I was so busy that it actually skipped my mind.

Part of me did want to give NaNoWriMo the “old college try”, as they say, but I became so busy during the month of November that it completely skipped my mind. At some point I do want to participate in it, though. Or, at the very least, compose an entire manuscript in a month’s time (or… approximately a month’s time).

I’m not sure if I covered it here or not, but I’ve been reunited with Fioricet to treat the most painful of migraines, and I’m finding that it works better than any triptan ever has… but the bar is low for that, because triptans do not work on me. I get most of the side effects from taking them, but I stopped getting substantial pain relief years ago. I feel like the local pain management clinic is taking me more seriously when I tell them which medications do not work on me at all as compared to which ones actually help, especially now that I’ve had two visits with them. Around here, you visit with them monthly once you’re an established patient.

In other news, I bought Bub Sackboy for the PlayStation 4 since actually being able to purchase a PlayStation 5 seems like it’s closer to an act of God. At one point, I had one in my Walmart cart ready to check out with it, but the site crashed so badly that by the time I could load my cart to check out, all of them had already been sold. This annoyed me quite a bit, and it continues to annoy me that Sony has mismanaged the pre-ordering of this console and the actual ordering of this console as badly as they have. I’d just like to be able to buy this without there being any massive hiccups along the way preventing me from doing so. But Bub is down for the LittleBigPlanet life, so he’s not going to mind what console it’s on as long as he can play it with me and it runs well. (Still, though, I would like to get my hands on a PlayStation 5…)

And I’m making a Christmas list for myself since the kids’ Christmas lists are more or less complete.
