bronwynrhI'm floating on a sea of phenergan and frovatriptan. Whoa, dudes.
I woke up with a pokey stabby pain in my neck that has turned into the tell-tale pokey stabby pain through my neck and right eyebrow.
Jeebus, it took 8 tries to type that correctly.
I think the super dopey feeling means that the pain relief is soon to come. I hope that's what it means. I'm sipping lab coffee in the meantime to counteract the D'UH sensation. Seriously. Whoa, dudes.
Alok is going to take me to the enzyme core for a little shopping. Maybe I'll have him take me to biochem stores, too while we're at it. It's nice to have a chaperone at times like these.
I actually have big ambitions for today in lab. PCR, a little cloning, a transformation and plating. Kid's stuff really, but more mol bio than I've done in about an eon and half. That's what it feels like, anyway.
We'll see how that goes.
Yes, yes yes. I think the pain is subsiding. Thank HAROLD for GOOD DRUGS. And LJ just witnessed it. Wow.
Holy hell, I hate these fucking migraines.
By the way, we are on Day 3 of 50mg/day of Topamax. We've had three migraines in the last week. The first one was slain with a dose of Zomig. The second (on Sunday) with a dose of phenergan and Toradol and a three-hour nap.
Today's dragon still lives, but it does seem to be whimpering somewhat. Let's hope it doesn't get a second wind.
. . . And my primers just arrived, which means I can make a stab at that mol bio now. Let's see if I'm any good at designing primers in Pseudomonas. It wasn't easy.

One talks about books, someone else talks about a Duran Duran concert, and here you are talking about bio-stuff that's over my head but interesting nonetheless.
And I hope your migraine goes away soon. I agree - those are a bitch. :(
