I wake up before daylight with a crunching headache, the worst I've have experienced in awhile.  I attempt to sink my body into the bed, my face into the pillow, hoping that I can somehow crawl out from under this unwanted pain.  I can't seem to escape it, though the intensity has lessened by the time I get out of bed.

Again I drive Andy to daycare, and with time to spare before my next engagements, enjoy a hearty breakfast at Cleveland Lunch.  The Board meeting is over by noon, but I stay for lunch since I've already paid my $8.  I make an appearance at the library and then spend the rest of the afternoon preparing a special dinner in celebration of JoAnna's birthday.  She loves her gifts, squeals with delight repeatedly as she pages through the calendar.  Unfortunately, I am unable to spend the entire evening with  her.  With Sharon out sick, I have to return to the library from 7:45 to closing.

Andy and I stop at the library so I can inspect how well -- or poorly -- the rug has been vacuumed and pick up my materials for the LSCA reviewers workshop at the Concourse.   The rug looks fine, especially considering all the debris left behind the previous day.

After escorting Andy to the Puffin Room, I park the car in the McCormick ramp and then walk to Cleveland Lunch, picking up three newspapers along the way.  I order the usual:  ham and cheese omelet, American fries, bran toast, and coffee.  The waitress could have been Roseanne's retarded kid sister.

The LSCA workshop is informative.  Now to find time to review the 18 proposals.

Back at the library after a stop at Techline, I tread water until 6.  JoAnna and I are both beat, but Eddie won't let us go to bed as early as we'd like him.
