Yeah, the cold pack will hurt. But repeat that cycle of the two extremes two or three times, and it should help with the headache.

Not really outsourceable stuff (although I may be crowdsourcing the playlists here, because DANCE PARTY).

Let me know if I can help here. Because...I've done this a lot.

And I know you need some Lyle Lovett on there.

"I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You."

I'm shocked...Hec wants to make a playlist. You have to have "At Last" by Etta James, though.

---

Okay, Aleve is not living up to its name. I really don't want to go to urgent care but my head hurts so much.

---

Bonny, holy hell! I swear, do you need one of my crutches to whack someone with? A la clue stick??

Woot! Today has not been boring.

And kudos to you for keeping it together. Not sure how I'd react to a knife being pulled on me. Yeah. Boring. It isn't!

Steph, given how many writers we have here, could we help with the vows, and you edit them to what you want? Dunno. Might be too personal of a thing to outsource. The little engineer in me likes to fix things. But, sometimes, things are best fixed on their own. (ok, single guy will step back into the corner and leave wedding things alone, as I have no basis to help).

IOmeN, It's HOT here!! Well, hot for Southern California. And the humidity is up there, well, for SoCal. Not happy with the green office building right now. Although,the ceiling fan is helping. The summer is winding down, here on campus. Next week is my vacation week. And I'm having that little procedure taken care of. And what does the Deans Office do? They rent out our big theater to a dance company that wants to produce a musical. One day of technical rehearsals, one day of performances. And who is on vacation? Me AND the lighting guy. Um. Who thought this was a good idea?? All the students are on one last blast before school starts up again. And all the other sound folks are busy at their day jobs, or helping ND with Universal Studios (love you ND! Mwah!). Part of me is stressing. And part of me is saying "not my f*%king problem". Something tells me I'll be making calls and emails while on vacation next week. Ugg.

That sounds annoying, omnis.

Steph, do you not have heavy-duty migraine meds, or are they just not working? (I've got stuff I can take, though I should probably take it more often, I tend to hope the OTC stuff will work, first. Only a couple of times have I had to take two of the hard stuff because the first didn't work)

Things I am enjoying: Trader Joe's has new "cold brew coffee concentrate", so I can stick it in the fridge, dilute with water or milk, and YUM. I was worried it would suck (I'm not a fan of their beans), but it's perfectly good. YAY.

I don't take Imitrex (or any triptan) because of the drug's potential for cardiac side effects, given my Dad's family history of heart disease. I take fioricet, which is kind of crap but does tend to work if I catch the headache in time.

---

Omni, can you buy a burner phone for your vacation, give the number to your friends and turn off your regular phone during the vacation?. And put your email on vacation auto response during the vacation? And still have a job when you get back, I mean.

---

Well, vacation is a staycation. And the emails/phone calls will be trying to schedule this stupid event. If I don't help out, it could mean my gear is not used properly, which is more headaches for me in the long run.
