No Strings Attached

I had one of those headaches that I could feel in my teeth and my neck. Focus wasn’t happening so it was good that it really struck after I made dinner.

I get a variety of headaches. I have for more years than I care count. I occasionally have migraines that send me to a dark quiet room for a time. I get sinus headaches especially during allergy season. Tension headaches are not unusual.

This one is a bit unusual. My tinnitus is at full ring which means I really have to focus to hear what people are saying. I’m not down to practically lip reading yet. And the pounding pain in my head is such that it is hard to focus. Sleeping last night was an adventure but eventually I did finally do so. I awoke this morning still with a headache but nothing as sever as it was last night, which I don’t care to repeat ever again. So going to take today kind of slow and see if there is something over the counter that can counteract this pain. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the pressure change in the weather.

Caroline had her moving up to middle school ceremony on Monday. She earned a Presidential Educational Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement that came with a certificate and a neat pin. I am very proud of her. She has worked very hard at her schoolwork. She gets her homework done in a timely fashion and I rarely have to prod her to do so. Her habit is get home from school, play for about half an hour to unwind and then homework that she gets done before dinner. She had proven that she is really good at memorization and is a good essay writer. She has the tools she needs already in place to help her with her future in school. I would like to also thank all her teachers who helped her to achieve these skills through all their hard work with the children. She was at the perfect school for her.

I have been watching the World Cup and there have been some good games and some real head scratchers. The jokes about the bets and the outcomes almost seem like reality. It is interesting to see that when the World Cup is in South America, those teams do better and when in Europe those teams do better. Best joke I have heard so far is
Q: What’s the difference between a tea bag and England?
A: A tea bag stays longer in the cup
(Said with apologies to England who had some weird calls made against them and other calls not made when they should have been.)

That the Mets are 5 games out of first just tells you how much of a mess that division is.

I am grateful for peace.
