Hey Jesse! What's the fifth root of 243?

Because books.

ita, is the slurred speech due to the headache, or the meds for it?

Either way, that sucks.

Oh ita, I'm sorry. Take care of yourself.

I am bummed that Nilly is gone as I wanted to agree with her here:

I usually find most people prettier in face-space than in pictures. Then again, I've never met any actors or people who make their living by being pretty in pictures, so there may be also that.

There are those few who really shine in photos, but most people are so much more attractive F2F.

Went to the park this morning. I thought it would knock out both kids, but Isaac is still up. Oh well. I need to grade, so I'm hoping he can keep himself happy in his play pen.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

But when the slurred speech thing is happening, socialising is hard. Tiring.

ita, is this something you've experienced before with migranes and/or concussion? 'Cause my first reaction is seek medical attention. Now.

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

Thanks, guys.

The slurred speech either means I'm having a pain-free migraine, or it's something post concussive. I can talk around it, and do (it takes more concentration to make sure my tongue goes where I want it), but it's pretty exhausting.

They've done the head scan already. There's notthing more for them to do. I'm pretty sure it's post-concussive -- I'd have remembered this from before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Jesse! What's the fifth root of 243?

I'm not mathy, ho!!

(hee!)

OK, here's a homework question: I have ten surveys with a zillion questions that I need to analyze. I'm inclined to just look through them and type up a paragraph about what each one said. Like "Person 1 said X and Y and Z," and then looking through the paragraphs to see where people intersected or not. Because with only ten respondents, it seems like a waste to do some big computer mathy analysis. Does this make sense to anyone else?

PS: Got your mail, sara, thanks!

It's really not a good thing, either way. As in, check with your doctor about it, huh?

I'm with AmyLiz on the checking with the doctor, if this is a new thing. I really do wish your body would fix itself faster! (As I said to my friend with pancreatitis just yesterday. She asked what I had had for lunch, and I couldn't tell her, as it felt so taunty since she's currently on a low-fat, no spice, no fruit or vegetables diet. Oh! Does anyone here know anything about pancreatitis? She was looking for anecdotes.)

Oh Jesse, you don't want to hear my "anecdotes" on pancreatitis, so I won't share them.

Well, okay then. Let that brain of yours get some rest.
