Along with the rest of the ground crew, I continued to slowly cart shingles, branches and whatever debris I could find to the curb. At break time, I ate my lunch too fast, and drank too much water. (Yes, my dear team members, it is possible to do that!)

Even though, I sat down and rested frequently, I managed to develop a head-squeezing ache that morphed into a migraine. Headed for a Burger King for bathroom break, I ended up having to ask Lynda to pull over on the side of the road near a highway exit ramp.

I got out and threw up, while still standing. That was a new experience. I did feel a little better, so I got back in the car. While waiting for the light to turn green, I threw up again. Only my head made it out of the car window that time. Blessings to Lynda and Alyssa for having to put up with that!

After dinner that night, as assignments were being discussed, someone suggested that maybe Lynda and I would like to do kitchen duty on Tuesday. I was all for that, in fact, we both loved the idea.
