The Cure may be worse than the disease

In July my doc gave me some migraine medication, just so I'd have some around. Today was the first day I've actually taken any. I feel like I have an IQ of about 70. Headache's gone, but I wouldn't trust myself to operate a knife and fork.

My son's report card came home with a report of his typing accuracy. How adorable! 12 WPM with a 97% accuracy. I realize that's not going to with any awards but he is SEVEN. My husband, the speed keyboardist, says his heart melts when he sees the kid's fingers poised over the home row.

What flavor medication is it? Just curious. I personally love the feeling of not being capable of operating a knife and fork. That's why I keep straws around, baby. Just a little tip from your pet Zette.

Straws. FUN!

It's called Maxalt. I'm too lazy to go look for its non-brandy name.

At my doctor's appointment Tuesday I am going to ask about a medicine that helps my "main" parkinson's med last longer. It has been known to make a person drowsy...and I imagine it will also make a knife and fork seem challenging.

I too am a speed typist...close to 100 WPM, all from manic emailing. ha

Jesus, they're teaching typing that young? Cool.

Speaking of typing, I worked a WW meeting from hell yesterday, which included essentially training a fellow worker (who was hired a YEAR ago) who couldn't type for shit. She's a teacher! So? Don't they ever use computers? Good God.

Yeah, he has keyboarding as part of his computer class.
