Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have a sleeping husband, a sleeping daughter, and a WIDE AWAKE baby boy. I am so not getting grading done. Oh well.

We'll be picking up the car later. My life, she's a wee bit dull.

In my experience, life with young children can't be all THAT dull. I hope the boy is at least wide awake and happy. If you can't grade, you might as well play!

Well the dull part is the never going out at night. Although last night was way fun, we watched the Wallace and Gromit DVD with Franny and Isaac. Franny was entranced. I think she'll be able to watch the movie. yay!

There are certainly pros and cons. Yeah on Wallace and Gromit, though!

Two pairs cuffed trousers (lined even!) and a purple sweater thing were purchased. I saw a couple pair of shoes in Naturalizer that I really liked, but I had run out of patience at that point.

Home, went ruthlessly through closet. 1 large old navy bag, 3 target bags full. I didn't even touch the shoes yet.

So that's good. I hang on to a lot of junk clothes for wearing at home. And the thing is, I do wear them. So they stay, but are better organized.

Next up, manicure. After steak, though.

Exciting, no?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Last time I fainted (so not a one time thing) I went straight to my GP, who sent me to an ENT, who made me get an MRI, and they weren't very worried. GP was basically "Well, it happens to some people."

He did suggest I see a neurologist anyway, which is why I am.

As for the medication -- if it is because of it, it's a periodic (fuck I hate the way my brain loses words after a faint) flushing or something. I take Imitrex all the time, sadly. The amount of Imitrex/whatevers I've taken this past week -- I've taken that much without incident many times before. What does stand out, however, is the recalcitrant intensity of the headache that preceded it. The last time I fainted was after a real doozy.

I wasn't lying down for the last little bit, because I was running errands. On the upside, I'm more pampered than I was before, because I have plantain, curried goat, Ting, British apple pies and comics. On the downside I'm freaking exhausted and will be napping intermittently until the H'ween party.

Are you working the padded headgear into your halloween costume?
