I follow a page called Memories & photos of Las Cruces. Gotta say, have some excellent photogs in my birthplace. Also, it is amusing to me when I call my parents and they tell me of rain they got (this is noteworthy in a drought stricken desert) and I'm like, I know, I saw amazing pictures!

Got my hair cut, took a disturbing nap, got a decent swim in.

Got box of bday presents and card from the parents. Though it drives mom nuts, not opening until tomorrow(she has no patience.) Gonna go swim at Druid in the morning, loll in the dive tank a bit, open the card, see if S&J are around to join me for tacos and go eat them at water's edge ( and go to bank and bloodbath&beyond.) Then I think I'll come home, pop open a bottle of vinho verde (maybe the rosé variety) and open my presents. And eat cherries.

I just opened kitchen window and French doors, while I let the ac whirr upstairs. Climate zones, or something. But I'm pleased to be able to air out a bit.

It's starting to look like overheating + bright sunlight = light sensitive migraine. Which I've never had problems with BEFORE; I've never liked them, but they didn't cause me problems like this. Thankfully, a combination of ice packs, Aleve, and Bendryl seems to have stopped it. And I'm going to ask my doctor and my psych if Lamictal can cause this sort of thing.

GUD! You are not lawn. Lawn mowers should not go on top of you!

Jilli, increased sensitivity to light is in the "call your doctor at once if you experience one of these" section of lamictal side effects.

But I've been taking it for 4 months? And been at my current dosage for a month? But I will call my doctor and psych. Tho' I think my psych is on vacation until next month.

In your shoes, I might want to ask a pharmacist to join the conversation as well, Jilli. Neurologists and psychiatrists tend to be better versed in medication side effects than the average PCP, but that is what pharmacists specialize in.

Oooh, good point. I will do that.

Looked young overall. I found myself wondering if they've recruited the Bernie Bro contingent.

They have. (The husband of a friend of mine is involved with them.)

Huh, it's almost cool outside. Gonna make swimming outside interesting. Off to pool I go!

Timelies all!

Got lunch and groceries. Mr. S is napping and Gary has gone to Toys R Us to look for a birthday present for him. (Mr. S's birthday is Thursday.)

slept in, retrieved parents from airport and got them home, got lunch for me and E out, and now ready for Day 2 of TWD S7 marathon.
