It's been a while and our vacation is finally here but so far it's been rainy and I've had this nerve pain in my head. I got an MRI on Tuesday,then went back to see Dr. Hoffen. he says he thinks its "trigeminal neuralgia" Not a fun vacation, although it's been great having Carole and Harry here. Learned how to play  new card game.

Yesterday we took our Libby dog to the humane society to be put to sleep. I don't think she really understood what was happening and Jan had given her a sedative so she was a little sleepy, but it was hard. To say goodbye to a pet that has lived with you for 13 years is very sad. I can only hope that she is in a better place with Sammy and Uncle Bill and that we will all be together.

“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?


it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”

— Warsan Shire
