Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1.  Well the doctor isn't sure whether my blood pressure is high because of my headaches or I have headaches because my blood pressure is high.  Regardless, I'm have yet another pill to take (I'm becoming like my mother----I'm going to need one of those little daily pill organizers!) and better yet some pain medication. All Hail Ultram!  My headache is better--not gone but better and at least I can write and think.  A huge improvement.  Feeling better makes me realize how lousy I had been feeling.  Of course then he said if we couldn't figure it out down the road I might need an MRI.  I just laughed and said, "oh no, nothing can be really wrong with me----I'm the only one left.  I HAVE to be o.k.  He just nodded.

2.  Judi got through one scan yesterday----has her PET scan today.

3.  Last night I went upstairs to bed early---between hurting all day and pain medication I was SLEEPY and Owen shouted up after me, "I love you....and I'm NEVER going to forget how much I love you."  Then he came up and sang me a lullabye.  It went "go to sleep my little girl, go to sleep" and then I forget the rest because well....I went to sleep.

4.  Even though we can't afford it we got a babysitter and are going to see Bill Kirchen at the Rose Bowl on Thursday.

5.  Basement is still a little wet and my zinnias are all bent to the ground.  The boys, along with Parker and Dema, had a fabulous time playing in the flooded yard and street though....

6.  We've had so much rain of late that the other day Owen and a friend found these mushrooms in the field and brought them to me.  They were so gorgeous----these pictures barely capture it....and I might note that this may be as sexy as my blog has ever gotten....
