Well, that was kind of freaky

[jadesfire]

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...

I'm glad you're doing better. *hugs*

Much appreciated, thanks :) It was scary there for a while!

Yeah, any time something goes wonky with your vision, that's really, really frightening.

And speaking of wonky vision, I'm working on Oscar the Cat now. :-) I have the basic drawing in, and I think he's going to be much simpler than Chia! Short black fur FTW.

Would you like the moonlit background like I did for Deelaundry's kitty (in icon here), or any particular color?

Also, although tempted, I have not applied a piratey eye-patch to the bad eye. *g*

ETA that I am leaning toward a green-gold backdrop for Oscar, since his green-gold eyes are the only bright color on him. Although a mixed-blue backdrop would work well since I'll have plenty of blue highlights in his black coat. Thoughts?

*nodnodnod* I was looking at a piece of paper and literally couldn't see what was written in the bottom right-hand corner. It just...wasn't there. Seriously freeky.

Hee, Oscar was fluffy, but not *that* fluffy. And well done for resisting the eye-patch. Much appreciated :)

I'd prefer a plain background, I think, more like the one for Chia. Moons aren't really J's thing ;)

Woot!

ETA: I've only just seen your ETA! I'm happy to trust you on colour, since I have no instinct for it. Plain and simple would suit us better, but apart from that, I trust you!
