July 11

So far, so good. If this pattern really is as easy as it appears to be at this point, I will make sweaters for the whole world. Well, wait. Maybe not the whole world. But a couple more.

The evening couldn't have been more beautiful. The house across the street has become the gathering spot for all kids in a 1 mile radius. The good thing is that all the adults there are very involved and keep an eye on everything (and hey - he plays right along WITH the kids, which is awesome. The dad on the slip and slide.. greatest ever!) So that was going on, and ragazz' was out for a quick bike ride and I was on the front steps reading and writing.. perfect.

It was a nice end to a day that was headache-filled early on. Bah. I don't get the regular aura kind of migraines anymore. I get cluster headaches, which are just the worst. The good thing is, I don't ever get them at night (or if I do, I don't remember them). But everything else is there.. one sided, hits fast, happens several times in a day, etc. I can go for months without getting them. I'm learning to just take something right away in the morning as prevention, and that a cold cloth on the side of my head seems to make the pain break up quicker if one happens.

By about 8:00 or so, that episode seemed to be done.. so we celebrated with a quick ice cream run. Oh Izzy's, how I love you.

Next up - Thursday!
