In all the years of My Headaches, this is a combination I do not remember: sleepy and headache-y.  Maybe it has happened before and one or another of them was strong enough to block my memory of the other. Can't find a graphic of sleepy headache, but this chart warns us all: Do whatever you need to do to avoid a hypertension headache: it makes your hair grow over your whole face!!* When I got up this morning, my right upper army was itching like mad.  Reaching over to scratch it, I realized there was a huge knot there.  My assumption is that both the itch and the knot are reactions to whichever shot I got in that arm.  I didn't ask that day, but again, there's another assumption: there's never been a knot at the flu shot site, so it has to be the TDAP. Not much else going on today.  Football, of course, and I spent time Mod Podge-ing all the bookmarks and bigger pieces I've made.  I'm almost caught up;  just a few more to go under the MP brush and any ...

Y'all.  Stop going through other people's phones.  Nothing good ever comes of it.  Ever.* It's been a quiet day.  It's Vandy's week off, so no watching them on TV.  The Georgia game is away, so traffic has been normal.  I made a lot of progress on Riding    the   Elephant , Craig Ferguson's memoir.  Believe it or not, I cast on for a hat.  Eighty-six stitches, and it felt like it took forever.  Thirty or forty stitches is all I can bear, so who knows whether it will be done by really cold, hat-wearing weather? It's a kit from  Wool and the Gang : the Hands Up hat.  This is it, in the colorway I'm using: You had to know it was purple. *I've been watching police bodycam videos.

So far so good on the post-vaccine front.  I did feel not-so-great last night, but today's been fine.  I think I might still need Covid, RSV and --- couldn't agree more, Twinnie --- shingles.  Actually, what shots I'm told I need has depended on which website's quiz I took.  I see my psychiatrist next week;  I'll seek his considered opinion. Screeching into randomness: Who "invented" the top hat?  How did Inspiration lead to, "Black.  And tall.  Quite tall, as a matter of fact." This may be my reaction alone, but putting flourescent lights in an EGYPTIAN TOMB seems very disrespectful, not to mention just flat-out  wrong.

At the end of each of my son's  podcast  episodes, he and his colleagues recommend a movie or a book or some music.  I'll step into that today and sincerely, highly recommend It's for rent on Amazon.  Briton and I have been waiting for the opportunity to see it, chiefly because of the two there on the poster.  (They do still have movie posters, right?)  That's David Strathairn (an extraordinary actor) and Jane Levy (a big favorite of Briton's;  this is the first time I've watched her --- she's wonderful.)  If I made a robust, concerted effort to admire Strathairn any more, I could not.  The man is spectacular.  On a kind of side note, the first time I ever saw him was due to my Redford fandom.  This can serve as another recommendation, actually: Quite a cast (yes, that's Poitier peeking in.)  The only person missing from the poster is Ben Kingsley.  I do enjoy Sir Ben. I got my flu and my TDAP vaccines this afternoon....

 Does anyone else have, like, lots  of scissors in their "workspace?"   Despite that, does anyone else find it hard to locate a pair when you really need them?  " I JUST HAD THEM!"   And then do you ask the dog if he's seen them? And your dog is never  any help...

Wrens are rather marvelous, don't you think?  They are my favorite, though a bird that I truly dislike isn't coming to mind. On the subject of birds, I came across these two photos displayed just like this.  They're charming individually, but this is kind of magical. The tooth that was capped about six weeks ago has been giving me trouble the past couple of weeks.  I was waiting for the first of the month (when money shows up) to go back in and have it looked at, and today was the day.  The tooth is extremely sensitive, and what my dentist said was that as much trouble that that tooth has been, I probably needed to decide between a root canal and an extraction.  That's hardly a choice at all, frankly.  So in a couple of weeks, I'm going back to the dentist who did my implant (actually implantS) and get that ball rolling.  My current mood:
