I woke up just after 2:00 a.m. this “first day back after a holiday” morning with a headache. As usual, I couldn’t go back to sleep till about 10 minutes before the alarm. Then, I was hit with nausea. And one complication after another. I took a deep breath and started praying.
I know how easy it is for a bad morning to turn into a bad day, and I am not up for a “terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.” I can’t stop today; I need to smile and get things done. The nature photo challenge is just the panacea I need.
Today, I share tiny pinecones. I think they’re from the hemlock tree. These are the cutest! They’re about one half inch to one inch long.

This sounds not just like a headache but a serious migraine attack. Have you medicine for that? That kind of medicine you need to take early on and you need a prescription for. A colleague of mine suffers badly from migraine, she has special migraine pills. Not your over-the-counter-painkiller!

I used to get migraines quite regularly when I was in graduate school. This is not a migraine–thank God! It’s not as bad as it was a few days ago, but it’s still with me on and off.

Then it could be a kind of infection …

Indeed they are–and almost always when one simply has no time for the inconveniences!

Thanks, Laurie! The pinecones are really, really tiny. I had a bunch of them sitting on my desk for a little while. I enjoyed seeing them every day in my own space.
