Migraine

Ugh. Haven't had a migraine for over a year and whammo - one hit today. It started with an annoying headache in the back of my neck/head. I was fine though, managing even though I was incredibly sleepy and out of it from a later-than-usual-Monday night involving 25 oz beers (hey same price as a pint), the Independent Feature Project Minneapolis/St. Paul, grants worth $25k and good conversation/networking....but I digress.

By 12:15 I was in agony...nauseas, in major pain, unable to see or focus...it was gross. And unfortunately I couldn't bail from work because I had to finish a presentation for my boss...which of course I was waiting on the information for. I went to lunch, called J and asked him to call me in 40 minutes and proceeded to curl up in the fetal position on the couch. I sorta slept...sorta just layed there...Beavis was meowing for attention the whole time which was quite annoying...when the phone call came I didn't feel any better but my hair was a total sleeping-freak-out-disaster. Oh well. I went back to work for about and hour and ten more minutes, finished the presentation, managed not to throw up and came home.

I comforted myself with homemade mac & cheese (after a while...I finally got hungry), Dr. Phil and my book....I'm feeling mostly better now...after many hours on the couch but still exhausted and have a deep rooted headache. At least I can see and the nausea has subsided.

I'm hoping tomorrow is a whole lot better. We have a self-imposed film deadline for Friday and that is coming all too quickly....

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
