The temp is supposed to reach the upper 70’s today, edging its way into the 80’s tomorrow, and climaxing on Saturday with sunny skies and a temp approaching 90.
The last part of that sentence made me feel all hyper and giddy.
Water temps are hovering around 65 degrees. Still chilly, but maybe with temps near 90 on Saturday, there is a strong possibility that I might just get my pasty white body into the water…..it there is any degree of surf at all.
In other news, I have been experiencing these horrible, one sided headaches from time to time. They feel like my nerves on my scalp and down my face are on fire and that little men are inside my head, pushing outward on my skull while stomping on my brain. I have been getting them for some time now, and recently have been doing some detective work to find their cause.
I do believe I have finally figured it out…..I get them each and every time I drink Starbucks coffee. Yup. I drink coffee at home (organic, fair trade, shade grown Ruta Maya) and never get the headaches, but within hours of a Starbucks doppio compana espresso, the left side of my head is in agony. The headache lasts all afternoon, through the night and into the next day. It is most certainly the Starbucks.
Which leaves me to wonder why? Is it the way they process the coffee? Maybe the chemicals and poisons used on the coffee plants?
Or is it the freaky, frisky barista who made my espresso yesterday. When I asked for just a very small dollop of whip cream, he danced over and handed me the cup and said “You got it! I’ve got your backside covered, literally and figuratively”, and then he winked and used his hand to shoot at me with an imaginary pistol. Oh baby….not.
When I told Bill about his little weird display, he said “What the hell was that about?” and I replied, “Not sure, maybe one too many espresso shots…..but I think I need you to do that little wink and some pistol action, baby”.
Anyhow, I won’t be buying any more coffee from Starbucks.
I much prefer to brew my own cup and wander out to the hammock for some solitude.
Well, my own version of solitue that has several kids and a dog piling into it with me.
**update…headache is now gone…and the comment glitch that I had is gone too, so comments and page scrolling are working again. Sorry dudes. Dang, how long was it like this??? I was thinking no one liked me anymore. (sniff)
**I was hacked. One of the themes I had uploaded had an “archives” file that was diverting all of my comments and archives into neverland. I found the file, it is deleted, and all is right with the world again.
It was 80° here in Fort Worth yesterday. Heaven!
I am so glad you found the glitch. I noticed it yesterday, and was too lazy to email you about it. JK. By the way, I think the guy at Starbucks is putting stuff in your coffee. Maybe he was the one who hacked the website. PEP PILLS!!
Yikes. That stinks.
and um… for the temperature thing…
PBBBBLLLLT.
That’s all I have to say about that.
*grin*
Interesting, I had the same thing with Starbucks.
I bought a bag of their bean coffee, but every time I brewed some and had a cup I too suffered from a severe headache. Took me a while but I finally figured it out too.
Glad you figured it out.
By the way, we got into the 30’s today in Minnesota, wooohoooo.
When we come out this year, I’ll bring you some Coatepec beans. They aren’t organic, but they’re not grown with pesticides either. Lots of banana trees for shade though.
