		<title>the one thing I know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is that I like spreadsheets, organization, and Kate Miller-Heidke. Just got done making a spreadsheet that shows the titles of the songs from which I&#8217;ve pulled titles, the songs in the official canon I haven&#8217;t used yet, the songs that are official or semi-official canon but are covers, and the demos which have any sort [...]]]></description>

		<title>between the dust and the debris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll update later today (it&#8217;s after midnight, it&#8217;s today!) with hair and cat photos, if I don&#8217;t completely forget. As you do. It&#8217;s snowy snow snowing outside again. Another 4&#8243; on top of the 8&#8243; we had (that, to be fair, had melted down by half at least) over the weekend, with possibly a couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>wrap me up against the cold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, first of all, I would like to whine because it is COLD DEATH HORRIBLE COLD and has been for weeks. Look, I know that by choosing to live in the mountains of Virginia, I run the risk of both boiling in summers and getting at least one good snow a year in the winters. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I like talking &#8211; when it&#039;s a healthy back and forth exchange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am so sick of doctors refusing to listen to what I say that I think I&#8217;m going to give up on visiting them. Clearly what I say has little to no bearing on their assumptions, so I might as well not go. In September, my GP told me he wanted me to get an [...]]]></description>

		<title>the sky is clear blue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Drugs.com, I love you. Thank you for inadvertently giving me a suggestion for how to not keel over and die. I am in need of both migraine and allergy control, and thanks to your comprehensive interactions tool and reviews section, I learned via researching that I totally need to look into periactin/cyproheptadine. It works [...]]]></description>

		<title>doubt and din</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I went to the doctor for my 2 week follow up after discontinuing topamax last Friday (the 2nd). He was still pretty skeptical of my claims of possible seizure activity. I haven&#8217;t had another event with the nystagmus and all of that, but I&#8217;m still having daily rounds of hiccups (fun) and some interesting [...]]]></description>

		<title>the stars are all exploding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shit, maybe the topamax was actually doing something&#8211;I&#8217;m at the onset of migraine number two for this week, and am aware of two things: 1. I should have guessed, given I slept for 10 hours (my prodrome invariably involves sleepiness, as do the actual headache, and the postdrome&#8211;I&#8217;m basically not sleepy when my migraines are [...]]]></description>

		<title>it&#039;ll pour down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still tender and vaguely headachey in the occipital region, almost exactly 4 hours after I took the imitrex (about five after I started noticing the onset of pain, while we were at the vet&#8217;s and driving home). I&#8217;m also currently having a hiccuping fit. I should have included them in my description of seizure-like bizzareness. [...]]]></description>

		<title>like a dam bursting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aaaaand here comes my first migraine. I can feel it starting everywhere in my head (it&#8217;s one of those, great&#8211;did you know &#8220;sinus headaches&#8221; are usually migraines?), from above my cheekbones to the backs of my eyes to, no surprise, the occipital region of my skull. It is a rare migraine for me that doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>just can&#039;t shake it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from the doctor and pharmacy. This was my six month med check on topamax/topiramate, which I have been increasingly disliking. I began having migraines when I was 13 or 14, and they were pretty irregular; I had very few while on zoloft (one of the few plusses of remaining on that med [...]]]></description>
