Teppy if it's not too late I recommend going with the slightly larger shoes. By the end of the day your feet will be swelling from all the standing and dancing.
No, my feet actually come out of the shoes when I walk. That's not "slightly larger," and I probably didn't explain it well enough earlier. I do understand the feet-swelling thing, and that I don't want my shoes to fit snugly right off the bat. But there is no way I can do shoes where my feet come out of them with every single step I take.
I think the 1/2 size smaller will be roomy but stay on my feet.
ION, migraine still here. Considering trepanation.
I got the editing test from the AMA (did I say this already? I am SO loopy from the migraine meds), and the e-mail that accompanied it said that several people are testing for the position. I want to believe my chances are good -- after all, I have a LOT of experience in this area, and I'm pretty sure that my former co-worker put in a good word for me -- but I'm nervous about the fact that several people are testing for the position. And that stresses me out.
I mean, okay, I *get* that companies that have a position to fill tend to interview more than one candidate, because that's efficient. I know this. I just...didn't really *think* about it, if that makes sense, until the e-mail that said there are several of us. Ugh.

bonny, what story is this? My BFF is a quilter, and I bet she'd like that.
Here you go, Zen.

The visuals are really beautiful.
Teppy, just edit like you normally would. You are good at what you do, no need to put on special airs. The others don't matter.
Omni, migraines can be mild. I've had mild 'super headaches' since childhood, and they were diagnosed as migraines some years ago. if the headache comes with the extra added bonus of nausea, there is a good chance it is a migraine, even if a mild one
No nausea that I recall. Usually, just feels like my eyeballs want to pop, or feels like my head is inside a church bell when it's ringing. It's maybe once every 4-6 weeks, minimum. They happened more in grad school, so I sense stress is a contributing factor.
sorry - age is a factor too....
and I did a lot of reading about sinus headaches. They are migraines.
and I did a lot of reading about sinus headaches. They are migraines.
Really? I didn't know that. I get a "sinus" headache regularly every month, for two days before my period, that is intractable and responds to nothing. I assumed it was hormonal. Is that a migraine, too?
Don't know for sure. But I bet an ENT could tell you, if you have insurance. (Well an ENT could tell you even if you don't have insurance, but it would cost a hell of a lot.)
I have insurance. I should go to an ENT anyway about my ear. I just hate going to doctors.
Also being able to hear is a really good thing, so if you are having ear problems that is a good argument for going to see the ENT, even if you hate doctors. And an ENT could tell you if it is migraine or sinus problems. They probably can't spot a hormonal cause, but if they eliminate the first two, that makes the third likely. My ENT told me that migraines are very underdiagnosed, that a lot of people with mysterious headaches have migraines and just don't realize it because they are not "cower under the covers for days" level of bad. Don't know how right she is, have not actually done research.
