Another IT finally happened. I got a migraine, a really bad one. I stayed sick all day today with a terrible headache and sick to my stomach. That is all bad enough in itself, but combined with the jerking in this truck and just the movement, I have been miserable all day. We are between Champaign and Normal Illinois in a town called Le Roy at a Pilot truck stop. We have been here since midday yesterday. I slept most of the day. We drove to a couple of Kenworth dealers to have an adjustment made to the truck, but the one that was open 24/7 closed at 5:00 p.m. and was closed on Sunday. Not sure how that falls into the "open 24/7" schedule, but that's the way it is. A lot of driving for nothing and I was feelilng so great, I thoroughly enjoyed the riding. We drove past Chicago and I got a couple of pictures, O'Hare Airport and these neat little things called an Oasis. They cross over the Interstate in different places and they have all kinds of little fast food restaurants in them and you sit in a clear tunnel over the Interstate. Not exactly sure of the purpose, but not something we have at home. Of course, the one I took a picture of did not have much in it.
We came to the truck stop and they had a little local restaurant across the street called Jack's Cafe. We decided to give it a try. Very nice little place. Of course, Bigfoot had an omelet and I had a taco salad. It was all very good. Though, to add to my misery, some family came in with a screaming 2 year old and they just let him scream at the table. Sigh.
We set up the Big Rig Cineplex 1 again and downloaded a movie from Netflix. The Netflix "watch online now" selections were pretty slim. We decided to watch Superbad. Should have been called Superstupidwhatawasteoftimeanddatatransfer.
Bigfoot took a few pictures while I was out with Sparkle. They are pretty bad, but I include one here just to prove that I don't sleep constantly. I also snapped a couple of Bigfoot and Sparkle.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be better all the way around. We are leaving around noon to go to Kraft for our pick up and then off to Pennsylvania.

FINALLY learned how to post, only took 11 days :)
I knew something was wrong when we talked this AM -- I am sorry you have felt so bad. I mentioned migraines at dance last night and Maureen's bf said "drink Gatorade, it will stop migraines" I said due to caffeine? No, and it doesn't matter which "flavor", any Gatorade will do -- He says it stops his!!!
Off to beddy bye -- hope you are all better by now. Did you take Bonine with you?
Good morning
I hope you're feeling better by now. I cannot imagine having a migraine driving in a truck. YIKES!
Call me when you can, let me know how you're doing k? I called yesterday but maybe you guys were sleeping.
