Monday kitty stuff

Mikaido has decided that she needs to sleep on top of the TV. If the flat part on top of the TV were wide enough, this would be fine, mostly because we're using the damn thing as a paperweight. But it's not, so we are constantly 'entertained' by the sounds of her losing her balance and scrabbling with her claws to keep from falling down behind the entertainment center.

Did you know...

That it's actually possible to throw up so hard that you not only sprain your pectoral muscles, but wind up looking like Mike Tyson used you for a punching bag? Yep. Comprehensive dry heaves hurt like you would not believe. So now, I'm probably going to miss my mom's birthday party tomorrow because I don't need people assuming Hubby is beating on me and calling the police. Yes, I look that bad. Fun!

ZOMFG!!eleventy-one!

Hubby and I found a 1918 Franklin treadle sewing machine at a yard sale today. For FIVE FREAKING DOLLARS! The case is shite, looks like water damage, but the machine itself is almost pristine. And it's just gorgeous, kind of Egyptian revival style. Accessories (esp bobbins) may be a pain, but it will be offset by the joy of having a sewing machine I can actually use. And it will be good therapy for my hip!

For those keeping track

Yes, I still have the migraine, but it seems to be winding down. I hope...

Geeky Joy

I'd almost forgotten about this gem from the first season of Stargate: Atlantis. Then i09 decided to defend McKay (he needs defending?) and brought is back. In this scene, McKay discovered an Ancient forcefield device and is testing it with Sheppard.



The expression on Sheppards face when he confesses he shot Rodney is priceless! Just seeing their geeky joy at the thought of a personal force field make me laugh.

Going for a record...

My personal migraine record is a little more than two days. I'm looking to break that with this one - almost thirty hours right now. Ah, the joys of stress-induced headaches that make you want to throw up, eh?

I really need a laugh

Right now, we have no car. We will have no car until my parents get the money together to fix it, since they're only lending it to us. So. Not only are we stuck here, because the bus system SUCKS and i really, really can't walk all that far, but Grandma and Janie are stuck here, runnning out of food and going stir crazy. And I have a migraine.

But, Martin's working, at least for awhile. So, yay.
