    Doc gave me something called Elavil to try for headaches. Waking up this morning up this morning without a headache.
    Whip delivers today. I hope.
    Solid WI yesterday. Now to get through week without blowing the progress.
    SGM - sounds like you have a lot of help but things are moving forward in positive direction. I’m sure it’s hard. Hang in there.

    Cheers

    Mornin' BBB

    Amitriptyline. Very familiar with that drug. It has many indications for usage. Hope it does the trick for the headaches, Skip. If it is the answer, then that helps with diagnosing the cause of the headache.
    I am super sodium sensitive, Mary. I gets swollen hands and feets with overzealous salting of restaurant food. Salt and butter is the mantra of many chefs. I had a crock of french onion soup au gratin the other night, it was so good and hit the spot, but boy, did I puff up.
    Congrats to the losers!
    Time to make the donuts.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I'm cooking our early Thanksgiving feast today. I have it planned out pretty well, to reduce any stress level.

    Yesterday, someone hit our parked car, again. We found a hole torn in the front bumper with a bolted metal bracket stuck in it and a piece of torn strapping still hanging out. No note, of course. Bumpers used to be an easy fix, but all the sensors and radar now push the cost way up. I am proud of the fact I did not fly off the handle at the discovery. Mister Mellow, that's me. I'll call USAA this morning. Out another deductible.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • I got to sleep in for the first time in a week. Life is good.
    • Good news about wakening pain free.
    • Bad news on the bumper. That sux.
    • Success yesterday at the VA getting my hearing aids working properly.
    • We are in cruise prep mode. I've been given the task of checking on luggage restrictions. We have an international flight and a domestic flight.
    • Have a great weekend BBB.

    Good morning.

    Sorry about the car, Dave. Not a fun thing to have to deal with.

    Apparently, I'm a dog dad now. Cecilia was going to meet a lady whose moving out of country to see if her dog would be a good match and decided he was on the spot. So I came home to the punim last night.

    He is adorable Lou. Congrats.

    Glad the meds helped last night. New vehicle arrival should help too.

    I used just over half of my weeklies yesterday...pancake breakfast followed by happy hour/lunch out with coworkers. Only other planned event is parrothead meet-up on Monday. I plan for one margarita and 2 shots of Bacanora. If I have rollovers from this weekend maybe lunch too but plan to eat at home...it's easier.

    Today off to the farmers market and then a hike.

    Ugh, sorry about headache and vehicle, Skip.
    Dave, where did the damage happen this time? That is just maddening. My head would have exploded.
    Congrats Lou! Cute lil' thang. Probably good the pup is yours now, I see the previous owner took the dog to Banfield for its Rabies booster. I would suggest finding a different vet. This guy is not a fan of Banfield. People think it is cheaper and more convenient, but they tend to try and sell a lot of unnecessary crap to you.
