Project Update: Good Health

Is that what I called this project? I don't remember, and don't feel like looking it up. So I guess I didn't blog about starting the feverfew? I looked back and couldn't find it. Quick review then, mom and I were talking about my migraines during my last one, about a month ago. We thought it would be worth it for me to try feverfew . It's an herb. It's natural. I bought some at GNC and started taking one pill twice a day. The pills are 380mg each. I stopped taking the verapamil. This all took place about a month ago. I don't remember when exactly. Since then, I have had some headaches, but I take ibuprofen and they go away, or at least stay under control. The worst headache I've had since I started the feverfew was a sinus headache a few days ago. And it really was just a sinus headache. Today I'm having some icepicks . I ate breakfast and I'm drinking some green tea. I will take ibuprofen in a little while if I have any more. Wait. Strike...

The Adventures of Rembrandt: Neighbors

So Jason sent me a text. I seems our new neighbors decided to get a puppy. Which of course means Rembrandt had to go make friends with said pup. So we're back where we started. And I cannot handle Remy constantly jumping over there while J is gone. So I'm back to the fence. I can get 6 ft tall wooden fence posts at Lowes, and 2 ft. x 8 ft. wooden lattice. All in all, I think I can do it for $50 to $60 bucks. The hardest part will be getting the fence posts in the ground. Hmm, Maybe I should go with the 8 ft posts so I have enough to stick in the ground. *sigh* Yeah. Oh, Kristy, if you read this, Could I maybe borrow a shovel? Maybe I should just buy a shovel. Probably not a bad thing to own. Yeah. Just. Yeah. 

Dogs Will Be Dogs

Remy and I were doing good on our 4 miles this morning. He was behaving and we had a great pace going. As we ran past Pershing gate, a couple of stray pit bulls came up to us, one brown, one white. I always stop when a dog approaches us, in case it's owner is right behind trying to catch it. So we stopped. The dogs started sniffing each other. It was OK, and I was going to try to get them to follow us home so I could call animal control. But they started nipping at Remy and trying to push him around. Remy didn't like that. I didn't like that. It took a little, but I was able to smack both the bulls and they realized I wasn't backing down. Another runner came over to help, a mom pushing a double stroller stopped to help, and a third guy showed up as animal control pulled over. The first runner and I worked on wrangling the bulls over to the AC officer, and the mom held Remy for me. The white bull was smaller and I could grab his scruff and hold him. The brown one wou...
