Have we mentioned yet today that librarians are awesome?

Taking any travel tips for Dublin or Galway.
So exciting! I loved the Dingle peninsula. Dublin: do the Guinness tour for sure. It's right next to the old prisons which have their own fascinating tour.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So I just booked airline tickets to Dublin for a week.
Yay! Jealous.

Dublin has an awesome rare books museum/library that is well worth a visit, is also a beautiful building, AND has a good cafe, the Chester Beatty Library: [link]
We went to an awesome pastry/tea shop called Queen of Tarts: [link]
If you like Celtic gold and/or bog bodies, the National Archaeological Museum is worth seeing. [link] We went to the art museum part too, but that was not that thrilling. Although it had an excellent gift shop.
I also really liked a one-day bus tour we did that went to Tara (not much to see other than a nice bumpy hill) and Newgrange (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newgrange) and the associated megalithic tomb visitor's center. You could DIY by car but it wasn't too pricy as a but tour and we were in the mood for easy.

Sue that is fantastic! Very jealous.
Glam, I have had good luck with online space planning tools. You put in the measurements of your space and the measurements of your furniture and then you can shift them around however you want. Maybe not quite what you are looking for, though.
And I'm still in grrrrrrrr mode. Pest control guy still isn't here. I called the office and he has picked up keys for all the units he has to hit today, so he is on the property, just don't know where I am on the list. I threw the cats in the bathroom last time I was in my room. I know they aren't happy with me, but I figured it was better now than when they freak out with a stranger in the house.
Work....too busy to even think about. And yet, here I am taking a brain break cause it is all too much at the moment.

They are both on my list.

Also on my list!
I'd love to do the Aran Isles (or one, anyway) but I think that will be weather dependent. (Mostly sea conditions.) If the weather is bad, I will explore Galway for a couple of days, or head back to Dublin. I am making tentative plans, but trying to keep it loose.

I actually changed out of the wool sweater I was going to wear today when I saw the forecast for the rest of the week. It's 23 right now, so I am saving my warm clothes!
I hope those predicted temps are as accurate as the predicted 5-8 inches of snow we didn't get last night.

ita,
not sure if this is helpful, but when I was losing my sight due to high blood sugar, the doctor told me that the extra sugar was drying out the lenses in my eyes and it was making things blurrier and blurrier.
What if the topamax is doing something similar? drying out your lenses in your eyes?
