Happy Monday everyone! What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm commando other than a bit of L'Occitane Subtle Violet hand cream. I had to take a short, unexpected trip, and that's all I have with me. I'll be heading home shortly so posting will be light today.
Reminder: this Friday, 12/18, we're doing Best Buy Friday: wear your favorite fragrance purchase of 2015. If you didn't buy anything this year, pick a favorite from a prior year.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2015, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
I hope your trip went well Robin. I am wearing Swallow for back to the grindstone Monday.
Ahem…new phone. That was Sballo..ha, ha
And embarrassing!
Saw your post about Azemour… I’ve never tried it and was tempted too. It seems to get a lot of love around here. How would you describe it?
I was so disappointed when I tried it the first time because I had seen it described as the scent of an orange tree from fruit to roots, and as a third generation citrus farmer that is a very nostalgic scent for me.
It really does smell like a citrus tree, slightly green fruit, crushed stems, a bit of the lime green moss that grows on the trunks. I would call it a green aromatic chypre with a citrus soul. I plan to take one of my bottles after Christmas on my trip to the groves and do a tree to wrist comparison.
Love “tree to wrist.”
Whenever someone posts a fragrance I’m not familiar with, I immediately google on another page. I had not heard of Swallow, and then got a laugh when I looked further down to see it was a typo! HA HA
It was the phone’system autocorrect feature! I’llombardi_42@hotmail.com have to be more careful but it was funny…
Ugh…good grief! This has become a train wreck.
SO FUNNY!!!!! LOL
Smartphones …not
Went fine, thank you! Just so behind on everything, which is my own fault of course.
I’m wearing Hermes Iris Ukiyoe, a souvenir from a vacation last week. It’s a pretty, watery floral. (Or a “pretty watery” floral…). I like it, but I don’t smell and iris. Hmm. It is nice with the warm weather we are having though. It’s almost 60 degrees here in Chicago.
I LOVE Iris Ukiyoe but it really didn’t win any favor by calling itself an iris.
I also love IU, in part because it doesn’t smell like iris. As the photo on the Hermes website shows, IU smells like a purple watercolor looks.
I’m in Chicago and wearing an Hermes by JCE for the warmer weather, too! Voyage d’Hermes, an older favorite from before perfume became a major hobby of mine.
I still like it, but not as much as I used to.
I bought this before I fell hard down the rabbit hole and loved it until I didn’t anymore, about halfway through the R2D2 bottle and I sold it. I now have the parfum which has more character.
Ha, R2D2 bottle! The parfum is the concentration I have.
I’m in California and ironically we’re much colder than you in Chicago, in the low 40s right now, but I’m also wearing Hermes–Cuir d’Ange. It’s just about right for this weather.
Lucy, Iris Ukiyoe is intended to smell like iris flowers rather than iris roots (which is where iris butter and the usual iris note comes from). It’s my favorite Hermessence except possibly Cuir d’Ange, but definitely a spring and summer scent.
I’m a real oris root fan, and wish perfumer marketers would be more clear as to root vs flower. Very different notes.
Wearing Satellite Padparadscha in honor of cooler temperatures returning today. Not that I’m complaining about winter holding off for awhile but I like sweaters more than T shirts
Ooh, I wonder if I still have a decant of that one. I remember liking it quite a bit, but handing off the bulk of it to a friend in a cooler climate.
I have never even heard of this! How would you describe it?
Lots of sandalwood on me. Can’t recall much else about it, I swapped it away as it wasn’t my cup of tea.
I’m in Burberry Brit Red, the sexy but serious brunette cousin to the trashy original. I loved the body cream since it was new but I recently bought a bottle of the perfume. It’s not revelatory but it is a great deal. Spicy and barely sweet. My bottle actually came to me from a nearby suburb (via Ebay. Go local!)
I should say, I hope all is well Robin! Stay safe.
I loved Brit Red when it came out! My bottle is long gone, but I still have some body lotion, which has kept remarkably well over the years.
