For the first time in years, I seem to have returned to The Land of the Cluster Migraine. In some ways, "cluster" can be a misnomer for this type of headache. When I was working for That One Guy lo these many years ago, I once endured a headache over the course of something like four months (no, it never stopped; no, not even when I was asleep - it just got worse or less-worse, with no cessation whatsoever, for actual months on end). That ain't a cluster, that's a single nasty monster-ache, over a season or more.
Right now, though, "cluster" is about right - it's letting up from time to time. But, I believe, my output here has been affected, and I can say for certain my output at Twitter has plummeted. Perhaps all to the good, that part.
Unfortunately, the output in querying has been constrained as well. I've never been an email blaster, but I can recall getting three and even six or eight queries out in one night, in the past.
So it is with tempered joy, but at least some satisfaction, I realize I've reached the point where I'm soldiering on through the pain. Got some good submitting done tonight, and that after a seriously hectic, but rather rewarding (and long) day at work.
Not half bad, considering the unseemly relations I indulged earlier today, with a fist full of NSAIDs.
And so now: beddy-bye time. Anything that happens there with Gossamer the Editor Cat is strictly seemly.
