Here by Glimpses Known

I rarely, if ever, post them, but I love to take graphic macro photos. I love the texture and mystery of them.

Here is one from N'gouja beach, when I was having fun experimenting with my new lens, my lens which, I might add, takes macros to another level compared to what I could achieve before.

 

“Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic -- if it is pulled out I shall die.”-- Soren Kierkegaard

Sans voix

 This morning, I woke up feeling fine. Wonderful news considering I went to bed with a splitting headache, a slight sore throat, a nose that felt like someone had used it as a punching bag, and swollen glands in my armpits. 

When I looked in the mirror, I noticed an odd puffiness to each side of my neck, just above my collar bones, but, like I said, I felt pretty good. I came downstairs, did my yoga and meditation, had breakfast...and, right in the middle of it, lost my voice.

I continue to feel ok, but here it is, after lunch, and still no voice. The puffiness is still there, but the red, swollen glands are gone.

Guess I'll see what I feel like tomorrow before calling the doc.

Anyone else ever had these same symptoms?

ETA: Oh, yes, forgot to mention something. This is connected to the headache I'm sure, but last light, while watching television, I had a very bizarre line (curved like a squashed, cursive capital L filled with myriad colors) squiggling and flashing across my left eye. Just suddenly appeared, warping the objects that it lay across. :-/ Migraine, methinks.
