Woohoo...?

More than four weeks with no headaches...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my upcoming trip to Canada will be a celebration of 5 weeks with no headaches. It's just the little things...

More Adventures...

A certain gentleman who exercises regularly, admits to being a pothead, and notes that it's important that his prospective dates have good hygeine. Then he notes that he likes golden showers. Kinda flies in the face of the hygiene thing, no?

Adventures in Dating Websites and Other Stuff

Bridget had baby Liadan a month ago now. I've been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with them, and Liadan is just beautiful. Bridget seems to be doing quite well. I know she'll be a great mom :)

I got a fantastic compliment from a gentleman from Toronto on okcupid.com. "Curling makes you an honorary Canadian." *sigh* Does it get any better than that? I need to move to Canada.

And the creepiest thing I saw on the same website (different profile):
"The most private thing I'm willing to admit:
babies are so cute, the yare tiny and adorable and i just wanna hold them. im fixed tho so no worries there."
Oh, there's so much wrong with this...

And finally, 3 weeks with no headaches and then they came back Wednesday after work, and just in time for my interview Thursday morning. I took some naproxen Thursday morning just to take the edge off and so that I wouldn't feel like complete ass for the interview. I woke up Friday around 4 in the morning with tears streaming down my face. It took me a minute to realize it was because my head hurt so bad. Makes me wonder if something else is going on since this wasn't positional. Maybe there is a migraine component? Ugh - who can say? No headache this morning, though, so maybe this latest bout is over.

Sigh.

-Two and a half weeks with no headaches...this feels like an accomplishment that I truly have no control over, but I'll take it an run with it anyway. My appointment with the neurosurgeon went well, as the MRI looked better this time around. My brain's not nearly as saggy and things seem to be healing. I get to go back in May.

-Work is getting to me. I'm trying to keep plugging along, but my motivation is at an all-time low, and I think it's pathetic that I find going to the plant an accomplishment. I need to buckle down and focus on what I want to do next - either commit to making this work, or find another job, or figure out if I want to go back to school. I feel like an office job will eventually make me insane, but that could be because I haven't had one for so long. Maybe there would just be an adjustment period. Or maybe it's time to find a career that would make me feel better about how I'm spending my time...something more altruistic...

-I sometimes watch Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade so that I feel better about my cooking. Her use of cooking spray is horrifying to me. I'm watching her make catfish, and she actually breaded the catfish and then sprayed the top with cooking spray. I don't think that was necessary.
