some good things make a post

kaberett(1) Paper has been handed back to the appropriate editor, which was the next step in the relevant process.
(2) Triptans do in fact make a positive identifiable difference (and this is true even if the first dose didn't seem to work).
(3) We have had three days of afternoon-tea-and-cake, from the selection of Ottolenghi cakes that came home with us on Saturday, and it's been properly lovely to have An Tea Break of that ilk. I am contemplating what things I'm interested in baking are good options for continuing this pattern (given that some of the pleasure has been in the variety, which isn't really achievable when there's, well, two of you and one large cake).
(4) Supervisor meeting this afternoon v productive. I have successfully convinced them that I'm at least right enough about [core point of scientific disagreement], which means that while I need to shuffle bits of chapter 5 around and also shove more explanatory figures in it is basically all there (!).
(5) And thensciatrix very kindly held my hand through doing some Actual Statistics (Sorta), and the first-pass result is Promising though I need to do some more detailed breakdowns at a point when I do not appear to be having my second migraine in three days.
(6) I successfully got the problematic ebook onto my ereader! By dint of booting up my Windows partition, which is extremely What Even but lends credence to the idea that whatever is going on with my wine-flavoured ADE is some form of IE version fuckery. But the point is that the relevant ebook that I bought is now on my ereader, and I have lots of things to roll around in excitedly.
(7) I have blocked The Shawl. There are a couple of bits I'm slightly unhappy with and contemplating having another fine-detail go at, but -- it is in essence ready to pack up and send off, which I am very excited about. Ravelry says I've been working on it intermittently since January 2016, so, you know, maybe now I have this particular object finished I will start knitting more again!
(8) Made a big vat of veg stew yesterday, and A has been making DUMPLINGS to go in it, and I am enjoying this very much.
(9) I have remote-watching a film with The Cousins Various in the diary for this weekend, and I am definitely looking forward to it (... and should work out what to bake for us for that, hmm).
(10) aaaaaand being curled up warm in pyjamas and a hoody is also good. thank you and good night.

Apologies if you're already aware of this, but mentions of ravelry and migraines in close proximity now set off loud alarm bells! None the knitters and crocheters I know in RL knew about the issues until I told them, and several had problems with the new site.
