Steph, do you know if a daith piercing works for sinus migraines? Those are the only ones I get now, thanks to the magic of quarterly botox injections.

(I'm about to google this, too, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you.)

Thanks for the fireworks video, Gud!

That was just a little clip from the start. I wish I had the finish on video except I'm rather be experiencing rather than filming. It felt like the perfect distance, the fireworks completely filled our field of vision and we could physically feel the sound when they went off.

Took my parents to Cocina Luchadoras, which was a hit & then to the Canton waterfront park, which was short lived because it started storming. We leave tomorrow night. I guess I'm packing tomorrow & making a shortlist of things to do the first day. Can't check into our places until mid afternoon, but I've secured us a taxi from the airport (there are 7 of us, it's cheaper) & the location of $15/day luggage lockers near where we're staying. So we'll park the luggage & do a bit of jet lagged wandering. Really, I ought to find a cafe with comfy chairs, or better, a library, to park my parents if they're worn out. Overnight flight & only one of us sleeps on planes & it's not the one who is good at making plans, so.

As soon as I get a chance. I'm going to hook up a Raspberry Pi to our component stereo so I can remotely start music. Then the next time I'm entering the house from returning from work it'll be with theme music.

I like this idea, Gud. I do love me a dramatic entrance.

I mean, probably half of my migraines are sinus migraines, and they've all dramatically improved, so I'm going to say yes.

sara, [link] has great advice about what to do if you land early morning in Iceland.

We went to a low-key bath place with a nap room. It was a perfect place to hang out until our rental was ready.

I've gotten a lot from that site. I just haven't thought much, between parent wrangling & making the basic arrangements.

Me, alone? Straight to pool/baths. But I need to accompany my parents for Reasons.

Yeah, the place we went just had lots of places to just sit and chill out. Plus a cafe attached.
