Migraine Update. A long-awaited DHE treatment has been scheduled for the end of the month... it might not fix me for good. But I'm hoping for a big reduction in attacks. Currently, at 181 attacks in 90 days... anything is better than this.

Over the last 90 days, my chronic migraines (pre and post effects, and pain during) have added up to 55.5 full days of pain, vertigo, disorientation, and more. But it has been every single day with an average of 16 hours of attack pain a day. This 8 month period is the longest and worst I have had.

I know almost nothing about everything. There are an endless number of topics out there, and learning everything is pretty much impossible. What isn't endless is my curiosity to learn and speak from a space of expanding exploration. I do this to NOT sound smart... but to not sound totally ignorant.

For years, it has seemed that whenever anyone goes to meet with Trump, they come away infected with a totally changed personality. It reminds of BrainDead (CBS 2016), where insects have eaten the brains of the political powerful and are planning nefarious actions. Maybe?

And I like it! Thank you for not making me carry like all of the weight.

Lately, my chronic migraines have been hitting a whole new level of Dante's Inferno. I've had them since I was 10, but this feels like a new circle of hell.

I could really use a momentary escape from the chaos. If you've got adorable pets—fluffy, feathery, or scaly—I’d love to see them.

Thanks 💙"

In one month, my current tech writing project ends. The market has been very quiet, and I have no leads on another gig. If anyone needs a skilled TW with over 30 years of XP, reach out, and let's chat.

I don’t care about sports. At all. I’ve sported before and can enjoy a game socially, but you won’t find me glued to stats, teams, or playoffs. Injured millionaires and fantasy leagues? Not on my radar. I won’t yuck your yum, but if I steer the convo, it’s just me searching for common ground!

This is Sadie. She is no longer with us. But she was smart, sweet, and a very good girl... when she wanted to be. (She was really too smart to be just a dog.)
