Poor munchkin!

GC, you probably want the Gorey Details website, which I don't remember the URL of right off the top of my head. But they've got the biggest selection of Edward Gorey goodies.

We've been dealing with a flooded basement. Dear Torrential Downpour, GO AWAY. On the plus side, we've had to move a bunch of stuff out of the basement, which means going through boxes and organizing stuff. That's good, right?

aaaand ita comes through with the link.

Huh. I should really try to get some work done, since I'm Working At Home today.

Glad to help. Now can anyone make this headache go away? I'd hate to have to take the Ambien so early, because that's about the only way I can think of avoiding experiencing this pain.

You could try face-planting onto the table leg, then eating strawberry jellybeans... nah, got nothing.

(Aside, "all natural strawberry jellybeans" from Whole Foods? Good, but WTF?)

Ah, I got your falling all taken care of. Thankfully I haven't gone face forwards onto anything harder than carpet, and my last fall (today? yesterday?) only resulted in a bruised butt.

I don't have jellybeans. That might be what I'm doing wrong. I think I'll see if applesauce helps.

ita, if you think my waving Clovis (or any of the stuffed monsters) in your direction would possibly help your head, let me know. But that's about the only thing I can come up with that I could do.

not your mom's socks.

flea - do you have any arnica in the house? It works - even a few hours after. Swear. How do I know this? ::polishes dented wtfmom?!* tiara::

face-planting onto the table leg

flea clearly does not remember that our brother, when he was a toddler, got the sobriquet "Natty Bumppo" from our grandfather, on the occasion of his having a goose-egg on his forehead consistently over the course of three years.

(Culminating in his first ER trip for stitches in his face. His first of three.)

Re: Gorey - Signals was what I was thinking of, thanks! Gorey Details is awesome, though. I've ordered from there before. GF wants the 2 books in the Signals catalog and I couldn't remember what they were.
