Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it. Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...
I am glad to report that, despite a rather sleepless night, my headache is gone! Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had a sleepless night but I'm glad the headache is gone.
DeleteWhen I get bad headaches the only thing that helps is sleep, which isn't great when it hurts too bad to sleep. I just lay perfectly still in a dark room and hope for the best. I used to get migraines that would have me sick to my stomach, but luckily I haven't had a full blown migraine for years.
ReplyDeleteThose are the worst, especially when you're in the dark and quiet and it's STILL too loud. Ugh.
DeleteI'm so glad to hear the headache is gone! Hopefully more sleep tonight and the Mr will be feeling back to normal.
ReplyDeleteI can't lie....that goofy movie makes me laugh every time!!
I'm encouraging him to take a half day but I'm a bad influence.
DeleteMakes me laugh too. So raunchy and stupid but perfect when you need something mindless to make you laugh.
Oy, do I know headaches. When it gets to that bad of a stage, nothing helps but riding it out. If I am able to catch it in time, what seems to help is an ice-cold rag on the top of my head, but a heating pad around my neck to keep me from tensing too much. Crazy, I know, but it has occasionally helped. I'm to the point now that if I'm dehydrated and the head is just pounding, it'll cause me to vomit. And that is so much worse because then it's all the pressure from that on top of the migraine! My sympathies go out to him because it's an awful feeling to have a sledgehammer throbbing throughout your head. Hope he's feeling much better today.
