“All family of us” as Lydia used to say, are packing up to hit the road. We are visiting friends in New Jersey. It is a twelve hour drive and we are driving through the night. Lydia has strep throat but shouldn’t be contagious by the time we pull in some time tomorrow morning.
I have had a headache almost every day for three weeks and that’s no metaphor. I have been looking furtively at the carbon monoxide detector which shows “0”. We bought it the last time I had a non stop headache which I later realized was due to giving up caffeine. When I am not drinking coffee, I am sucking on a Coke, so that’s not it this time.
All that to say I am feeling a little less than able to pack up my colleagues and drive through the night.
Mr. Brave Man just asked, “What are you doing?” so I think I better hurry.
Christopher wanted to bring his popcorn popper and Paul just denied him his tennis racket.
We are going to have so much fun.
I just need some drugs…something stronger than Tylenol…I’ve never tried cocaine, but I’ve heard it’s good.
Paul is sounding harried.
If you pray, please do. If you don’t, would it be so much skin off your nose? Please.
Did I mention we are going to have so much fun?
Einstein’s Protege is reading over my shoulder and questioning my intent regarding the aforementioned drugs.
Hope everyone is happy and well.
Have fun, be safe. Vaya con Dios. Travelling Mercies. Look forward to hearing all about it when you return. Joining in your requested prayer covering.
Ack. I hope the headache goes away. You should be in New Jersey by now. But I’ll pray anyway.
So sorry about the headaches, I know how that is 🙁 Is it maybe tension, do you grind your teeth at night? That’s my dentist’s new theory and he’s talked me into trying one of those bite thingys for at night. We’ll see.
Here (the Netherlands) I’ve found something that works better than Tylenol, but is still sold over the counter: Saridon. It’s paracetamol *and* caffeine.
I can’t send you virtual Saridon, but I’ll keep you and your colleagues in my prayers.
Have fun in Jersey! I grew up there, something only someone from New Jersey would admit 🙂
