My mother's family has a history of migraine and aura activity; my aunt occasionally fainted when one of the auras came on (she was a classroom teacher, so that was a spectacular event for her students to behold.) I've had only one full-blown migraine but a lot of the low-grade headache and extreme tiredness brought on by photosensitivity. Driving to work at sunrise I always had to stop part way and take a motrin and a power nap for 5-10 minutes. It didn't seem normal, but I thought the light must have something to do with it. Now I make a point of avoiding driving into the rising or setting sun (rising is worst, for some reason).

Dishwasher running after cleaning in the kitchen and this morning I decluttered the drawer where the boxes of gloves and the parchment and plastic wrap and several types of sandwich and freezer bags also reside. The space was awkward and I realized it was because of about a quarter of the space one side being filled with bags of old twist ties, chunks of wire, rubber bands, and various bag closures. I pulled them all out, vacuumed the drawer, sorted some of the best into three bags (rubber bands, twist ties, and zip ties). Those are now in a plastic shoe box in the bottom empty space of a cupboard nearby and the drawer doesn't need a shoehorn (reaching in to move a box that is keeping the drawer from opening).

Now to do the editing for a friend whose self-published book is being managed by a company and I think will be available print-on-demand after the first run. She needs an author blurb (the first one she wrote would absolutely scare me away from reading the book, so I asked her to stop reading it out loud to me and we'll start fresh and compare them later.) I've run out of stuff to clean so I guess I'd better sit down to that task. If I still had cats I'd be doing the litter boxes first. A writer with a deadline has a very clean house, have you noticed?
