and impulse buys including shrimp cocktail!

Woot!

(including shrimp cocktail, so it was a partial Shrimpsgiving),

Woot!

Then I started gagging and threw up as soon as I got home and I have an insanely bad headache.

Most definitely not Woot! askye, you should not be working through this concussion. I don't care if they're short staffed and it's Black Friday. You literally have some brain damage and you need to respect it. You shouldn't be driving. You should tell your supervisor you got pulled over for driving erratically and threw up at home. These are serious symptoms.

Retail will survive without you for a few days. You need to take care of yourself. Your injury is documented. Nobody thinks you're slacking.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad you are getting care, askye!

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I'm so glad you're going to the ER, askye!

Thrive to spite them

It's been busy at the ER so I'm still here. I just want to go home. Got medicine for the nausea and then the dizziness. It seems like the flashing lights caused a migraine. The dr said another CT scan wasn't needed since my first one looked good.

My restless leg problems have kicked in so that is not fun. If I was at home I would take some magnesium.. I think at this rate I'll be getting out of here right about the time the first people get to the store.

Our wings are not tired.

{{askye}} I hope you are home resting now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, askye! Take care of yourself -- a friend of mine got a concussion from, I think, a suitcase falling out of the overhead storage on a bus (so not like something that sounds Serious), and really wasn't back at work for months. Concussions are no joke!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

askye, I'm glad you went to the ER and aren't working today.

My Thanksgiving was... going fine until my uncle-in-law said they had news just as we sat down to eat, and then prodded my aunt into announcing she had lymphoma. Apparently he also sent a Facebook blast telling everyone about it without her permission or knowledge. No real details until she goes for a PET scan in a week and a half. We also got to listen to my aunt's voicemails from friends she had called yesterday with the news.

I'm worried for her and hoping what she has is eminently treatable, but the rest is, uh... those sure are some family dynamics right there.
