Woah

*spangly things floating across my vision*

Achieved a great deal today. Managed a budget, edited stuff, arranged project management schedule, negotiated processes, set meetings and completed administration of things it would be too complex to try and explain. Ran a couple of teleconferences and did grocery shopping on my way home.

Came home to a blue garage door.

This woud be fine if my garage door was normally blue. But it's normally ochre. So that was a tad disruptive. Nevertheless, to the soundtrack of Clay Shirky's speech in ITConversations (well worth a listen, on ontology and categorisation systems), I entered said blue garage, went upstairs, prepared a meal, ate it and have just now collapsed in front of my PC.

And that's when the floating spangly things began. I'm assuming this is just because I had about an hour's sleep last night. In any case this is prewarning that I plan to sleep tonight. Actually I think even my insomnia is planning on sleeping tonight. So I'm off to watch the idiot box for a couple of hours and then sleep. G'nite all.

Spangly things across your vision are sometimes precursers to migraines. Could be caused by stress too.
Think you need to get a lot more rest than you have been getting. Look after yourself please.

I occasionally get stars in my eyes. Never been quite sure what causes it. Sometimes it's when a I stand up, sometimes when I roll over while reading in bed ... sometimes I just turn my head and they appear.

Always thought the effect was kinda cool. Don't get migraines though.

If the garage door is ochre again tomorrow, you definitely needed the sleep.

Hope you get some sleep.

I would suggest the cause is vascular for both Jo & Demos (and probably a factor in Misty's migraines). Too much blood going up into the head and/or not enough coming down again. All of you, relax, have a hot bath and go get yourselves a massage!

I must admit that I thought initially that someone had painted your garage blue during the day when you were at work. This may not be the best thought to share with you all, a little embarrassing.

Hope that you got that sleep.
