The Knives, Clarice...

I am on day 5 of my current headache. At first, I thought it was leftover construction dust at the house, but now I'm thinking it's the weather.

I long for spring.

I promised a picture of the piano, so here:

I feel you pain. Literally. I've been dealing with this migraine since Friday. Right now, my vision is kinda wonky. Monday, I canceled my second lecture.

And it took 1.5 repetitions of your icon for me to realize that it was in alphabetical order. I thought it was a SuperHero animation .....

I loathe turquoise - I don't even merit a precious stone, apparently - so I am claiming Tanzanite (a very pretty clear lavender stone) as December's birthstone. Who's with me?

ME!!!!! I hate, loathe and despise turquoise but since I was a December baby everyone thinks it's a perfect gift. Tanzanite is a perfect choice, I love the color of it, the sparkle, everything.

I wonder who we have to petition to have it changed....

I hear you! Fellow Sag here myself. I received a LOT of Turquoise, mostly from my Grandfather who dabbled in jewelry and lived in Arizona. He did give me a beautiful Citrine pendant for my 16th birthday that I still wear and love.

Personally I grabbed garnet for myself.

"10. What is the best ice cream flavor?
Best? I don't know- my tastes are not exactly mainstream. My favourite flavour is Coldstone Creamery's white chocolate mixed with raspberry sorbet, drizzled with caramel sauce, in a waffle cone. Decadence."

O MY GOD That sounds good! Must find closest Coldstone Creamery immediately!

It is really, really good - I'm surprised they don't offer some version of it (more people would like chocolate sauce, I imagine) as a mixing choice. After all Godiva has a version...

My Coldstone does not stock the White Chocolate ice cream.

I. Have. No. Words. Rat bastards just doesn't do it for me.

When I was a kid, December was garnet. Then somewhen in the 70's someone else got it and I got turqouise. I actually like turquoise, I've got some very nice real Amerindian stuff, not the sears stuff. But I don't like it enough to make it an every day signature of ME, you know? So I just pretend that it's still garnets. Works for me.

Normal for me, and a lot of people with chronic headaches, alas. I can usually keep them under control with OTC stuff, so I don't bother.

Since they're almost certainly allergy related (I know a bacterial infection when I get one), there isn't much a doctor can do. I just use my salt inhaler, pop some Excedrine, and wait for the front to come through. :)

Oh, crap. I called them 'Saint Louis headaches'. As in, the weather there was a good deal more variable, and - argh. I know what you mean.

I wish I could give you some of the stuff in my strategic reserve. I don't break into it often, because while it can take the edge off pain nothing else can touch, it does really fuck one up. ::sympathy and Elizabethan stuff::
