Hello again

Sometimes I feel like I'm sending out messages to those scientists that listen for radio messages from alien beings, like in the movie Contact. I know nobody reads this. I'm just not interesting enough, and I don't update enough.

Anyway, I got my Uniquely You dressform. The measurements listed for the size I ordered were almost perfect. I just had to let out the sleeve a little on the lower hips. I can't wait until I'm done with all my Christmas knitting so I can start using it!

This is my second day of a killer migraine. It's been a long time since I had one last this long. It's almost gone, but almost doesn't really count in the world of migraines, because the slightest trigger brings them back screaming. That's what happened this morning. Everything was cool until I went outside to drive to work, and then it was like "THE LIGHT, THE LIGHT, SOMEONE TURN OFF THE SUN!" I feel like a vampire.

The weird thing about migraines is they make me talkative and playful. I sent emails today to people on ravelry.com whom I've never met before, something I normally wouldn't do. I sent out many multiple group emails cracking jokes, something I rarely do. And everything has been striking me as amusing. Maybe it's because the migraine is on the left side and the artistic, whimsical side of the brain is the right side. Maybe the left side has rolled over like a dog in the submissive pose, saying "I give up, I'm not gonna second-guess or censor anything today."

If I could just get rid of the pain in the left side of my neck I'm sure it would be banished. Damn neck.

Anyway, my Christmas knitting is WAY behind. I've only completed about 2 3/4 hats. Only 12 more to go!!! UGH. Good thing I'm accepted as the irresponsible baby of the family. New Year's hats for everyone, woohoo! Valentines hats for everyone, woohoo! They'll get them eventually. I won't be able to get away with this kind of thing much longer. The next generation is creeping into adulthood, and I'll have to reform so that I can tsk tsk about the next irresponsible baby of the family.

That's all for now. If my head didn't hurt I'd probably put in photos and stuff, but I just can't get motivated when I feel like this.
