This morning's lazy-recovery-morning art doodle. I This morning's lazy-recovery-morning art doodle. It would seem I have another "new manifestation" of migraine. The worst stinking earache. Well, really, ear pain isn't new, but it was the worst yesterday. I was on the edge of leaving work and getting a ride to urgent care thinking it might be some monster ear infection because it wasn't a typical pain. But it eased back enough just in time and the lovely incessant-yawning fatigue set in. Then last night's weird hard sleep. All things considered, way far from the worst migraine, but some intense, though fortunately relatively short-lived, pain. 

Time to engage the day's activity. Have a good Saturday, Friends. 👍
