....

The headache continues, nonstop. I am so tired of hurting I can't see straight. More ibuprofen, more salt water, still hurts. Will see my primary care doc tomorrow, and will ask her opinion. 


Headache went from a 6 to a 9 this morning after going to my hair stylist and the first thing she told me was that her Yorkie, Simon, had his eye punctured in a scuffle with another dog last night, and he had to have the eye removed. I started crying, and kept tearing up during the whole appointment. We're good friends, and I know how much she loves this pup. It's such a traumatic thing to have happen, and it's so permanent. A bone or laceration can heal, but an eye is irreplaceable. On the upside, she's already joking about cute hairstyles and eye patches, and new nicknames she'll be able to use. 


Food Ratings: 


Crispy Cereal:  6 
I'll take a pass on this one in future orders. The crunch was nice, but it was boring. I'm not a milk person anyway, and when I have cereal I just put in enough milk to wet things down, and throw away any extra. I was not inspired to drink all of the leftover "milk," so I didn't get much out of it. 


Tomato and Basil Soup:  3
I had high hopes for this one, because this is one of my go-to non-diet lunchtime soups. But, alas, this one is boring to the extreme. So many of the other IP meals have strong flavor, but this reminded me of salmon-colored water with green bits floating in it. There is a gazpacho recipe out on the net that looks interesting using this soup. I might eventually give it another shot and try that recipe. I confess I didn't finish this meal, either. Good thing I had leftover roasted vegies from last night, and a nice salad. 


Raspberry Gelatin:  8 
Tastes like Jello, which isn't a bad thing if one likes Jello. Jello can be fun to see, a slowly eaten treat, and I enjoyed every gelatinous drop.
