"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have a sparkly multicolored zigzag line in my upper right field of vision. This is ... weird, in a festive sort of way. (I've never had a migraine, which was my first thought, and am feeling fine otherwise. It's not a stroke or anything, right?)
This sounds like my ocular migraines as well. I usually get them at this time of year when the heat first goes on. Drink lots of water and maybe look into a neti or a saline spray. That's what keeps mine away.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Very cool, Sue!

I had that once. I downed a bunch of caffeine and ibuprofen and eventually it faded. I'm very glad the head ache portion of the migraine seemed to skip me. I'm also very glad it hasn't returned in the seven or so years since.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's so cool, Sue. Will send much job~ma your way.
And here's the picture Casper drew of us as manga: [link] (I have no idea why I have long brown hair.)
I love it! And as for the brown hair, I've noticed that before with a couple of my friends who share their hair color with their child. The kids tend to read their own hair as blonde and their parent's hair as brown.

Work update: boss was happy to provide a sub for my classes for the rest of this week, so we are now working on getting that set up. I also need to talk to the palliative care nurse if I can.

Good. You need to take care of =you=, Burrell.

Or, as my sister once informed my mom, as "tree bark. " I'm not sure she ever quite got over that one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Flea, I meant to ask--how old is Casper, again? Because that's some sophisticatedly stylised work! I'm impressed and appreciative.
Sue, the Hague is straight up movie stuff to me, and the details are making it even cooler. You want it? You should totally have it if you do.
Any Visio users here have a good set of computer shapes they can hook me up with? I have found adequate shapes for servers, but ones for 2013 (or 2005!) computers, laptops, phones, TABLETS are outside my reach right now. Most of the resource sites focus on different sorts of diagrams from mine.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, that artworks is so excellent. It is really wonderful and makes me feel ever more inadequate. I'm an adult and I couldn't draw like that if I tried and had 3 assistants.
