They must have been bad juleps. That is the ONLY possible explaination.

Naw, the julep was good. The whole mojito-meets-manhattan was the mindset/reason I ordered it in the first place. As I love the muddled mint of mojitos and the bourbon in manhattans (I love manhattans a little too much though- has anyone here ever seen me on manhattans?) But the julep tasted like neither, exactly, which was somewhat disappointing at first, but a few sips in and I was able to appreciate it on its own merits.

If I could permit myself to have more than one bourbon cocktail, I'd have had a second, and I think that would have gone down even more smoothly.

My migraine medication cycle is three Aleve, if it's pain before the other stuff, a Maxalt or Imitrex is the stuff comes with or before the pain, repeated once, and if that doesn't work, Flexoril.

Aleve works one in five times, the Maxalt/Imitrex three in five, and the Flexoril 9 out of ten. I hate having to repeat the Flexoril.

I was briefly on something preventive, but it made me very sick otherwise (not from my GP, but from an ENT), so it only lasted three days. I want to do the neurologist thing, but I'm weary thinking of it.

I will, when I come back from vacation.

Yeah, and they keep getting easier after that.

Skippity-skip-skip, skim a little:

Hey, Bitches? I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing some sort of care package for -t, once we have an address for her.

I was thinking of this just today, because I have her tiara and I'm so glad I hadn't mailed it yet. I thought of putting a small gift card for Bed, Bath and Beyond or Home Depot in it. Has anyone suggested anything for the care package yet? I don't know how bad her place was hit by the hurricane and what they may need in the way of supplies.

If we put together a care package for -t, is there any way to find out what her DH might like in the way of treats, etc?

My coworker takes Maxalt. It know it's wearing, ita, but do see a neurologist when you get back. I think that you'll be happy about it afterwards (maybe not right afterwards, but within a month or so). If not, I'll do my best to make up for it with a bath bomb or chocolate or some such.

So, reading tons and tons of stuff and going to a doctor should at least net you something.

First you bust on our chocolate, now on our petrol pains??!!! *sputter*

I know! I'm feisty today. Watch out, I might start ragging on your cutlery habits next.

Twenty minutes before I go catch up with AS. Today we're checking out a games store. Her workplace needs a party game for their next social activity, and naturally she has come to the master. (I have one suggestion so far, Guesstures, which is charades with a time limit. It's good stuff as a warm-up.)

{{{Jilli}}} They don't know what they're missing.

sj, you're going to knock their socks off.

{{{vw}}} Migraines suck. 'Nuff said.

And I'm totally in on a gift basket and shower.

In somewhat happier news, today is exactly ONE month before I marry the only man in the world who could possibly love me enough to think my neuroses are cute.

But they are! And, wheeee!

Been posting from a PC in the school dining room (had to login to the credit union quick to make sure that there's actual money in my account to cover the check for the book I just bought), but people keep coming in with food (go figure) and I'm hungry! So, later, y'all, gotta go hunt and/or gather some dinner.
