yay Kristin!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great news, Kristin!
Steph, did it work? Is your headache alleviated?

Well, yesterday's headache was mostly gone by bedtime, though by lunch today I had what I would call a very minor tension headache (very light throbbing in a band across the front and back of my head, which is VERY different from how my migraines present). t edit And that headache is, in fact, more or less gone without ibuprofen. So, maybe the voodoo worked.
All I can say right now is that I feel endorphin-stupid and chill. Since I've been getting migraines pretty frequently, I think I'll know within a week or 2 if it worked. She wants me to come in next week, too (when I told her about my insomnia and my anxiety, she told me I had a classic grouping of symptoms, including migraines), but it might take more than 1 treatment to untangle stuff. I'm cool with that.

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks so much, everyone! I feel so badly popping in here just to share my news when I've been mostly absent these past couple of months, but I wanted to let my Blinvisible Friends know.
When I've had time, I've read what I can in Bitches and Natter. I've worried about those of you who are sick or who have sick relatives, cheered for your good news, and sent ~ma when requested. Sometimes I feel like I've become a quasi-Buffista, but I promise I'm still here and still care, even when I'm not completely up to date or don't have time to write out what I've thought.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Silly, you will always be a full, not quasi, Buffista. Even if you are furniture.

Our wings are not tired.
Awesome to pop in and see great news! Congratulations, Pix!

Heck, you'll just be the comfy chair everyone wants to sit in, Kristin. You'll always be around.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Erin, I'm sorry about your job, but hopefully this means something better is coming your way.
Kristin, congrats!!! They couldn't have picked a better person! Yay!!!

Oh FFS. I just had a client kill a project by saying that after reflecting on my new-client questionnaire, he had an epiphany that he no longer wanted to be in business. And thanked me.
Umm, you're welcome?
