Connie, best wishes and lots of ~ma for your husband (could expelling the lutherans be considered a counter-reformation?).
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Connie, tons of ~ma your way. Skill & Precision~ma for the surgeons, and comfort/peace-of-mind~ma for you, hubby, and family.

. Also, I asked for an address to which to send a note, and the person who posted just told me to send an email to his mother. It doesn't feel right to send my sympathies that way.
I don't send email unless I know that the person is email savvy. I generally wouldn't sent them to an older person (like a mom or dad), but would (and have) sent them to board folks. Also, wouldn't send email to someone that I didn't know used email regularly.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Today cancelled due to migraine. Typical.
I'm just getting over a migraine that came on like a lightning bolt yesterday. (Normally, I can feel them coming, gathering strength and evilness, which gives me time to take drugs in the hopes of keeping it from getting bad. But yesterday's was literally -- one minute, my head was fine, and the next there was elephant-kicking-my-face pain.) I am doped up as much as I can be without lapsing into unconsciousness, and it's finally slowly abating.
Stoopid migraines. They should be banned.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Stoopid migraines. They should be banned.
I've just spent three hours alternately sleeping and throwing up. I agree with your statement entirely.
Steph, I hope you're feeling better soon. It's never good when they come on too fast to take stuff that helps.
I would like to ask my body why it's so determined to sabotage my dissertation. I mean, did I do something to piss it off? (Apart from all the liver-destroying. And weight-gaining. And sleep deprivation. And failure to exercise. And... yeah, OK.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I've just spent three hours alternately sleeping and throwing up. I agree with your statement entirely.
Mine came on about 3 p.m. yesterday, so I had 2 more hours of work, staring at a computer monitor (light is the worst pain when I have a migraine), AND my desk directly faces west, looking at a full wall of windows. No clouds, early sunset, oh my fucking god.
I didn't progress to the throwing up stage, but it was touch and go for awhile.
Steph, I hope you're feeling better soon. It's never good when they come on too fast to take stuff that helps.
It's about 85% gone, so one more round of drugs should crush it for good. I hope.

Hugs and ~ma going out to those in need.
Also a request for some ~ma for a high school friend who is battling breast cancer for the second time. She's 39. Her FB status today says it all:
Today is the day. Bye bye boobies. I liked you, until you tried to kill me. Thanks for the mammories.
What a woman!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is a woman of many virtues, GC. Definitely sending the ~ma her way.
