conuly | Poor Ana has a migraine.

They always seem to strike at night, but then again, she can be a trooper about them so it's hard to tell she is in pain unless she explicitly tells us. Poor baby came to my room last night for hugs, just missed her mother coming home.

She's staying home either for the whole day or until she feels better, depending on if she does feel better.

That's not the worst of it! Yesterday she had sushi, I picked it up special to make up for her having to go to McDonald's with her class, and she sat down, reached over to get it, knocked the entire thing all over the floor. She was amazingly composed and self-controlled about it, even though screaming or crying would have been enormously justified.

Poor her!
