Headachy Kit. I got up about 6:30, stood in the shower for 10 minutes, and thought ‘I’ll lie down for just another few minutes,” but then I discovered that if I lay down, my head didn’t hurt, so I didn’t want to get up again. Ted got me some aspirin when he got up to bring the Jeep over to the mechanic. I have an awfully nice husband. So I took my aspirin and lay there another half hour or so and then dragged myself out of bed to come to work. So no writing so far today, though I’ll get to it. I need to go back to the chiro, because my back is still wonky and stiff (I’m pretty sure that’s why I’m getting headaches, which I’ve had for the last week, which is entirely unlike me). I pushed it too long without going, and now need more repair than I hoped for. I should learn to maintain. It’s less expensive. :P
Off to make some strawberry jam now, as Ted ate the last of ours yesterday and he reaaaaaally loves homemade strawberry jam. :) I believe that later in the summer I shall see about making some jellies. Strawberry and grape jelly, at least, and perhaps peach jelly, because boy I bet that would be pretty. :)
*laugh* Which reminds me. OH! And that reminds me of Frodo’s ring. Right, right, now that I’ve remembered, I’ll start at the beginning with the first reminder. The jam-making reminded me of when I bought the peaches for the peach jam I made. The kid at the store said, “That’s like $10 worth of peaches,” as a warning, when I went to buy them. I said, “Yep, I know, and soon it’ll be peach jam.” He said, “Oh,” and then said, “My grandmother makes that!” I thought that was pretty funny, as I’d never thought of jam-making as a grandmotherly pursuit. :) (In fact, I think of it as a Mom activity, since *my* mommy makes jams.)
The OTHER thing, what I’ve been meaning to write about for WEEKS, is that in the window at Hot Licks, there has been a sign saying, “Lost ring,” with a description of a dimond ring on it, for some time. Some enterprising soul , wrote, “Please contact Frodo, 1-800-ONE-RING” on it. Every time I see it it makes me giggle. :) :) :)
