Well, that was kind of freaky

At about 9.30 this morning, I developed a blind-spot and I mean that literally. For about 10 minutes, I simply couldn't see what was in the bottom right quarter of my field of vision. It was only when I also started to see flashing lights that I started to think maybe it wasn't eye-related but brain related. When I told a colleague, her immediate reaction was "you're getting a migraine. go home."

Judging by the pain in my head, she was right, although I'm getting off lightly, and it's bearable for the moment. And no, I don't intend to look at the screen for much longer. Even I'm not that daft. Well. Not quite. Probably.

So now I have a whole new exciting field to research - I like to know what's happening to me, especially when it involves brain cells, and if I'm going to get migraines, even mild ones, I want to be ready for it. Research skillz - I has them.

Assuming things done get worse, there will be fic later (thrilling, I know, but try to contain your excitement ;)) and some proof-reading of the tardis_bigbang website. We go live tomorrow and still so much to do!

How's everyone doing? Do drop in to say hi. I'll be here all day, in between headaches...

Fifteen things

My head is feeling much better, although still a little achy, so I'm glad these are written and just need pasting in. I wrote these on the train on the way up to Manchester, and I think at this point, I have to admit defeat on the rest of the 'Five Things…' prompts. It's possible that I actually have to admit defeat on Torchwood fic full-stop, but that's another meta that can wait until we see what S3 brings us. For the rest, I just can't make them work, and trying is just depressing me, so I'm calling it quits here. Sorry, but hopefully I'll have plenty of fic for you over the next few months to make up for it!

Anyway, sorry to those whose prompts will remain unwritten. Here are some more to be going on with:

I can't remember who prompted this and so this is for whoever gave me the prompt…

( Five people who entered the Hub before the current Torchwood crew [Torchwood (duh); drabbles] )

I do remember that this one is for miss_zedem

( Five Times Sheppard didn't see it coming [SGA; list-form] )

I had 2 Discworld prompts, but I think this is for mad_jaks. Or aeron_lanart, who just doesn't remember that it's her ;)

( Five times DEATH took a holiday [Discworld; dialogue-only] )
