That sounds obnoxious Sue, but at least you were able to re-do it and he didn't break anything? (Low bright side/expectations when it comes to cable companies)

I am awake far too early. Fingers crossed this does not lead to yet another migraine. I'm hoping the fact that I remembered to put another migraine pill in my bag after using one last week will also prevent one.

That is wonderful.

I've had olfactory hallucination related to migraine, and that tinny taste in the mouth, but never aura.

Tinny taste? Wait, maybe migraine explains that random metallic taste in my mouth that I've never been able to pin on anything I've eaten.

I used to have daily auditory hallucinations before sleep. I heard three knocks every night.

Now that would have a lot of people believing their house was haunted.

Whic would wake me from my almost asleep phase and sometimes have me up checking the door. I guess those were closer to dreams, but I was usually still on the awake side of things.

I knew someone once who had hypnagogic hallucinations. She'd see strange things right before she fell asleep, or right as she was waking up. Her descriptions of her experiences gave me a new perspective on stories of ghosts and alien abductions.

Yikes! I would not like that. I usually hear someone calling my name, like they are trying to get my attention. I don't like that either. Hasn't happened in a while, knock wood.

I hope your Tivo isn't messed up from his expertise, Sue.

Love the balloon surprise!

Yay balloons!

The only migraine sensations I ever got was the floating blurred spots. Annoying in that they were blocking enough vision to make doing anything impossible, but not as annoying as those other people get. Knocking would be super annoying. Not too crazy about the idea of Jesus in my kibble either.

I feel like I've been hearing about that phenomenon all over the place lately! Huh.

I had that happen once. I heard my mother's voice, clear as if she was standing there, call my name from across the room. I was fully awake (and sober), and my mom was entirely alive at that time. I called home and asked if she was okay, because maybe premonition, and she was fine. Just random weird neuron firing.

Argh. I am all off-kilter today, which I'm going to blame for me once again leaving my phone at home. I hate not having my external brain handy!

ETA: Oh, crap, and I'm expecting a call! I'd better go home and get it.

Morning report - CJ came home and finally went to his room. First response, with a huge smile on his face, "I hate you". Then he dived under the pile and wiggled his way around his room. I kept expecting him to pop up here and there saying "Bazinga".

Love the balloon surprise!

Me too! What a great surprise. How did he respond?

So glad he liked it!

So cute, Suzi!

ION, after watching my mother spend $700 on lenses over the weekend -- frames were extra! -- I now want to buy several pairs of Warby Parker glasses. Because now I know how much I'm saving by not having bifocals....
