That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Matt, much ~ma to you and your family.

Matt, I'm so sorry.

I was a little bewildered when the alarm went off this morning.

I took today off (we traveled home yesterday from the NYE event, and I knew I'd need a day of decompression), which means going back to the office tomorrow is going to be WEIRD.

Oh, Matt, I'm so sorry for your family. Much strength to you all.

And I just realized I'm taking my mother to a dentist's appointment as well as a psych visit this afternoon. Joy.

But a friend has some open wine from New Year's to get rid of, so I might help her with that afterwards...

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

But if it helps?

See, it's not actually about my headaches. It's about my neck pain. Which I do intensely dislike. But it grinds me to a halt less than the headaches.

I'm looking at the Skillpath courses that my manager forwarded to me. I wonder if I get to take two? I am tempted to ask for the "how can I be nicer???" ones, but I'll just ask for project management like a good girl.

However, my Christmas vacation was a like...call me Scrooge, I guess, but I was only visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, and apparently I'm quite the bully. Which...cracks me up, but that's not fair to the people that think I strong-armed them into whatever conclusion I decided was right that day.

Oops.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See, it's not actually about my headaches. It's about my neck pain. Which I do intensely dislike.

Is the idea that they are actually the same thing? Because now that sounds like a big response to a secondary problem?

The neck pain makes the headaches worse. But I'm in the ER once a week with zero neck pain, so...it's just that this year he couldn't stop the neck pain any other way.

I know there are people are looking for this invasive procedure to have miracle migraine results, but neither of my specialists are predicting them, and I'm not expecting them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, okay, that sounds like a lot for possibly not that much return. I mean, it's good that the insurance will cover so if you get driven to that point you have the option, but maybe you're not there now.

I have run out of motivation. It's naptime now, right?

Well, if you insist.

What about the scial owrker who thought she could get you treatments at home? Even if it s thousand to one shot, sounds like it is worth a few phone calls.

She's visiting on Friday. But that's entirely orthogonal. At least, I hope they are. I don't want any judgement if I do or do not go ahead with the neurostimulator.

I have not gotten the year wrong today, but I have gotten the day of the month wrong every time until just now.