My lotion too! I bought four from Hong Kong back in 2010. Just lovely. I actually prefer it to the perfume.
Travel safe Robin!
I am also commando this morning.
I am not sure if its this crazy spring like temperatures in NYC, or the fact I was in short sleeves yesterday, but I have come down with a cold.
Runny nose, sore throat, and feeling exhausted
It’s tough to be sick this time of year. Feel better.
On a Monday, too. How awful. Hope it’s just a false alarm and you feel better tomorrow.
Thanks-I hope that it resolves itself.
This usually happens to me when we have wacky up and down temperatures outside
Hope you feel better! I like the warmer days but the up and down seems like it just confuses the immune system.
Wild temperature swings will do it to me too. Feel
Better soon!
Oh no.
Hope you’re able to get some rest and feel better soon!
Oh noooo – I’m so sorry!! Do feel better soon and take it easy.
Made it there & back in one piece, and hope YOU recover quickly!
I am wearing Pacifica Lotus Blossom (spray). I know it won’t last, but I am heading to the mall at lunch to pick up a couple of holiday presents and want to have the chance to spray something I don’t own.
I think this is one of the 3 Pacifica bottles I am putting up for adoption. I bought it and never used it.
You know, I keep thinking I’m prepared for the level of generosity displayed by my perfume buddies here, and I keep on being happily stunned.
I was delighted to be able to send something to someone here (am I allowed to say who it is? Not sure what the policy is regarding that) and of course they insisted on sending something back. I didn’t need it at all, but she was so enthusiastic about being able to give that I couldn’t say no. And just now, the package she prepared for me was delivered, and OH MY GOODNESS! Decants of all kinds of amazing scents – and with a theme! The packaging is adorable and I’m beside myself at this unexpected gift. She’s a magical perfume fairy, this one.
What can you do with such generosity except be incredibly grateful and just promise to pay it forward? So that’s what I will do.
You will never hear me say that I’m not lucky, and if you do, please remind me of this.
Hope you all have as good a day as the one I’m having here!
Are you wearing one of your new samples today?
I’d already put on Eau Suave this morning because it’s so warm here, but I’m looking through my goodies and trying to decide what I should try first later on today.
All of the samples are green, and I’m trying to decide which to dive into first. So many goodies!!
Have fun!
That is awesome! The NST community is really amazing
I bet everyone is sick of me saying so by now, but I just can’t help it.
BTW, I know I’m not the only one who is hoping to meet you in the new year if you do make a trip up here. Already thinking of which place to take you first (IF you are able to come)!
How wonderful for you! It’s great to read a message from someone so happy. And so many little treasures to enjoy.
Thank you Karen!
The flu’s been making its way around the house and it’s my turn, so my sense of smell is a bit compromised. But to be in the holiday spirit, I’m wearing some Harajuku Lovers Jingle G, which is a fun little spicy apricot and vanilla thing.
I might still have my figural of this – is this the Santa tree ornament one?
Yes. It always got tucked away in the back of my cabinet and I’d find it in June or August and think,”This year, I’ll remember to wear this.” She’s now sitting on my night table so I remember to enjoy this fun perfume throughout the season… And to help me ration out my few remaining drops of Ambre Narguile which I love to wear while baking. The combination is magic so we’ll see how Jingle G compares!
Ugh, get better!
Thank you, Robin. I think the warm weather we’ve been experiencing is doing interesting (not in a nice way) things to viruses in our area. This particular bug’s been going around and really, really seems to like the kids and I. Off to go disinfect again.
Already 71 degrees in Atlanta, and rainy muggy. We’ve got fans running at work trying to move the air around! I’m not complaining though….I really should move to the equator so I can be warm all the time!
Speaking of the equator….I’m wearing Estee Lauder’s Brasil Dream. I like it well enough, but I think their Bronze Goddess is much better. Still, this is a nice tropical vibe for an unseasonably warm day.
