the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The telehealth doctor said nothing I described is a red flag to her, but since she couldn't see me physically, she said going to Urgent Care is probably a good idea, and yeah, that's true. So I'm eating some leftover pizza and then Tim will drive me up there.

She did say that sometimes people can get different-sized pupils with a migraine, although my quick googling tells me that means it's a super bad migraine, and today's migraine doesn't fall in that category. It's interesting, though.

Yikes Teppy. Don’t secretly have a brain bleed please. Take care of yourself. Different sized pupils is a bit scary.

Clearly time to break out the bubble wrap.

Car trunks are dangerous! After I had my Moh's procedure I leaned into the back of the car and caught the door edge right into the wound. So painful!

Urgent Care has cleared me and just said to watch for any drastic changes in head pain cognition, etc. And we got home just in time to see the Bengals score the first touchdown in the Bills game.

Teppy, I've read your last post first, right when I logged in, so I already knew you were OK when I read back to find our what had happened, but I still hope you're OK and migraine-free (or as free as possible) and same-sized-pupils today.

hard to hang out since they’re in another city and so it’s usually see both or see neither

Oy, that's definitely complicated to keep in touch in such circumstances, when one of them is so problematic. Sigh.

The migraine is fully gone this morning, yay! And my pupils seem to be the same size, so I seem to be all good.

I have grown older, but not up.

That seems a very imprecise cure for migraines, but take the win.

I'm definitely not going to try it again!

Our wings are not tired.

Karl, sending much love and ~ma for your family.

As you would imagine, I've been having little phantom limb pangs of wanting to talk to JZ about this or that or just missing her.

That will never go away. You can play a WWJS thing in your mind. What would Jacqueline say? I hope Matilda and Nora's reunion is comforting to them both.

Laura, I hope your travels continue as well and smoothly as possible.

Three days was the way to go although wrangling the animals into hotels two nights was a pain by myself. At least Skinner stays quietly hanging out in the car without issue so I was able to breakfast without worrying about him barking. Made the trip in record time because I didn't stop at all except for charging and bathroom breaks. Good to be home, and Skinner was super happy to see all his friends and run like a dog that has been in a car for 3 days.

But on the bright side, it was the first shabbat since the war started that there were no alarms where my sister in law and her family live, for the whole time we were there, and the drive back home, so that was a nice surprise.

Rejoice in these moments when you have normalcy.

We had a repair guy out yesterday, and it *is* the motor, but putting in a new motor is still cheaper than buying a new dryer (although not by much once you add in labor), and Tim is really committed to repairing rather than buying new, so I'm just along for the ride.

With Tim on the dryer as they do last forever and repair easily. Now that you are getting a new motor it will be around forever.

They are! As are door edges in general. I have at least learned to be more deliberate when getting in or out now.
