swestrupI dragged myself out of bed around 4:00 pm today. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately so I really slept in. And, of course, when that happens I wake up with a migraine. Normally the cure for that is 2 x ACC + 2 x Cafe-au-Lait, but our espresso machine is not working (we think its just clogged, but no one has had the chance to look at it lately).
So, the loverly![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taxlady took a few minutes off from her busy schedule (tax season is roaring into full swing) to make me some extra strong coffee, while I sat on the couch and whimpered.
Its worked and my headache is now just an annoying ache, not a skull spitting monster.
On the news side I got some bad and some much worse news this 'morning'.
The first I was rather expecting. The second came as a bit of a surprise. I know my mother is bound to be upset by this but I never really knew Alex, so it's not as big a blow to me. I always confuse him with my Uncle Nick, and I'm sure I couldn't tell them apart in a photograph. With the exception of my Uncle Steve, I think I've only ever met each of my Mother's brothers once or twice and the last time was well over 20 years ago. I suppose I'll be learning more as my mom finds out.
I suppose I should just take it all as more evidence that if your worst problems are money related then you're doing pretty damn good.

- Our attempts to get more money for our car appears to have failed, so we're gonna have to go with what the Insurance company is offering.
- My Uncle Alex was found dead at his computer this morning. Cause of death is still unknown.