Jamming to Foreigner’s song “Urgent”….this week is CRAZY with work, school finals, baking baking baking for holiday events, and so forth! Foreigner gets my head straight!
Rock this Monday!
How lovely to see your face!
Finally took the time to update Gravatar!
Very nice!
Love Urgent! Jam on!
I’m wearing Heure Exquise at this not so exquisite hour.
Well at least you smell exquisite!
I put on Zeste de Rose this AM which I thought would cheer up a gray day…but I also washed my hands with Snowcake and now I’m really wishing I had some of that perfume! Darn limited editions!
Lots of eye plinks and big yawns here today. The weather has been so warm that it threw me off and I slept horribly last night. I was constantly either too hot or too cold but didn’t want the extra blanket yet needed the fan… Ok I’m ready for real winter weather now. It doesn’t feel like December and actually kinda made me sad yesterday.
I say that but I was totally glad to take advantage of the warmth and managed to make my weekly goal of running 20 miles for the week. My hips are now angry with me and that’s fine because it’ll rain all day and I intend on being a slug when I get home from work.
Journey Woman is keeping me awake… along with the second cuppa I’m about to make…
I love Journey Woman
Nice job with your run too
Good job on your scent and your run! I’m toying with the idea of running my first 5k in the new year, and you’re inspiring me…
Good job with your run!
I am looking to getting back to speed walking in the New Year- I really do miss it.
It’s so unseasonably warm today I decided on a floral fragrance from my perfume drawer at work – Esprit d’Oscar. I’m always happy to wear this one.
That’s a scent that makes me happy also.
Very pretty, and easy to wear.
Oooooh! You have a perfume drawer at WORK? What a fun idea!
Highly recommended. It makes working life so much better! Mine isn’t a drawer, but a little box that is filled with a lot of decants and such, and when I start my new job, it’s coming with me for sure.
Yes, I completely agree and have a similar method. I’ve got full bottles of Cristalle and Narciso in the office, plus a box with samples.
The essentials.
Will do! Usually by 3pm or so, my SOTD is long gone….I keep lipstick and dental floss here, so why not a little of the good stuff?
T minus 7 days until my tropical Christmas vacation, and I was hoping to get in a few of my winter favorites, but it’s strangely warm, so I guess they’ll have to wait. It’s hard to complain about 70-degree weather, but it IS a little confusing in December. Wearing Nirvana Black because I didn’t quite know what to do this morning. I have to say, though, I think it was the right choice!
Luckyyyyy (I’m channeling Napoleon Dynamite)… Where are you going?
SO and I will be spending the week in Puerto Rico with his family. I’m used to this time of year being cold, so it’s always strange to spend Christmas or New Years in a warm climate. Strange in a good way, though!
Sounds beautiful, have a great time.
Puerto Rico with family sounds terrific!
L’Ambre des Merveilles for me today.
You smell lovely. I got a sample of this one from an Hermes boutique where I’d gone to smell the Hermessences, and was surprised by how much I liked this.
Thank you! L’AdM often reminds me of caramelcorn … but in a good way.
Salted caramel! But the other notes keep it from being too foody, somehow. I’m a fan
So interesting – I wasn’t getting salt from that one, but maybe I need to give it another sniff.
I think the ambergris in the Ambre may be tempered a bit by the sweet notes so maybe the salty/iodine smell of ambergris aren’t as obvious. Although I can definitely smell it. I find it more pronounced in the Eau and Elixir versions.
Salted caramel is a much better description than mine … and it’s kind of making me hungry.
Lovely! You smell like a great hug!
Thank you! It smells like a great hug too, and I NEED one today because it’s freezing in my office! I’m a little envious of the warm temperatures those on the East Coast seem to be having – here in Oregon it’s a little warmer than usual, but still COLD, don’t you think?
I chose to wear another perfume oil today, Possets The Moon. It is supposed to be a combination of three musks and beeswax. When I first put it on I smelled gardenia, then it smelled a little soapy. Now I am getting the beeswax. Overall, it’s quite nice.
