Dreary Day

It was really overcast this morning again when I got up and it never did get much better although later on in the afternoon the sun did make an appearance between clouds.

I did go outside for a while when I took the recycling out to the container and also the kitchen recyclables out to the composter. I managed to pull out just about all of the remaining mole plants although I am sure that twice that many will soon take their place.

This afternoon I sat around most of the time although I did go through several magazines and tore out the pages that I wanted to keep and recycled the rest of the magazines.

Kathleen left around 1500 to meet with one of the ladies from church and I went upstairs to try and take a nap and try to loose my headache but no such luck. My mind kept running though the things that needed to get done and if I did not do them they do not get done.

So after trying for a while I finally got up and went outside and dug out a shrub that had started to grow alongside of one of our climbing roses along the fence west of the driveway. I am pretty sure that I cut it down a few years ago but this time I tried to dig out as much of the root as possible.

Once I had the shrub out I could see several dead branches on the rose so I pruned them off and also several suckers that I try to keep cut off. While I had the area cleaned up a little I was able to see several fir cones that I picked up and put in a bucket to take back and grind up in my chipper when I get around to it.

Well, my headache has not gotten any better; it did not bother me as much while I was working outside but now that I have stopped it has really started bothering me again. I am not sure what has been causing them but they are really annoying and can get rather intense at times.

I wonder if they are sinus headaches. People who don't get headaches don't realize how debilitating they can be.

Sometimes caffeine helps get rid of a sinus headache. Otherwise, I have to resort to pseudoephedrine.

I hope you are feeling better today.

I feel a little better this morning but then I usually feel better in the morning especially when I can keep busy. Unfortunately in the afternoon and evening when I am not able to keep as busy, maybe I just notice it more when I am not able to distract myself some other way.

I might have to resort to pseudoephedrine even though my doctor does not like me to use it; not good for my blood pressure.
