my grain

Last week my head started pounding so bad I could hardly stand it. I went to bed even though it wasn't bedtime. I laid on my side and then I laid on my back. I curled up in a little ball. My pounding headache even made me sick to my stomach. Finally I was able to get to sleep and by the next morning the headache was gone. Almost. There was still a little achy feeling left deep in the tissues of my brain. I said a little prayer that it would not come back and it didn't.

I'm not weepy anymore. That stage lasted probably two weeks. After the doctor gave him the shots to put him to sleep, we wrapped him in his puppy blanket and placed him into a pine box that Hubby lovingly nailed together the night before. We buried him in our backyard under the triple cedar tree, his favorite. I still miss him like crazy.
I don't miss subbing. I have been keeping very busy with my walking and working out routine at the Y. And reading lots of nonfiction: I'm finishing up The Hot Zone now.

 
The cedar tree where Sam is buried. This is an old pic I found on the blog. Its September now, no snow yet! It gets little blue berries in the fall and the birds have a heyday stripping them when they appear. In a couple of days, the berries are gone!
