the_rckI had a nasty headache yesterday afternoon and evening. Today, I'm largely groggy. I'm not sure if it's hangover from the headache or just my body telling me that I've been too stressed out. The fact that my body has reset the countdown to menopause probably contributes, too.
I lay down again after Cordelia left for school. I didn't actually sleep, but I desperately wanted to. It's very clear at this point that lying on my back is better for my joints. Using the neck pillow decreases morning headaches. Sadly, I can't relax while lying flat on my back. I can relax on my side, but that starts to hurt-- knee, hip, and shoulder-- before I can fall asleep.
I'm a little peeved with Scott because it's almost noon. Cordelia left home shortly after 7:00. He has a long list of Things to Do and did exactly one of them this morning. It was one that didn't take very long. Most of the things on the list require use of the oven and therefore have to be done sequentially. He can't do any of them on Wednesday or on Thursday.
We've got a turkey in the oven right now. It'll take at least five hours, probably longer because it was still partly frozen, even after almost three days of thawing in the fridge. I had to talk Scott through getting the gravy bag, sack of innards, and neck out of cavities. He had somehow not previously encountered such things.
I'd have liked to start it going earlier, but Scott had to go out and buy a disposable pan and didn't think to while I was trying to sleep.
He got the turkey from work on Friday. Most people got hams, but his supervisor remembered that Scott can't eat ham, so Scott got a turkey.
Scott's recaulking the tub while the turkey cooks. That's on of the things on the to-do list that doesn't need the oven. He also needs to design a photo calendar for his sister's in-laws. I'd like him to repair the loveseat in the basement (we've got the necessary parts but haven't had time), and we should go and buy a replacement dishwasher (and possibly a new fridge if we can figure out how to get rid of enough stuff to fit the one we want).
I'm considering offering on a pinch hit for the time travel exchange. There's one I'm sure I can do and three that look intriguing but are for canons I only kind of know. There was one that I really wanted to offer for last night that has since been claimed. I just thought that I shouldn't offer on a pinch hit while I had a migraine. I'm not sure I should offer on one while I'm still foggy/groggy, but I can almost think now, so...
