    migraine nation

    It’s that time of the year… the time when the weather can’t make up it’s mind and leaves me in a migraine/sinus headache hell for weeks on end. I’ve had an off and on migraine since last weekend. A lot of it has been in my neck which makes me wonder if it’s also stress. Or the way I’m sleeping…

    good morning to everyone except covid-19

    I had a dragoncon dream last night. It was dragoncon 2021 and I was so relieved they still had the convention despite coronavirus. And then I woke up sad.

    risk category 5

    We are officially in risk category 5, but I have achieved my state of clear. Everything is pretty much done at this point. Now it’s just struggling thru half this week at work until I can set my out of office and I’m on the road. Friday afternoon I got my hairs re-redded. And brows waxed. Slowly emerging from the…

    dragoncon blues

    HI! I’m home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let’s backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless!…
