Mosaic Minds, headaches and Sam's
Dec. 1st, 2006 08:37 pmPeople are always asking me if I've had any morning sickness. Kind of, but the thing is, I am so over morning sickness. It just does not interest me. The medicine I've taken for my insulin resistance over the last year and a half gave me constant morning sickness equivalence. What I'm actually having trouble with is the headaches. My mom gave me a hard time for blaming my problems on her grandbaby today, but I have had a fairly serious headache at least once a week, most weeks. Migraine-style of varying intensities. Tylenol gives it a shot, but it's like sending a turtle into the rink to fight Muhammed Ali. It just can't end well, you know? The weather has been crazy this week, so I've been fighting a mild headache since Tuesday, but it's gotten bad today. I'm feeling much better at the moment, having been fed and watered and re-drugged and home for the weekend. I have always been prone to headaches, but they have gotten so much worse since I've been pregnant.
I am feeling much better with the world today. This is because it is Friday, in large part. Also because.... I can now announce to you that a new issue of Mosaic Minds is online! The theme is Dreams and Nightmares. Please someone, won't you submit a masthead for a future theme? I am worn out with the mastheads. There are some specifications here, although the available upcoming themes is out of date (that link is from a blurb on the front page of a prior issue--I should create a static masthead page sometime.) Check the sidebar on the front page for a list of themes.
Tomorrow, we are going to spend free money at Sam's Club. M's employer gives out Christmas bonuses in a sort of fun way--they give gift cards to Sam's, and what you don't spend during the alotted time period, you give back. In our case, that means $425--it's a standard $500, but it's prorated since M hasn't worked there all year. That's a lot of money! Especially since you do have to spend it all, right then. We also have to be there at eight in the morning, and it takes 45 minutes to get there, so there goes sleeping in. I think it'll be worth it. I mean, I woke up at four in the morning last week to save a few dollars and fight a gazillion people for the right to do it, so it does fit the cost-benefit analysis. Besides that, I get up that early for more absurd reasons, like going to work. We are strongly considering buying a new digital camera.. one that's small enough to take with us anywhere we go. Our camera is a little clunky, so we tend to leave it in the car. We'd like one that would at least fit easily into my purse. Or a diaper bag. Oh, goodness, did I just say that? After that.. who knows? We could buy a lot of frozen chicken because it's cheap there and.. but how much chicken do we actually need? Sam's, by the way, is a wholesale (kind of) warehouse for which you have to pay a yearly membership fee, and they are aimed at small businesses, for the most part. So, there are some limits on what they actually carry and what we can therefore spend the money on.
And that's where I put my head down on my desk and zoned out for twenty minutes. I think maybe I could stand to go to bed early. It's a little embarassing that it's only 8:30, though, on a Friday night no less.
