...as does that little present. Bah. Of all the times I hate genetics, or at least mine in particular, now is it. ( cut for general squick...feel free to skip over. ) Thanks also to Grandmama, I get migraines, too, especially during and before that little present. I've had one for 48 hours. Bah.

Despite the headache, I've been pressing ahead to get product made before Coronation. (and I have a ride, too! Thank you, Martinus!) My biggest roadblock is using these nifty cork beads I found. Cork as a beading product isn't period for SCA purposes, at least in what little research I've done. BUT. I want to use them for something. I almost have half a notion to make little Calontir key floaties out of them, knowing how buoyant cork is...but I definitely need to see if the cork can hold up a few keys. (They're 20mm beads, so they're pretty massive, but even cork isn't that buoyant.) Ideas are appreciated. Otherwise, I'm going to go get purple spray paint and then paint little falcons on them in gold.

Speaking of falcons, I found nifty charms online today. I want them. They'd make amazing largesse. Charm number one (link) so could work, but I really like charm number two (link). There is so much potential there, but even then, I'm not sure how I'd use them. I think they'd look stunning on a simple silver chain, myself. And yes, they have them in gold, too. I want just one for myself to show my love for Calontir. (Why, no, I'm not a dork. :P)

Anyway. I'm going to go crash. I need to. And to think, all I've done is sleep.

Oh! I'm supposed to have girl night with summersdream and Serenity sometime this weekend. I'm hoping Labor Day is open for her (please come back before then, Summer! We need girl time. And I need to dance. Badly. Especially before the Coronation Ball!), but even then, my weekends are pretty open.

lost_in_mowhere is sick again, and it worries me. Dammit, man. Stop getting sick. It's not good for you.

Anti was really sweet yesterday when I came home early from work. He told me to lay down, and he rubbed my feet, and with no complaint, and then rubbed my back until I fell asleep. I may whine about him sometimes, and there are times I want to wring his neck, but there are also times I'm madly in love with him and respect him to no end. This was such a time. The point is, relationships aren't always a walk in the park. Don't let eHarmony fool ya. Every relationship has its ups and downs, and we've been through our share of them, and we'll still face a bunch more. But deep down, I love, respect, and admire him, and I know he loves, respects, and admires me. And that's the crux of a strong relationship.

Anyway. I'm getting all sleep-addled, so I better go. I have photos of the cork beads that I'll upload later so you can see, but on the whole, I'm open to any suggestions on using them.

I went into Dr Holly to get doubly checked out. When I explained that they whole migraine thing was hormonal, he nodded, asked if there was a family history of menstrual headaches. "Yes, my maternal grandmother had them from menarche to menopause," was my reply. When I told him I was on Zomig before I left KC for maintenance (it worked beautifully), he held up his hand, wrote the script, and handed it to me. I also picked up my CT records and the disc with my scan pictures along with the report, which states that everything's normal. Yes, that is my head in my icon.

So, I'm good, and provided my insurance covers my Zomig, things'll be great.

For those who have prayed, thanks. You're amazing.

CT went well. I've placed my request to get my CT pictures on disk for personal records, and I'll know for certain what's wrong (though I'm pretty sure it's all hormonal, still) Friday at 3.

I'm just dealing with the frustration of idiots at my place of employment thinking that migraines cannot be triggered by hormonal levels changing, and while that's not fun, I'd rather have my doc tell them they're dumbasses and not get in trouble over it than me telling them they're dumbasses.

My CT scan is tomorrow at 2:30.

Please pray. Thanks.
