Great Start To The Day

 I got up early this morning. Well, early for a Saturday, 7am.

I did laundry and had breakfast. It took a long time to make toast and boil water as the breaker kept dropping. It looks like I'll have to get that changed before we put in air conditioners.

After messing with that, I was on a roll. Cleaned up, made cookies, put the rice on to cook, went shopping, came back and made a good lunch.  I managed to get some vegetables at a decent price, so I did a couple of different salads!  While I was cooking, I got Christopher to run the vacuum.

I was feeling very pleased with myself.

But after lunch, things went downhill rather fast.

It started with the most awful headache. I took some painkiller, which helped a bit.

I couldn't figure out why the medicine wasn't more effective. The past week, I've had headaches almost every day. My allergies are very bad; the medicine I take for that gives me headaches, plus my sinuses feel heavy. 

But today the painkiller didn't help that much. I tried closing my eyes for a bit, but woke up with my head still pounding.

Turns out the air pressure was very low, about 960 hPa. And now we have a thunderstorm, just writing this I've screamed a couple of times. The lightning is close, a bit scary!

I hope this passes soon. I know that Mama Cat and Fluffy will be hiding somewhere. 

Outside during the storm, you can't see the mountains

The storm has finished, and you can see the mountains again
