I've been going swimming every Tuesday night for about the last six weeks. I started with trying out "public swim," but have now progressed to "lap swim". So far it's been good.

Okay, I don't get this. I had a migraine that lasted four grueling days. I tried over the counter migraine medicine, messing with my caffeine and sugar levels, sleeping more (when I could sleep), laying down in a dark quiet room, drinking more water than normal - anything I could think of to at least make something change but - with limited luck ( Read more... )

The mouse went back to the vet and had her bandage taken off today. She has a few bald spots and is missing an ear from her ordeal, but otherwise she looks pretty good. Now I have to watch her like a hawk to make sure she doesn't mess herself up again. I'm still in awe that she lived at all.
