Holy cats! How cool is that?

Me – In a Nutshell

Thanks for the new toy, Vy!

Another reason to love him

8 y/o is doing homework on nouns. When naming a proper noun starting with H, my boy says “Hooters! That’s a restaurant!”
Yeah, baby. ❤

Until next time,

No More Wal-Mart!

I hate switching grocery stores. I can’t find anything!!!

Elaborating: I’ve sworn off of Wal-Mart for good. A lot of their corporate policies have bothered me for some time, but dammit, they were so convenient! They finally pushed me over they edge a few months ago and I haven’t been back since.

I still haven’t settled “my” new grocery store, but I’m working on it. I’ve ordered some non-perishables in bulk online. I think I saved some money, too. But, those day to day groceries… eventually I’ll settle on a store I like. I hope.

Hrmph, but Good

I hate waking up early and not being able to get back to sleep. *pout*

A migraine flattened me last night. I had no choice but to take my meds, which I haven’t had to do in a few months. Whoa, really? Has it been that long? I guess the other drugs are working!

The migraines were coming, on average, twice a week for several years before I was finally convinced to seek treatment. It’s easy to slip into the pain pattern and forget what normal should feel like. When the full headache cycle covers a full three days (or more), and then repeats, it becomes your normal.

And now? Wow. Weeks on end without that aura… my depth perception has remained intact… I don’t feel the need to drown myself in a frozen lake. Groovy, no? Yes.

So, I medicated my head last night. But, the meds knock my ass out. I was falling asleep sitting up by 9 PM. That’s wicked early for me! I gave up and crawled under the blanket and zonked out. And today I’m awake way earlier than usual.

I’ll be needing a nap this afternoon.

Something Extra

Oh, wow! What a bonus! Just got to watch a Navy Retirement Ceremony!

For the most part I held it together, too. I only cried a little bit. Maybe. Ok, fine! I’m a sap! I’m a total sucker for military ceremonies. There. Happy?

WWKIP

Knitting in public at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans!

It was a good day! Lots of fun and cool people, too. A few pics to follow as soon as my lazy self uploads them.

Just so you know

Giving oral meds to a wiggling, uncooperative rat is very difficult. Words to remember, kids!

Until next time,

Cinco de Mayo

Any time the calendar encourages me to make shredded pork and drink tequila, it’s going to be a good day!

Until next time,

I have a head full of goop. Henna-colored, lemon-scented goop.

Tell me I’m pretty!

Until next time,
