migraine with aura

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.07.10

One of my colleagues had laser eye surgery recently. She came to the office the other day and was panicking thinking she'd have to go home because she was suddenly getting a weird pattern of lights in her eye. But she went to the 'net and discovered that it looked for all the world like migraine aura. Her first bout in her entire life. I hope it's not as a result of the surgery!

Three good things that happened today:

  1. Got some interesting work done.

  2. Did some studying.

  3. Got home before the forecast monster rainstorm hit.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
