headaches and heat

I've been fighting back a headache all day. This heat is the culprit, I think. Who would have guessed I would suffer migraines like my mom. Growing up I remember her taking naps with a cold washcloth on her head. "Mom has a headache so don't bother her," my dad would say. I never knew the pain that comes with headaches. And especially heat-related headaches - the ones I've been dealing with. It's the silent but deadly killer that starts out with a slight buzzing annoyance and then gets progressively worse. It's the type of pain that causes you to be nauseous and lose your appetite, and you find yourself squinting throughout the lifespan of the headache.

It's these dog days of summer I find myself tired, drained and unmotivated! I don't want to exercise or do anything but lie around the apartment and hang out with Luna. Just looking at her makes me smile, and smiling makes me feel better!


Just look at this precious face in the bluebonnets!

This picture was taken at Micah's lake house this past spring. I could hardly get her to sit still - she has way too much energy! 

This weekend I went to Corpus to spend a weekend with my family and we had a great time. Just when I think Luna can't be any funnier, she makes me laugh even harder. Todd was holding Roxy (our other white schnauzer) and saying "Oh, my sweet Roxy." He was cuddling her and Luna was having a fit! She was barking her head off. This wasn't your ordinary bark. It was a jealous bark where she would shake her head from right to left and act like it was causing her so much pain that she was not the center of attention. But you really had to be there! I can't adequately describe it.. Next time I will get it on camera! All I can say is that little girl keeps me in stitches!!!
