Back with good news

Onie has been diagnosed, and the c-word was not in the diagnosis. Her condition may be treatable with medication, or it may require surgery, but the point is, it's treatable. And there was much rejoicing.

Also with Mary and Jimmy's wedding: much rejoicing. It went beautifully, I had a good time, and there are some pictures to see. There's one in there I'm particularly fond of, me and Kari and Aunt Jenny and Noah. I'm holding the baby. It's my favorite picture of any of us in a good while. Go look.

Minneapolis types: where are there good used bookstores that are more general than the standard Uncle Hugo's/Dreamhaven run? I plan to do that particular booking run soon, and we'll spend a lot of time/money on it. But one can't really find much in the way of history books there, nor science, nor...well, you get the point. Sometimes one needs something a bit more general.

In a totally irrelevant note, I got The Lingen Hiccups today. You know how most hiccups sound like a dainty little "hic, hic, hic?" Not The Lingen Hiccups. Oh no. These are the equivalent of shouting "HICCUP!" while punching oneself in the diaphragm and shaking all over. Wheeeeee, what fun. Does anyone else get these stupid things besides my family members?

I get the Hideous Hiccups too, but no one in my family does, so they think I'm faking it. :p

Do you have a cure for them?

So far my default is a hug from somebody much bigger than me; if I can lean in and relax, that sometimes works. Other times not.

A spoon of sugar used to work, or clenching the muscles in my sternum. But lately that hasn't. I'll have to get assaultdoor to give me a squeeze next time, though! I've never tried that.

If they go on long enough I get headaches. -_-

Yep, I get headaches, too. Sometimes it's either a migraine trigger or a pre-migraine indicator, not sure which.
