Yikes Dillo, get it under control, it's just a doctor visit! Getting sick would be worse.

School was cancelled on Wednesday and Thursday here. More snow days!!!! Or, to be specific, more so-fucking-cold-that-it-can-kill-you days!!!

Plei, I'm pretty sure word will get out to the community; I know she was still in touch with the language co-creators.

Are they still involved with EA and the game? Hoping that the community, which is huge, is able to come together and help her family now.

If the Tumblr apocalypse hadn't happened, I would have suggested putting it on Tumblr, possibly with the tags Simblr and The Sims. I'm not sure how active the community is there right now, though.

Bonus of working from home: can wear fleece unicorn onesie for warmth and no one mocks you.

To your face anyway! After working from home for many years my family alternates between being amused and appalled by my homewear. Up north this is generally sweatpants and multiple layers on top to strip off as the day progresses. In Florida it is more likely minimal to indecent absence of clothing. Shorts and camisoles with something absurd on my feet because I need cushioning from the tile floors.

I think our cold front ends tonight because it is highs in the 70s the rest of the week.

Massive amounts of health~ma being sent all round.

I'm waiting to see if the university cancels classes tomorrow -- it seems like they usually go with whatever decision the public schools make, but so far, there's no announcement. I really don't want to have to go teach in this weather.

kind of cool and cloudy here...got the catwoman sweatpants again. I would have to wear everything in my closet to get thru Midwest temps in a typical year...much less anything record breaking.

JZ, I'm so sorry.

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry about your friend, JZ.

Snowing here. Meh.

I keep trying to share things here and finding them too awkward/complicated to post about.

This is me. Plus I feel like I'd just be whining, even tho' I know that 3 weeks of muscle spasm/sinus some form of migraine plus two of the classic light-sensitivity/vertigo/nausea migraines is a thing that justifies whining.

Relatedly, have any of you ever been on Topamax? The neurologist wants me to start on it, but the list of side-effects make me wary, especially since the chances of those side-effects increase because of the other meds I'm on.

Atropa, I'm on Trokendi, which is an extended release form of topirimate, which is supposed to minimize the side effects. I do feel some mental side effects, largely when I grasp for a word and it takes some time to find it, or I can't.

I'm on the absolute lowest dose, which controls the migraines, thank god. The next dosage up had me confusing left and right when trying to give directions.

The word thing is irritating, but it's way better than having migraines, and so far it's preferable to the next suggestion, which is a nerve block.
