So today was not a good day. In fact, it was a bad day.
The morning meeting was fine. We had a great speaker (he was on Ellen with his class). Very motivational. So far so good. But then . . .
We all got on buses to tour the places where our kids live. Great idea . . .
EXCEPT we were riding on the bus for over an hour and I have bad motion sickness. So, by the time we were back at the meeting place, I was on the verge of barfing. It was lunch time. I was smelling all of that food and feeling worse. Couldn't even eat. Spent most of the afternoon feeling barfy. Couldn't leave until 4.
I am finally home. Feeling a little better but still sick and headachy. I am going to try to eat some rice or crackers . . . It will take me a couple of days to feel well again.
Not fun at all.

Thank you, Gary! It did work (but I think you got one picture twice)....

I'm debating zipping down to totality for the eclipse. It's about 7 hours each way. For a 2 minute totality. For which I would be skipping a staff meeting.
Hmm.

Or I'll just duck out of work and run five miles to the museum, where they have a whole situation.
Probably that.
When's the next totality? I want to experience it sometime.
Oh, 2024 and much closer to where I live. Sold.

Cupcakes are so last decade.
That's less than 130 stitches per day! You slacker!

Well...the idea was good? Or were there numerous complaints about a buss full of teachers cruising neighborhoods suspiciously?
Sorry you feel yucky, Jan - I have been blessed to not have to deal with motion sickness. Sheryl and Emma both get it, though, and I know how miserable they feel.
I heard an interesting theory on motion sickness once; no idea if there's anything to it for real or not. It pretty much says that people with better hand-eye coordination tend to be more prone to motion sickness. Something to do with their eyes being more coordinated to the rest of their body, so when an outside force acts on the body the eyes are more likely to be jiggled around and the sensation of motion will conflict more with the balance center in the inner ear. Less coordinated people don't have that strong of a connection, so when outside forces act on their bodies, the eyes are more likely to move in compensation to the view around them rather than being locked in with the motion of the body. Because they eyes are moving with the scenery rather than with the body, the brain is better to reconcile the balance center and the view around.
Don't know if that made any sense, and it's been a long time since I read that, but it rings true with me anecdotally. In our family Sheryl and Emma are the more artistic, better coordinated, and more skillful people when working with their hands. Annie and Ben and I are total klutzes. The two who have issues with motion sickness are the two artistic ones...
We have about a 30 minute drive to totality - unless the traffic turns out to be the nightmare that they're predicting. I guess there was a 30 mile backup LAST NIGHT along a 2-lane US highway into a Central Oregon town that's really bracing for the tourism impact. If it was that bad last night I can't even imagine what the weekend is going to be like. I'm researching the best teeny back roads to get far enough south of home to see the totality.
I have lived here all my life - this will be my second total solar eclipse - there was one in 1978 when I was in 5th grade. I remember it well!

I've had terrible motion sickness my entire life. I always drove so I wouldn't puke.
Then I went through menopause and it's all gone. Just like magic. I can even read in a moving car now.

Wonder how my being blind in one eye affects that. May not have any effect at all.
Head still feels bad but I have eaten and feel a little better.

A bus actually took people to the meeting but I rode with a friend because of the bus. But I couldn't avoid doing the tour. Also have to ride buses for field trips. As grade chair this year, we are staying really close to school for any trips . . .
Is this a sneak quiz? I'm sure you meant to say fewer than 130 stitches per day, right?
Thanks for the kind words about Elaine's gift, everyone.
Now the hard part will be waiting until Christmas to give it to her....

Apparently, "zipping down to totality" does not mean what I think it means. Pity.
