random thoughts after a migraine

January 8, 2009 at 4:04 AM

Migraines may get you out of teaching recorder for the day, but I would prefer that I don't have to spend tomorrow hiding from all light or sound.

My advanced 2nd grade student has declared that Dancla's Air Varie Op. 89 #5 is the declared the greatest piece ever.

A practice chart with 100 gumballs (1 to color for each practice session) is very exciting to my children, even though they do not eat gumballs.

I still do not know why I dreamed that oboes were going to be made out of a fancy grenadilla floor that was discovered in Turkey.

As a fellow migraine sufferer, you have my sympathy. My migraines last for days. ;-(

I think that coloring in gumballs is a great idea. I may try it with my kid students. Maybe I'll set a certain date and encourage them to reach 100 (or some other appropriate number) by that date.

My sympathies on the migraine. I used to get them in Grad School, and nothing worked except going to bed in total darkness and silence. Bleh. As soon as I graduated, they stopped. Maybe stress?

I also think the gumball chart is a great idea.

I hope you feel better soon!
