Fitbit One update! Ask and Ye Shall Recieve.

mamamcg said: I’ve read of other people washing theirs and emailing fitbit. They got a new one for free, so if ours fell off you should let them know.

Thanks to the stellar advice above, I did email about my lost fitbit. Within 3 exchanges, despite my lack of box and receipt, they accepted me taking a photo of the accessory and are sending me a replacement!

Hopefully the next one doesn’t jump ship!

Monday ‘M’s: gratitude and gripes

First of all, you guys gave amazing migraine advice, and the worst is over. A million thank yous! And, a million curses on the migraine gods!

In other ‘m’ news, moving sucks, because it’s impossible to do alone and sucks to pay for alone (325 to 375 plus tip for like minimal furniture!). I hate annoying life activities that give you a bonus “Haha! You’re single now! And barely know anyone!” blow.

Rude. And read the tags.

Yay!

Migraines

Mine started yesterday evening, but I had weird symptoms a couple of days before. I think allergies, hormones (1 or 2 days pre-P) and heat caused it. My eyes are all red too and it’s mostly right side, with achy muscles and dry stuffy sinuses.

I didn’t sleep well, and today I’m doing the following to kill it (I have to fly Weds morning):
- caffeine - morning iced coffee and diet Pepsi every 4 hours
- Advil
- an omega 3
- heat back on neck and shoulders
- icing my eyes / head w sinus pack as needed
- Neti pot AM and PM
- breaks from work as needed
- potassium / magnesium foods
- moisture eye drops

Share your knowledge, fellow sufferers! Am I missing anything?

Happy Monday! You’re welcome.

We live in a world made up more of story than stuff. We are creatures of memory more than reminders, of love more than likes. Being attentive to the needs of others might not be the point of life, but it is the work of life. It can be messy, and painful, and almost impossibly difficult. But it is not something we give. It is what we get in exchange for having to die.

How Not to Be Alone, by Jonathan Safran Foer

Nearly every line in this commencement speech adapted to New York Times column is quotable. Go read!

I already quoted this essay but this is too good as well.

Jonathan Safran Foer’s commencement speech is one we all should read and appreciate.

“Most of the time, most people are not crying in public, but everyone is always in need of something that another person can give, be it undivided attention, a kind word or deep empathy. There is no better use of a life than to be attentive to such needs. There are as many ways to do this as there are kinds of loneliness, but all of them require attentiveness, all of them require the hard work of emotional computation and corporeal compassion. All of them require the human processing of the only animal who risks “getting it wrong” and whose dreams provide shelters and vaccines and words to crying strangers.”

Ridiculous dog is ridiculous. Holding me hostage since the moment I finished breakfast!

SATC on the Style network is killing me with the episodes that high(low)light Carrie & Big’s relationship. The pre-Paris breakup! The fiancé and Hubble!

Not a good mix with feeling fat, PMSing, and having no people plans this weekend!

Today’s Miniventure: Castlewood Canyon State Park.

Friendly, polite fellow dog owners and a bucolic drive. Can’t wait to go back sans Mitch to check out the west side - ruins and a waterfall!
