I've been fighting this same damned migraine since sometime late last week. Mine aren't as severe as many people's (or at least rarely get to that point), but they do tend to last for several days at a time. Five days is really pushing it and deeply obnoxious, though. Even took yesterday off in hopes of killing it by avoiding light and computer screens and headsets. No luck. Also, running low on my migraine meds. Argh.

Anyone local know what interesting plays, lectures, or dance productions are happening in town on the 27th and 28th of this month? That's a Wed/Thurs. Mom and Dad are coming in to town, and I know we're doing the zoo, but we also need some additional things to do. I figure with Mom and me both being pretty limited in the amount of hiking about we can do, following the zoo with a museum the next day is probably a bad idea. I was hoping for something at CPT, but no luck there. We're also hoping for something inexpensive; I'd like ticket prices under $15 if I can find them. I've been looking through some of the event calendars, and will do more when I'm less headachey and spacy, but for now I'm seeking suggestions. My folks are not particularly prudish or easily shocked; topic is less of a consideration than expense and timing.

Also, I'm predicting an imminent Critter Coup D'etat in our household. We've got our four dogs, five cats, and snake. We've got Coco every other week during the days. Yesterday AwesomesauceBoss dropped off his beagle Ellie to stay with us 'til the 27th. This weekend we get Tulip and Hamlet for several days. Hooboy, it's going to be interesting. Happily, Ellie really settled in quickly this time. Last time she stayed with us was the first time, and she parked herself by the front door for about the first six hours after Boss left, whining and waiting for him to come rescue her. This time she settled right down on the couch with us, and there's been a real minimum of whining and forelorn dog-face. Also, while Grafton was asleep last night she fetched all the tennis balls and random socks she could find, and deposited them in his bed.

Work continues to be hectic, between the rush of new residents and the knowledgebase work. My blackberry continues to infuriate me. Reloaded the OS entirely, and lost the browser in the process. I've been doing some research today, and it looks like just resending the service books should fix it, thankfully. I haven't been doing myself any favors on the migraine front trying to wrestle with a crappy laptop, a loose mini-USB port, and a three-year-old blackberry. If one thing doesn't fail, it's another, and it's making all the reloading and such extra-infuriating. Also, while I'm messing about with the blackberry, I'm ending up missing a lot of texts and phone calls. *sigh*

The garden, on the other hand, is full of awesome. I love sitting on the front porch and just looking at it. It's been a slow start, but the plants are really growing and developing so fast now, and we're already harvesting zucchini and a few peppers, as well as some of the earlier onions. The snap pea vines on the front fence haven't survived the more intense heat particularly well, but we got quite a bit off them before they died, so I'm pretty happy. They're early-season plants anyway.
