Random, but true

My cat, old man Ring, fell off the second landing and onto the stairs on the floor below. I'm not sure what he hit first, but when I ran down the stairs to see to him he was on his feet. He walked back up on his own too. He was a bit shaken up, but seems none the worse for wear. We've blocked off the railing over the stairs now.

Found some new (to me) information on migraines from Migraine.org (though I see the site is down, so the wayback version is here). Stuff that I've always suffered through, but never been able to definitively connect to anything. Now I've got answers.

For example, all five of our senses can be particularly sensitive. I thought my reaction to strong perfumes (wicked nasty migraine) was an allergy. It's far more likely it's just a trigger for migraines (splitting hairs, but it makes a difference in what medications I take to control it).

If you are, or think you are, a migraine sufferer I suggest reading through that information.

I've been working my way through the Ancient Aliens series. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, there's stuff in there for you. Fascinating information regardless. They lay out the facts, and then offer differing opinions on what that means exactly. They lead in a particular direction, of course. But it's all interesting. Stuff about history I'd never realized before (stuff they don't tell you in school).

That's about it for now. I'm currently roasting alive here. My voice still isn't recovered from my recent Laryngitis. I can talk, but my voice gives out easily. It dries out fast and makes me start coughing. Can't sing worth a crap anymore. So, so frustrating.

So what's going on with the rest of you?
