Migraines, Sunburns & Bad Dogs, Oh My!

I apologize for taking so long to make a decent post. Things have been quite hectic around this place.

So anyway... yesterday we picked up my Mom and took her around to a bunch of yard sales. The town I live in was having their annual community day celebration and everyone got together to have sales. They also had a BBQ, a parade, and fireworks, but we didn't go to those.

Why?

Well, the sun and I just do NOT get along! I ended up getting a migraine about 3 quarters of the way through. Plus my feet & back were KILLING me, because 1.) I fell last week and hurt my back, and 2.) I wore flip-flops instead of sneakers to do all of that walking in!  I stuck it out, though, because my Mom never gets to go out to sales like that very often and I just didn't have the heart to ruin her fun.

Yadda, yadda... we stopped at the grocery store on the way back to her place and got some sandwiches for lunch. My head was still hurting after we ate, (did I mention that my feet were KILLING me?) so I went and took a nap for about an hour.

When I woke up and walked into the living room, they were all looking at me and going; "You got burned!" Loverly. I have very pale, very sensitive skin, so a sunburn isn't something I want, believe me!

So here I am, fighting a migraine, back and feet killing me, looking like a lobster, and feeling totally "blah," when I decide that I should probably go home and check on our dog and cat, as it was VERY hot yesterday and they were at home alone.

I get home and I take the dog outside, feed her and the indoor cat, and head outside again to feed the outdoor cat.

Quicker than lighting, the dog darts out the door and takes off on a dead run. Talk about major panic! (We live near a high-traffic road!)

Now I am fighting a migraine, back and feet killing me, looking like a lobster, feeling totally blah, and yelling/chasing after a dog with a big ol' bag of cat food in my hand!

Let me tell you... this dog can run... FAST! Half the neighborhood was trying to help me catch her, and I was getting closer and closer to a total meltdown.

She ran all up and down this street and the two streets on both sides of us and then over to the creek, before she FINALLY came back to me! And the whole time she was running, I could swear she was laughing her ass off! You could just see the "ha-ha, you can't catch me" expression on her face!

So yeah... that was my day yesterday... I should have stayed in bed.
