Migraine headache

That is how I spent my day. From beginning to now, migraine headache.

They are the bane of my existence. I have lost so much time from these headaches.

Now mind you, I have had headaches as long as I can remember. The first GP my mom took me to about cramps and headaches, kinda patted me on the head and told her it was all in my head. Just loved those old timey doctors who lumped everything as women's problems.

Now I know my mom had migraines too. She would have to lay down with a "sick headache." She suffered and now I suffer. I tried all day (after I awoke from a drug induced coma sleep) to think what I had done wrong yesterday that set off the headache. Nothing new, nothing different.

Maybe it was blog reading. You know the little box at the top of the page that says next blog?

the picture is a white moth on a toilet seat. I couldn't see it, can you? Pretty good camouflage, huh?

Busy Sunday

First work, then a funeral, then a covered dish dinner/ceremony with girl scouts.

At work, a family found me and took a picture of me with their six year old grandson. I had been on a rescue team six years ago when he, grandma and grandpa, mom and dad, and another couple got lost off one of the park trails. Seeing them all again was kinda cool and there is more to the story.

At the funeral, 4 young women sang Amazing Grace with only an acoustical guitar as back up. They sang harmony. It was quiet and low. If they weren't sisters, they had to be cousins. They were all tall and thin and had a family resemblance. They made beautiful music. It was moving.

The service was more evangelism that remembrance. Never have liked that. The preacher figures he has you in a church, he should try to save you in case you are a heathen. Catch ya while you are thinking about death and dying, I guess.

The girl we had the ceremony for to 'bridge" her from Brownies to Juniors, didn't show up. Kinda anticlimactic. But we did our flag ceremony and candles and then had a feast. The picture is of Rhonda reciting the Girl Scout Law.

Chilly Saturday

Wild raisen is the picture

Yes, today feels like October. Chilly, windy, warm in the sun.

Many of the trees are still green, they are just dropping their leaves. My guess is the drought we have has affected the color this fall. It has been the dryest, least colorful fall since I have lived here.

However, a tree, here and there, is just beautiful.

And it is half way through the month, just a little more than a month til the holidays start.

Prayers for all the folks across our land who are still homeless for these holdiays.