Almost twins, Robin – I’m wearing the lip balm from the same violet collection (one of my favorites from L’Occitane).
I’ve just received the Puredistance sample set as a gift: if anyone has a favourite in the line, let me know, I have no idea where to start. The only one I’m familiar with is Opardu and I think it’s lovely.
My favorite is M, is that in there?
M is my favorite too. Black is nice, and I love Opardu. White did nothing for me, but I think it’s fairly popular. They are all well done, it’s one of the better samplers I’ve had.
I’ve only tried Antonia and M, didn’t like the former, very much enjoyed the latter. I thought the sample set was a little ‘overpackaged’ to be perfectly honest so I never pursued the rest of the line. M is gorgeous though.
Everyone always obsesses over M, so even though I haven’t tried them yet, that’s going to be the first one I try.
Thank you, everybody! M it is. And I love the opening.
In order of preference: Opardu, M, White, Antonia, Black, Puredistance I
I like this line, and Puredistance I is the one I finally selected to buy. I feel about it sort of the way you feel about 31 Rue de Cambon.
Hmm, definitely worth trying, then. Thank you!
I’m afraid I may be setting it up for failure with that comparison. They are very different, but they both smell like the ideal self we sometimes need to project and yet are enjoyable rather than off putting.
I completely got your meaning, no worries. That category of scents is fascinating and even if Puredistance I turns out not to be for me, if it works as the ‘ideal self scent’ for someone, it will be interesting to smell.
Hey almost-twin!
It got cool again this weekend, so after a few days of wearing MCMC “Maine” I’m testing Tauerville’s “Amber Flash”. Amber used to be one of my favorite notes, but lately I’ve been finding it (if at all prominent) to be overly sweet. That said, “Amber Flash” is much lighter than I was expecting, with the “smoke” effect I get from certain perfumes (Gris Clair for one, though that’s lavender smoke and this is amber smoke).
I’m wearing Chanel Chance today. I still love this one, but my nose is disappointed that it isn’t getting to smell something new.
I didn’t realize L’Occitane made violet hand cream! I may have to track that down. I love violet scented, and flavored, things.
I found violet scented tea last week made by a perfumer so it smells just like her violet perfume oil. Can’t wait to try it.
Oh my! That sounds heavenly! Do you happen to remember who made it? I wish there were more violet flavored things around. You can find a few of the old fashioned ones, that don’t really do it justice usually. And the little Canel’s violet gum packages are tasty, but hard to find.
Sure, it was from Providence Perfume Company.
Thanks! I’m going to order some. The description of it is beautiful.
I’m not sure they still sell this one, unfortunately.
Wearing Cuir Cuba Intense by PdN. I don’t get much leather, or much tobacco. It’s an interesting blend with some licorice, herbs and patchouli.
I picked up my Neela Vermeire sample package from the P.O. awhile ago and am wearing Bombay Bling, the only scent of four I didn’t know. Also in the box are Trayee, Mohur, and Ashoka. AND it’s a balmy day in the 60s here. My heart is jumping for joy. I’m going to put my cat on her tiny red leash and take her outside.
I find the idea of a cat on a leash quite amusing but it makes so much sense!
When I think about it, the thought of keeping the cats indoors forever makes me kind of sad as I think they like to be outdoors. I tried it with one of my cats but we never made it outside and I have a few scars from trying to get the harness on. As the kids say: epic fail.
I’ve found that you have to start pretty young. They still don’t like it, but it makes for safer outings. Incidentally, mine are allowed out leash-less at Mom’s place in the country, but never in the city.
Yeah, should’ve thought of it when they were kittens. My dream is to move somewhere with a porch or balcony where we can screen them in.
I should mention Ari has a stroller for Zelda….
Have fun! It’s a beautiful day for cats outside. Mine are all helping Mom rake the yard right now while I’m inside painting a Christmas gift. I wish I could join them in the leaf frolic.
