Brighter (wiser?)

Saturday Sky - yesterday afternoon from our street in Paris
It was a sunny, cloudless sky in 90-100 degree weather.
My headache didn't start until about 7:30, these pics were before that.
Last week - Willow in sunbeam
Critter blanket scraps - working on more.
critter blanket size guidelines from another charity drive
say 16x16 and 24x24 sizes are recc'd.
Project Spectrum purple July has begun!
Purple Kitty project
taking after calico kitty from May.
Sally underneath the desk in our main room,
caught in mid-slurp.
Note to self: During a coding spree, coffee is usually drunk by the potful. On the day after, two cups of green tea will not suffice to stave off the impending caffeine withdrawal headache.

I hope I learned my lesson. What would have been a (nearly) tolerable headache became ten times worse with the lack of caffeine - my eyes, ears, sinuses and entire skull were all 'singing' with painful vibrations. Intensity of sounds, smells and sensitivity to artificial light increased to make even sleeping difficult.

But, no matter how hard it gets - it is amazing how sweet a warm shower of clean plentiful water can feel - cutting out all other smells and sounds in a small dark room. Eventually, long after the water turns cold, the coffee, aspirin and quiet combine and I can stumble out and fall into bed while the rest of the tendrils of headache retreat during sleep.

Today I'm listening to PHC, drinking coffee, and working on the Purple Kitty out of some of the fabric Chris sent to me. Sally wants laptime, and Willow wants to play. I have lots of housework to get to, once Mr.J takes a walk(asthma). Hope you like the pictures! Have a good day!
