I taught (Computers to Adults) in Haslett Monday night and by the time I was leaving the room I had a major headache. That’s the third week I’ve had this happen in that room.

This time I got home and I had only enough energy to eat dinner that Brian made and fall asleep on the couch. Significantly before Midnight. When I usually stay up till at least 1:30am.

I slept until 10:40. (I awoke once at 8:30 but my head still hurt so I went back to sleep.) The elephant is no longer standing on my head, but there is a sort of shadow of the pain and I need to move slowly. I’m drinking some strong tea which can be miracle stuff for this sort of pain, and I will go get spicy chicken from Altu’s restaurant for lunch. That stuff is serious medicine, with garlic and ginger and spices… all healing stuff.

I am really in crunch time. On Saturday I’m selling my yarns at Threadbear Fiberarts (there will be several vendors there including my friend Trish Bloom). I do have one full bin of Cushy Colorsport, ready to go. And I’ve had about 3 dozen skeins of sockyarn skeined up and ready to dye, for far too long… but my life has been fairly complicated and I have not found time for dyeing. I was going to start with it last night so I’d have dry yarn today to skein up when my helper comes.

However, I’m not in charge of many things. I needed a “sick day” and I took one. The timing was not good, but health comes first. I’ll do what I can today. And I’ll have yarn Saturday, though I don’t know how much I’ll have. If I have time, I’ll bring some handpainted sweaters as well. That was the plan but now we will see.

Off to take a long hot bath. That is the best medicine I know. Then food from Altu. On the way home I’ll get an allergy shot, and then I’ll go at the work. Sort of like rebooting the computer, isn’t it?
