I've been in bed for two days with an epic migraine, neck pain, tooth aches and sinus pain. Hoping for it to clear up by tomorrow. There's a lunar eclipse tonight. Hopefully if the sky is clear we'll get a blood red moon. Luckily I had a stack of DVD's to see me through: The first season of Murder One, which I watched a bit of and then skipped to the end because it became extremely tedious, a bit of Monty Python, a dramatic series about vets in Yorkshire called "Chase" (5 out of ten), and tragic movie based on an Evelyn Waugh book called Handful of Dust which gets 8 points due to casting and costumes. Christmas tree is still not up.
Spent a lovely evening with Hungry Girl at Van Dusen Gardens listening to the Jewish Folk Choir. The garden was beginning to look a lot like Vegas. Next year there will be a hologram of Celine Dion rising from the carp pond.

Swarms and Other Anxieties
Well, the bees swarmed on Sunday. I'm still on edge about it. Luckily we were able to capture them on the roof of an irate neighbor's garage. But they still sound unsettled. That roar sounds like they are not queen right. I worry. We really need a good supply of hive boxes on hand. In other words, if you are going to start a hive, double what you think you will need from the start. The next year, you might need to triple it and then you may have to find a good home for a new nuc.
Last night I was seeing bees swarming in my mind's eye as my migraine symptoms swirled in dark patterns in front of my closed eyes. The roar of the bees haunted me. The neighbor yelling at me put me into shock, my hands shaking as I waited for the bees to settle in the banker's box. It's not the bees that upset me so much, it's the humans I am afraid to deal with. I've walked on eggshells for too many years and it has traumatized me.
I had to walk to Broadway and Willow to rent crutches and a wheelchair for kinder, and then because it was such a nice day, I hooked the crutches in the chair and wheeled it home. We had wheelchair and crutches lessons in front of the house and tomorrow he will go back to school. I am in intense grant-writing angst just because I am waiting for information from other people. Oh well, that's what deadlines are for. Wait for the roar to settle, and if you believe it will settle then it will.
