I'd really like to have some sort of "shower" for her in a few weeks/months when she and H get resettled. They could register at BB&B or something and those close enough could actually housewarm in person while the rest of us send things to the party.

That's an excellent idea.

I'm thinking of making her something pretty (all these semi-precious beads around here should be put to good use, damn it!).

vw, you probably don't want to hear it right now, since you've already taken drugs, etc., but if you get migraines often, I would be happy to share what has (mostly) worked for me. Although, since b.org seems to be migraine central, probably others have just as good ideas. Mostly, {{{{{vw}}}}}

Jilli, I'm sorry you didn't get the job.

Susan, good luck! I hope you get some good news back soon.

I applied for a job at the UN yesterday. Today I downloaded an application for a Tacoma Community College distance learning job. Let no one say I'm not casting a wide net.

Oh, I used to be a migraine QUEEN. I just don't get them as often anymore. But it seems that when I do, they're bad. I need to get some actual drugs to take when I get them. I've tried what usual works for me, and this one's just being stubborn. Hopefully, I'll be able to sleep it off.

Thank you, though. I appreciate it greatly.

Care package, yes indeed. Also, Trudy, insent a bit ago to your profile addy.

The gift is a marvellous idea.

lib -- share! I'm having a couple a week -- on a slow week.

JZ, I just got it! Will write back shortly.

Oooh! A shower could be such fun! We'll go to a really fancy hotel and get massages and six hundred bucks apiece on facials!

But no EATING!!!!!!
