...I am *in*side. Yesterday, Madelyn and I went to my sister's house to help her with a few things. I began having a dull headache...so at lunch, I took some ibuprofen. The headache continued, despite the meds, and got worse through the day. By the time we got home, I was really hurting. I went to bed early and had a fitful sleep...waking this morning with a residual headache. I took some more ibuprofen this morning and hope the residuals will be completely gone soon....for it is an absolutely gorgeous day outside! I have laundry washing and look forward to getting it hung out on the line! I have been doing some housework and such....but moving slowly and gently.
My mom took the children last night for a sleepover, to keep the house super-quiet for me. The children were excited to go and she was thrilled to have them. I worried about Jaxson's drops and ointment getting done correctly and on time (not that my mom can't handle it...it's not difficult at all...it's just that *control* part of me that had a hard time letting go). I was in bed by 7:30pm and although waking numerous times in the wee hours, I forced myself to stay in bed. I felt the headache still there and wanted to try and sleep it off as best I could. I am so thankful for a sun-shiny day! It does wonders for a soul, doesn't it?

Proof that even the most seasoned-bread-bakers has a flop now and then (this is some honey-oat bread I made the other day...it flopped while baking in the oven! Oops! Thankfully, it still tastes good!)...
As an early birthday gift (super early, in fact, as my birthday is 6 months away!)...my aunt gave me a fantastic lamp!
Isn't it great? The iron is heavy and painted beautifully!
I just love it and plan on getting a thank-you note in the mail **today**! :)
Thank you for coming by....I'm so sorry that the first part of this post seemed (or maybe it didn't just seem but rather, actually was) like a lot of complaining. Some days are not as cheery as others, I suppose. We take the good with the bad. :o)
The washer just finished. I heard it click off. I need to get the clothes out on the line, whilst drinking in some of that wonderful sunshine. You have a *great* day!
Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied,
Katy
I also get headaches like that. Sleeping them off is the best treatment. I hope you are feeling better today. Enjoy the sunshine I miss having a clothes line.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading this I am thinking of hanging the clothes out when they are done. I was looking forward to doing it this week with the temp in the 60s, just didn't think about it today. Have a great day. Hope your headache stays away. I recently started getting those like crazy that turn into migraines. Happy to report with the change in diet so far instead of one daily I had one this whole past week.
ReplyDeleteI love your lamp that was given to you. It is very nice. I was wondering if you have ever used peppermint oil for you head aches. I have them too. Sometimes it helps mine if I put alittle peppermint oil behind my ears and on my head. I hope you feel better soon. I love reading your blog. It is an encouragement to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chelle, for your kind words! :)
DeleteYes, I do use peppermint essential oils on my temples and neck! :) Thank you for suggesting it though...many are not aware of it's uses! :o)
Beautiful girls !!!!!! I love your life
