I have a bad headache this morning.

Yesterday I was about 10 minutes late to work and I couldn't even blame it on Ray--he was home in bed! I spent most of the time working on taxes and insurance, not fun. but I left at 2 and came on home to work in the yard for a bit before Ray and I headed to Amber's to babysit her two little ones while she went to a meeting. It was less than 2 hours and we enjoyed it. Ray mostly played with Calvin, the older child, racing cars and being boys. I played with Lila, who took a while to warm up to me. First she cried when her Mom left. Then she sat and looked at me distrustfully, but eventually we had fun. I was reading stories loud while she was crying, holding out fruit snacks to bribe her. We played put the cars in the box of blocks, build towers and knock them down. After a while, she started asking "more," using words and sign language, wanting me to keep giving her fruit snacks. She fell down, stepping on a toy car, and started crying again. I picked her up and sat down with her and she calmed down. We sat and watched the boys a little, Ray giving her snacks. Somehow she managed to pee on my lap right through her diaper. I changed her, but not myself.

Ray and I drove downtown to have supper with Janna and Ron and Becky and Kent at an Italian restaurant we had never been to before. Really good! and we had a great time. Except I had this headache. I took two pain relievers (a lot for me) and it mostly went away long enough for me to eat a little lasagna and panna cotta. But it was back by the time we got home and I took an Advil migraine pill, which usually does the job for me.

It has been really cool here (43 this morning), which I like, but maybe there is some weird pressure thing going on. I am trying a little food and hoping it will go away. Maybe a walk will help.
