rivervision - since election day of 2000.

Thursday, 5 July 07 :: vacation in the middle of the week.

not sure if i liked how this day fell.. smack dab in the middle of the week.. very odd that we all had today off, and yet i have class tommorrow.. the meeting tommorrow, i don't mind, but class.. it's simply wrong.

the last few days have been tough. i've been suffering the worst migraine episode i can remember.. it started monday during the day - i knew i was trying to stop a migraine from coming on, so i did the usual ice on my neck and ibuprofen, unfortunately that didn't stop the full on migraine from coming on. i thought i was going to die on monday night, not being able to sleep, vomit (which usually leads to the migraine ending), sit still, anything.. for a few hours. tuesday was more of feeling crappy, and class, and simply feeling ill.. with less of a headache, but it was still here.. finally today i hit it with an exc3drin migraine and it went away, mostly. anyhow, my point - not really one, but simply recording it this migraine and all that went along with it. very very suprising, and i'm glad it's on its way out.. i may hit it with one more migraine tablet, because i can still feel it in the back of my neck.

i need to write a post about the razor i bought, but i think i'll let that wait till another day. it's very surprising that i made this purchase, thats why it deserves a post.

on that note, this has been a very boring post, but it was more intended to record the migraine. i'm glad its over, and i hope i never have such an experience like that ever again. those who battle with them far more than i do are amazing people, and those who have brain tumors - i can't even imagine anything worse than what i went through. simply amazing people who deal with such pain, simply amazing people.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
