Brief summary of the day:
6:45am, wake up to throbbing headache. Take meds.
9:30am, wake up to still throbbing headache. Get backrubs and neck stretches, have brekkie n'coffee, stagger around clutching at head, take shower and more meds. Vegas valiantly kneads my evil knots again. Ground is gained.
12:30pm, pack up fambly in car and drive to my brother's land for a family walk in the warm autumn sun. Headache receeds to a tolerable low throb. Yey! I can't feel my fingers though.
1:45pm, very stoned!
2pm, meet with the gang, hugs n'kisses, so lovely to see everyone again! Hate babies but the nephew is kinda cute. He made the grade for my photo model of the day (yes, you'll see the bugger in the snapshots blog soon). Dogs go nuts loose in the woods. Very nuts.
3pm, one of them finds the lake. Wet dirty dogs ensue.
3:45pm, time for fresh apples - thanks mom! and a trip to the little cemetary in front of my brother's land (he says they're awesome quiet neighbors, LOL). Dogs still running around like eejits, one of them finds a dino-sized rib bone in a bush. Snack snack.
4:30pm, time to go after being covered in drunken ladybugs. Have over 200 photos on my camera, I must have greedy shutter fingers.
4:45pm, stop at the local grain-fed chicken farm and get goodies for dinner, mmm. Thank goodness they had mini honey-glazed donuts, we were both crashing from a sugar low and it saved our butts.
Needless to say the dogs are now in a coma and we're both pretty drained from the day. I'll get to downloading and filtering through the pics tomorrow, tonight is for vegging out... still woozy from the crappy head (this weekend it's hormonal folks, nothing I can do but ride it out... damn PMS crap).
I feel so happy... had to reach out to my family (mom side of things) cuz things with my dad are shitty at the moment, and I just found out that he's doing this to just about everyone so it's not just me.
This is a long sore subject so I'll drop it here before writing a novel-sized rant.
Life is short - spend it with the people who love you for the right reasons. That's all I'll say about that.
PS: OK so this wasn't a brief recap. Too bad :-D

maybe ranting about it later will make you feel better?
Either way, you are right. Life is too short for a lot of things. It's too short to spend in a bad situation, and it's too short to not spend with the wonderful people that make life worth living :-)
Hope you and your pups are well rested.
You know I think I know something that could help you with your headaches.........it starts with "w", rhymes with "mead" and is legal in Amsterdam.
Yeah.........
Think about it............
Ohhhh you loose feeling in hands too? I thought that was only me. One of two things....painkillers/alcohol...bizarre!
Anyway, with exception of the wet dog portion, sounds like a good day.
Yay!
lol @ the peer pressure in the comment section. :D
Yey for pushing through the pain for an awesome day! Can't wait for pics. :)
Toughgirl, totally. And today is another gorgeous sunny day, tired or not we're going for it!
CD, when the hormonal migraines strike - no drugs (OTC or green, lol) help. Yes I've tried, haha! Just gotta plunder through it.
Myself, yep. Numbness! Just wish my nose would go numb on account of the wet stinky doggies though.
Prin, I have too many pics, don't know what to do with them. Argh! Filter, filter...
Frank, amazing what advil can do to people... *thunk*
it was a good day - amazed at how much land it's possible for regular peeps like us to own. Such a contrast to the UK - here it is possible to realise dreams of owning your own land. Roll on next year :)
Yes! By this time next year we should be walking under our own red maple trees in our back yard... *crosses fingers*
Wow sounds like a long crazy day. I am glad your headache finally went to a buzz, mine did around 5:30, but returned when it was time for bed. Damn head aches, why did God create this?
"Hate babies but the nephew is kinda cute."
hehe. i hear ya sistah. funny tho, when you say shit like that out loud people look at you all crazy!
LOL @ the stoned comment! Happy Thanksgiving Right!!!
Piper, I think headaches are rather from the devil's arse!
Voice, that's why I only write that stuff down... it doesn't pass my lips! LOL
Daring, no turkey in sight but am truly enjoying the day off. Yey!
