Entries from August 2006 ↓

The boyfriend just took a job at an artisan bakery here in town. He gets a free loaf of bread every day that he works. Confidential to my ass: Shall we just surrender?

I just turned around to see Tootie enter the room wearing Cooper like a saddle.

Those dogs make me laugh. And really, who could ask for more from their pets?

How I spent my day. MRIs aren’t much fun.

The headache is still there. Still. I daydream of cutting my head off.

To see Cooper sleeping in the floor beside me, eyes half open, his paws crossed,  dreaming of squirrels and belly rubs, is a joy. When he stretches he moos like a cow. The rough patches on his elbows from sleeping on rough wood and concrete night after night are almost healed. He is lovely, and I love him so much already.

My headache is now in its sixth day. It’s almost hard to imagine what life was like before last Thursday, when the pain erupted suddenly then hung on for the long haul.

I see my doctor at 1:40 p.m. today. Cross your fingers that there will be some relief. I’d take a shot in the eyeball if it meant it would go away.

Not so easy with a headache now in its fourth day.

I have had a headache now for 17 hours. At what point do you stop calling it a headache and drive yourself to the doctor with a suspected aneurysm?
