It is snowing like crazy here, right now. It started as sleety slush blah, but has been snowing pretty heavily for a while. The last time I saw the weather report (last night) it was supposed to be a mix of both. Dh just went out in the snow to buy beef stew fixings. I kind of wish he hadn't. I didn't realize how quickly it had accumulated.

It's very pretty, though.

We are doing mounds of laundry and trying to get the energy to go to the grocery store, so we have supplies for staying in during the Worst!Storm!Ever tonight. Poor BF had to go to work an hour after we got back on Tuesday and has had three 10-hour shooting days in a row. (Although they were at the car show with lots of cool machines to play with, so not SO bad.) He's wiped. I'm semi-wiped. A cold rainy day is a good day to stay in and clean and watch old movies.

Hi, ita. I share your increased migrainitude. I wonder if it's the weather.

And why is it that I get to choose between migraine and stupidity? Even the migraine drugs that aren't officially pain-killers make me dumb. They dump me from the migraine into the post-migraine haze. Which beats the pain, but still.

Still raining down here. What a craptacular day.

It's weird -- either Imitrex makes it all go away, or does nothing.

For a while last night, the headache and nausea disappeared, and I was hopefully. But dear lord, was my neck sore! About an hour later the nausea, headache and general fuzz returned, and I couldn't feel the neck at all. Flexoril got me to sleep, and I have no pain today, but it's been, now that you mention it, a hair trigger not quite top of the world feeling during this heavy rain.

Betsy, in your case, I guess it really IS my friend's mantra of "No brain, no pain."

I am in pre-migraine nerve state myself. Not fun. I think it's less the rain than the air pressure (which often accompanies storms) that does it, but this theory is ENTIRELY pulled from my ass.

Huh.

I was all la, la, free day, let's write, walk the dog, watch some dvds before going out to dinner with a friend.

And then I got an email and remembered that I'm booked all afternoon for a periodic Buffy Marathon that I completely spaced on.

I might have time to walk the dog, but that's about it. Argh.

Robin, air pressure -- or the change thereof -- often triggers migraines for me.

I have a cooking question -- I know my bowls and most of my pots are nonreactive. What is reactive? Not plastic, pyrex, glass, ceramics, stainless steel -- what's left?

Also, why are metal mixing bowls so damned popular? The sound of metal on metal aches my teeth. Oxo has a line of plastic bowls that I like, but I could have bought a dozen sets of metal ones in the time it takes to find each of the Oxo three. Not to mention way too few pyrex ones along the way.

I did finally find cake flour. I needed to be in more expensive stores, it seemed. It would have taken forever to find anyway, if I hadn't been told a) box and b) picture of cake. Because that triggers cake mix for me. Still, it's odd to see so much baking sugar, and so little cake flour.
