not familiar with it it can be best described as a huge habitrail kit for kids. There was hardly anyone there so I just grabbed a cup o’ joe and watched the kids run wild. Normally, I would climb through the tubes with them but I foolishly injured my neck last week carrying both my children on each shoulder. Scrambling through hundreds of meters of plastic tubing on my hands and knees easily lost out to sitting on a bench with a cup of coffee.
On tomorrow’s schedule. Swimming lessons….and I promise to take some time to talk about a few of the requests for topics…I just figured nothing could beat the Exploding Head thing today.
