Sunday...

Another week has flown by. The kids have 4 more days of school and each has an award ceremony they are invited to attend so that will be our Monday and Tuesday evenings. Friday, the 8th graders headed to Universal Studios in the afternoon where they close down the park and let the Middle School 8th graders take over the 2 parks until midnight. It sounds like they stayed with their adult for the first hour or two for dinner and then were released in their groups of kids for the rest of the night. Unfortunately - there was plenty of rain and thunder storms so all the outside rides (rollercoasters) were closed. The boys did have a good time though and were exhausted when the busses pulled into the school at 2AM Saturday. I think it is the first time I went below the speed limit on those roads to  school and back - rain puddling on roads and very dark.  My splitting headache started about then and finally went away around 3 the next afternoon. Greg took Em to horses and I took a nap in the morning. Turns out... our AC went out sometime Friday night and we had a service call to come take a look. The AC was fixed (wired rubbed together for a short) by mid afternoon and the blessed AC was running again. We are in Florida where the humidity and temps are now 'summer' so in the 90's F.
Saturday evening was a little more stitching on Endless Diamonds while watching the movie The Great Outdoors. I love John Candy movies. 

The back shows the quilting really well.  So far the double meds (advil and tylenol) are working to keep the headache in check today. This is month 3 of it happening.... so time to ask the OB about things to mitigate the headaches.  Any advise on the pre-menopause headaches? Must be a major change in hormones somehow causing it. The joys of getting older!

Such a busy time of year - fun for the kids, but exhausting for parents! I had those pre-menopause headaches, but wish I could tell you I knew the answer. Maybe your ob/gyn will have an idea for you. Enjoy a little slow-stitching today!

Your diamond quilting is beautiful top and back!
John Candy movies sure are great family fun!
I had the headaches too, and I just believed it was mother nature's way of saying "go lay in your bed and let the world go by". It didn't last long for me, so the pain was manageable. Hope it will be gone soon for you too!

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

Be happy you got rain--we did not get any here--only one small rain about 4 days ago--we are so dry here--brown grass is everywhere!!! But I don't want to complain--cause we may end up getting too much rain--soo???? I just feel bad for the plant life though!
The Endless quilt is coming along nicely--and I am sorry you are getting headaches--
hugs, di

After seeing the finished quilt in your header photo, I gasped at its beauty! I'm even more encouraged to finish mine up! Thank you for sharing!

I get those migraine headaches too--forget chocolate and try some good strong coffee--that usually helps me-- that and Aleve. Those headaches can be really debilitating for sure!! I end up going into a darkened room usually!!

Your quilting is looking really good...Glad you were able to get your AC fixed--I really don't know how we lived w/o our AC especially when it's humid...Hope you feel better...hugs, Julierose

I had those pre-menopause headaches also. I just remember using Advil or Aleve and finding a dark room. I did find a little relief with birth control pills prescribed by my GYN. Those headaches are definitely are not fun. So glad your AC is fixed. Here in New York, we have another month of school still. I love how your quilt is coming along. The quilting looks beautiful.
