Yesterday was a quiet reflective sort of day. The weather, grey and blustery with intermittent downpours , adds to the mood. But really the day was made even more so by the stabbing pain of a migraine behind my eye. On days like this (rare as they are) having it be a quiet reflective day means it was the best day possible given the circumstances. I resigned myself to lay in bed all day. My mind set adrift on the tides of idleness .. floating in and out. Fits of sleep disturbed by awkward dreams spent reliving missed opportunities. The half remembered remnants then toyed with from different angles in the waking stages of my repose. Each approach revealing even clearer what a total and complete dork I am. the headache is now gone but not the shame. *Hanging and shaking my head dramatically*. Okay. Okay. I'm not really as down on myself as it might sound. I can only laugh and hope that next time I get to talk to people I am not wearing the dunce cap.

Definition of the Day: a Dunce Cap is a conical cap formerly used as a punishment for slow learners at school.**Vicci goes down an unexpected rabbit hole at this point in writing when she did a little research into the origin of the Dunce Cap and learned that wearing it initially related to wisdom and magic.. like Merlyn. Perhaps she should wear it when she talks to people after all. hmmm... Bookmarking the life and works of an early Scottish Catholic priest named John Duns Scotus (the caps namesake) to study later, Vicci returns her attention here.************

The headache is mostly gone now, thank goodness. and I am returning to the matters at hand. My rash has almost completely disappeared. Yay! The septic work didn't go as anticipated but the leak has been halted. I still need to get a plumber out to weld up one last copper spot. But what a relief it is to have that be finished. No more hauling sludge. I have sent out a couple job inquiries and am waiting to hear back. All of my chores are wrapping up and getting done. After finishing this post I am going to bundle up from head to toe to go outside and get the yard season ready, if it isn't raining.

In other news, Willow continues to have stomach issues. So much so that she is unable to work and she left her job once again. She went to the dr. and had ALL possible diagnostic blood/sample work done. There are no indications of parasites, or cancer. or pancreatitis, or or or. Nothing. She now is on an elimination routine starting with dairy and then moving to gluten. She swears that can't be it. That it has nothing to do with what she is eating. And I am going to guess that she wont actually do as she has been directed. It seems she has learned nothing from my journey and she refuses to hear anything on the topic from anyone. I guess some things you need to learn yourself the hard way. On the other side of the Willow coin, she and the bf are having serious move in discussions and have set June 1 as their anticipated move in. Tomorrow I am joining them in looking at a place. There is excitement in the air as décor ideas are bouncing back and forth.

That about covers the news here for now. Everything else is coasting along nicely. Im happy we don't live in Florida.
