Breaking All the Rules

Can dogs even get headaches?
In all the years since I can remember, Linda has rarely missed a Wednesday night church service.  Of course she loves going and does not do it for any reason except that she truly wants to be there.  But she also has these rules she keeps because she likes structure.  Wednesday night is church night. You don't miss Wednesday night unless you are contagious or on vacation.  If she makes a rule, she has to keep it.  (I know, very black and white.. she has been accused many times before.)   One time she was sick and still wanted to go to her home group meeting.  Her deacon made her stay home just so she would have to break her rules!  Ha!!  Anyway, Linda is staying home tonight.  She has the worst headache, even to the point where she kind of had tunnel vision driving home this evening.  It was one of those times when you don't remember getting from point A to point B and even the light hurts your eyes.  The minute she eased into the tub, the doorbell started ringing and someone was knocking.   Since neither Chim nor I barked, it was probably someone she knows but she wasn't getting out and answering it in her robe anyway.  She thinks the headache is a mix of dehydration from last night and today mixed with lack of sleep.  Good night.
