(Apathy Reigns Supreme)

They're trying to force me over to the "new" blogger, which would mean dropping my old template, which would mean leaving all my years of html work behind. NO. I like it not, as Tolkien said about Lewis' Narnia series. I don't like Narnia either, incidentally.

A gripe, because it wouldn't be one of my posts without one: I went on Topamax to help control migraines. It works, by gad! But I needed to increase the dose. Suddenly, people can't understand me, and I found myself staring at a reference to Bosworth field (385) knowing I knew what it was but being completely unable to recover the knowledge-- and this was happening all the time, with all sorts of things. But the migraines were so so few, and so so mild. But I decreased the Topamax on my own, just to get my mind back. Turns out that along with my mind comes migraines. I left work early today after a fairly useless nearly-two-hour meeting, got home a bit before four, and slept until nearly 8. I still have the migraine, and it's roaring back to life a bit, having dulled down at one point (God bless you Relpax-- which, of course, I'm fresh out of, having taken the last pill at work).

It is really, really not fair (yes, I know that life is not fair) that I have to decide whether I want my brain to be dysfunctional in the area of memory and coherence or to be dysfunctional in the area of pain signals. And I'm having other pain flare-ups too, elsewhere, which aren't helping anything, but that's enough fascination medical detail for tonight.

I leave tomorrow for my college roommate's wedding. I'm missing work and had to swap Saturdays with someone in order to get there, bleah. Puts me off schedule and leaves me down either one vacation day or two, depending on how they count this. I found out that the hotel has wireless, and I'm HOPING that I can get my computer to cooperate so that I can work on our library's Library Thing account (not to be confused with my personal account on the right) and that maybe, just maybe, they'll take pity and give me some comp time, maybe at least enough to make up for today's missed time.

My head hurts. I'm going in search of pills now.

Toodles.
