fflo | Ugh, the headache's back.

I had 2 days without it, but woke up with it again today. Or maybe it's a different headache. My eyeballs hurt, which is new.

Think I overdid it yesterday. Went out for errands. Had a sneezing/histamine resurgence in the evening.

My neck hasn't stopped with the soreness. It seems unhappier today holding up an aching head. My shoulders are even complaining about it.

Gonna try caffeine and maybe a Tylenol. Been avoiding those---only had 1 so far. But I bought the bottle, and I'm gonna ask my liver to deal. Caffeine & Tylenol is 2/3 of an Excedrin, leaving out the NSAID.

When I first got up I thought I might have a fever, but I think it was just being under the covers and having forgotten to turn the heat down last night.

In the big wind storm yesterday, the old mostly-dead apple tree in my back yard fell. It did land on the fence a little. Will I deal with the backyard next year? I think it could be worth saving up money for. A new deck, the land cleared out, and a proper fence, while shoring up the grandfathered-in old rickety one, and maybe I'd feel like getting a dog again. New deck alone, tho, with some partial clearing, could be worthwhile. I could design the deck, too. I realized that only when Tony said the deck builders who made theirs wanted design instructions from him. He wasn't inclined to want to design it, and that's when I realized I'd want to design one, given the means & opportunity.

It's really not a lot of the year it's appealing to hang out in the yard here. A large portion of the daylight part of the short summer is mosquitoes. Don't want a manicured yard with suburban anti-mosquito measures. But I can see hanging out on a nice new deck after the mosquitoes go to bed.

Googled yesterday about turning oneself into a morning person. Imagining hanging out outside more when the rest of the neighborhood's asleep (I do like to walk down the street and back when their lights are all out) is a sign that I didn't internalize that morning-person goal real well.

Right now I just want this headache to go away again.
