some things make a post

[kaberett]

• I have been... less entirely non-functional today than I expected. I am not sure whether this is to do with taking one (1) triptan, leaving it two hours, going "well this has made fuck-all difference", and taking The Illicit Codeine, or... what, but I need to go back over my notes and check the extent to which "middle day is less bad" is a pattern and which of those sets of decisions about medication it correlates with. (And for that matter see if tomorrow is worse again.)
  
• I have also been experimenting with prochlorperazine, an anti-emetic, and I think it's been helping a little with the nausea? But my ability to self-monitor mid-migraine still isn't great.
  
• behold the handout for the walking tour of sundials in the centre of Cambridge, which I had cause to link elsewhere and am still inordinately fond of.
  
• NEW DINOSAUR doing a thing that we have not previously identified any animal doing in terms of defensive features
  
• Today's post brought, among other things, a 20cm wooden scoop, which I have now established is vastly preferable to the ladles for Decanting Flour from the 25kg sacks. Currently it is drying after being wiped off with a damp sponge, and tomorrow's jobs include lightly oiling it to make it a little happier.
  
• I am v v grateful for all the comments, even while I'm not managing to actually reply to them in anything remotely resembling a timely fashion. (I still have the post about wearable fitness tracker Things open to respond to, for example, but... brains! Apparently.)

Re: wearables, the third gen Oura ring is now available and has more functionality, but there is also an ongoing membership fee for app access I think (though I bought a lifetime membership with my ring). Notable differences include daytime activity heartrate tracking and nighttime SpO2 monitoring.

I like that sundials thing

NEW DINOSAUR doing a thing that we have not previously identified any animal doing in terms of defensive features

GOOD FOR THEM. I wish I too could grow spikes from my ribs; it would discourage unwanted proximity.

Btw a recent "In Our Time" is on "The Evolution of Crocodiles" and is VERY GOOD:

YAY DINOSAUR.

And boo very much to your migraines. This is so fucking unfair and shitty. The amount of record-keeping and monitoring you're doing is amazing, and your doctors should realise just how unusual it is and fucking read your notes.

Yay! Dinosaurs and Sundials

The sundial walk is very interesting to see the handout for, and I'll bet the clocks are neat to watch. If you have the time to notice them.

New dinosaur thing. Evolution really does make some interesting decisions, doesn't it?

Cooooool dinosaur!

The ankylosaur fancier in my house strongly approves of the new dinosaur.
