Tuesday was a pain...today...is up for debate

[ianuk]

Well, the headache of doom(tm) hit me yesterday. It was not pleasant. I wonder how I managed to get myself home cause, yeah, I probably shouldn't have been driving. I almost fell asleep at kolb and valencia since I had to wait for the light. I got home and snuggled up on the couch and obsidian was all about that. Mel was weaving and watching Buffy. I fell into a dead sleep. I awoke sometime much later and mel was asking me if I wanted dinner. I wasn't sure about that proposition but started to get up. I moved my neck to pop it and it did a big "k-chunk" as it reset about all of my vertabrae in my neck. Hmmm...maybe that had something to do with the headache? It got better but I made sure not to move my head around too much. Mel left for practice after I had had some dinner. I then drove the truck to safeway to pick up a few things like fruit and yogurt. They had chx breast on sale and I will be grilling some of that up thursday I think. Carrots were a must since I was making my famous ginger, crockpot carrots for a pot luck today. I did pick up icecream since we were almost out and they had ben and gerry's Willie Nelson's Peach Cobbler. It sounded heavenly and when I got home I ate a bunch of it and felt even better. I snuggled up on the couch watching Dog, the Bounty Hunter, I have no idea why I like that show but I do. I continued to read more of Nightwatch and I'm a little thrown by the time style...but I'm coping. It tried to suck me in to read more but I had taken more drugs and some benedryl so I was out. I awoke briefly to tell mel about the icecream and that his b-day prezzie was on the bathroom counter. If you go to scribe_ari's user pics you'll see a carved bone laurel medallion..well that's it. My bro-in-law argent_lupin is finishing the viking woven chain for it so he should be all spiffed out by A&S. He was very surprised since I had already gotten him stuff (bike helmet, shoes and pedals) but I knew he wanted one and wouldn't get the time to work on one. I then fell back asleep.

I awoke this morning to mel kissing me awake which was weird. I think he thought I was more awake but all I had done was roll over. I got things going for the potluck dish and was out the door on time. I took a bunch of stuff this morning to head off a recursive headache. Its still kinda there and I'm not looking forward to that again. If it gets bad I will go home. Not sure what we are doing for mel's b-day tonight before the officer's meeting but I'm sure it will involve beer and food. Who knows. I just need to survive today.


1-2 bags of freshly peeled and chopped carrots (ready to eat are good too)
1/2-1 stick of butter (depends on how much carrots)
1/2-1 tbls Ginger powder and/or crystallized ginger
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
Fresh ground pepper

Place all of this in your crockpot. You can slow cook them for about 5-6 hours on LOW or you can make them in 3 hours or so on HIGH. I tend to get the first hour on HIGH and then turn them down.

Hope the head gets better. Tell Mel happy birthday for Becc and I. I ordered his stuff from Amazon last night and they should be there in about a week. Sorry they will be late, we were debating a couple of choices for things. Not to mention we were doing the 9th anniversary thing last week so things got a little side tracked. Have a good day.
