Yesterday, I woke up with a headache. Took some Aleve and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 8:30 (when I have to leave for work), decided my headache had taken a detour for Migraine City and called in sick for work. Five minutes later I texted Denise: “Home w/ migraine. Tell me it’s [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...So! Over the weekend I had an email from a local deal of the day site with an offer for $20 worth of goodies from the spice shop for $10.
