Headache Log

03/29/2011

6:30 awoke with a blinding headache. Normaly lights too intense to bear, even the LCD monitor on my computer was too intense. I took a full does of the Rx, called in sick to work, and returned to bed until 9:30. Vertigo seem fairly bad.

9:30 headache persisted but at a lower level.

11:00 or there abouts the headache intensity lowered to a mild pain and very little vertigo.

By afternoon headache nearly all gone.

Headache Log

03/28/2011

about 9:30 am began getting a headache with photophobia. I only had a full does of the Rx with me and I took that. Did not seem to affect the headache, by 10:30 I was in severe pain and barely able to function. I took an early lunch about 11:30 and with rest and food the headache abated and I was able to complete my work day, though the headache remained in a mild fashion throughout the day.

Sunday Night Movie posting, postponed

Hello all.

I did watch a Sunday Night Movie last night, but today I suffered a really nasty migraine attack. It started at work, I managed to beat it down with my Rx, but it never fully subsided.

Tomorrow will be better.

About 10:00 started getting a headache from loud yelling while shopping at Costco. Came home and took 1/2 a dose of rx. Headache did not develop.

Tech Blues

I am hoping that I will not have to replace my PS3 system. It has developed a curious fault. It loves to lock-up at the home-screen. It plays games, videos, and Discs just fine, but once you return to the home screen the damned thing loves to lock-up tight.
I have no idea what is causing this.

Well I’ll call it improvement

Things are getting better on my rejection slip front. While I have not made any sales recently. (Sigh, two years.) I am now seeing frequent, though not constant, comments in my rejections slips. I do not always get the form rejection these days and I will call that an improvement.

On Writing

The curious thing about writing for me is how much I avoid it before I get started. This, from what I hear, is not unique to me. In fact amongst SF writers I heard it gets called, ‘vacuuming the cat.’ That writers will come up with the most creative lists of thing that have to be done before they can get to work, such as vacuuming the cat.

I don;t make lists and excuses I just have a hard time avoiding the time sink that is the internet.

What’s curious, at least to me, is that once I have started it’s fun and I enjoy whatever process I am working on. Tonight I hemmed and hawed before settling down to work, but once I did I flew through ten pages of edits. ou would think something I enjoy wouldn’t be so hard to start.

Libya

So we are flying sorties and dropping explosives in yet another middle eastern country. really I do not see the pressing US National interest that compels this action.

I feel for the Libyan rebels. Their dictator is insane and I will not shed one tear for him when he finally is shoved off this mortal coil, but that doesn’t mean we should be the ones directly shoving. We have much more important matters to deal with, such as our debt and the coming crush of debt if we do not do something about our expenditures.

As far as the wars in the middle east, we should get out of them. Libya? Not our concern. Iraq, wasn’t a pressing need for that war to big with and it’s up to the Iraqis — whoever they are — to fix the situation.  Afghanistan?, frankly I don’t care if that go back to playing stick and ball with each others heads, as long as there is not a base of operation for our enemies to operate out of.

Al Queda I think can be handled at the Special Forces level of military operations now, not the carrier group level. Let them fear the dark and the bad rough Americans who wait for them there, but let’s stop this foolish fighting the current war like it is the last one.