Woke up at 3 am with a fork in my left eye. No. Not a fork, on careful examination, just a whopper migraine. Maxalt and 6 hours later I am functional. Still feeling battered (removal of fork took a while) I crawled back in bed after getting the kids off to school… Drinking coffee with cardamom and sniffing my wrist to which I rather cavalierly applied Bal A Versailles, edt. It is from a mini, and in my post headache fog I think I confused small bottle with small scent. Hah. Fortunately it is not causing a headache rebound, but it is chewy stuff! I’m getting neroli, patchouli, soap, and leather and a bunch of other florals and spices…maybe carnation? Got to look this one up. It is a BIG scent from a tiny bottle. Ooof.
Oof is right! Not what I’d recommend post migraine. The first time I tried Bal was in 90 degree weather and I’d put on a hefty amount. I nearly suffocated myself(and probably others in close proximity). Hope you’re feeling better. I love cardamom in coffee. A dose of honey goes nicely with it, too.
Oooof indeed – do feel better soon! (P.S. – I’m indulging in some No. 19 right now
)
Yikes! I’m glad I’ve never tried BaV with migraine remnants. You’re stronger than I.
I was an accidental tourist.. ! Wouldn’t recommend it to others. Thankfully, no harm done. I must be feeling better because I topped up with a teensy spritz of Timbuktu before my afternoon meeting.
Blech, so sorry!
I’m wearing Diaghilev this morning. I haven’t worn it in almost two years, I have to be in the mood for it. Today is gray and cold and it feels right.
Sending “Get well soon” wishes to everybody who is under the weather this morning.
What a gorgeous scent! Enjoy!
God, I love Diaghilev. It keeps tempting me to drop 4 figures into the Bergdorf Goodman website. I wish it came in a smaller size.
I was really lucky to get in on a split when it came out. It’s the most money I’ve ever paid for 10mls, but it’s probably a lifetime supply for me. One spritz lasts all day.
Really want to smell this one. More for the name than anything else – I’m slightly obsessed will anything related to Les Ballets Russes.
Have you tried Olympic Orchids Ballet Rouges? Another tribute to Ballet Russes. I didn’t love the scent(too soapy).
The best of good mornings to everyone. I’ve had a few days away from NST, and I’ve missed chatting! I had fun though…it’s great to go home every now and again. This is the last week of work before the university closes for three weeks, and I confess that my head is already on holiday. I’m forcing myself to finish one last big AWFUL job., but I can’t say it’s my best work ever. So, it’s a 19 day, my friends, and 19 extrait at that! I want to drift off into daydreams of beaches and bare feet, but 19 is insisting that I keep my clothes on and my backside firmly anchored to my computer chair.
I’m going to join you and spray a bit of the decant of No. 19 parfum I was just gifted, so we’re twins, Waterdragon!
Good luck with the awful job – you’ll slay it in 19, I’m sure!
You’re such a darling, ihadanidea! But truly, I’m not slaying this thing; more, I’m boring it into submission, then hacking bits off it with weasel words.
What is the extrait like, waterdragon? More emphasis on green, or floral?
It’s just more so, if you know what I mean. Beautifully balanced, but more powerful, more perfume-y, more of everything but not one thing more than another. I love it, but I am sparing in my use. I think I can knock this bastard off in another or so: 19 has done that for me, because I really, really REALLY want to go out and play..
Channelling the late great Sir Edmund Hilary here! I meant to say I could finish this report in another hour or so. Truly the beastly thing is making my brain hurt and my typing is even more chaotic than usual.
I can relate to that crawling-out-of-my-skin-but-it-WILL-get-done state of mind (and body). But such a relief when its over, like getting over a migraine.
Home sick today with the same headache-y cold everyone else seems to have, so my SOTD is Vicks VapoRub.
I hope you feel better. I like the smell of Vick’s!
Feel better!!
I have a bar of eucalyptus soap that I keep just for colds! LOL I actually like Vicks too!
awww… feel better soon !
Gracious, this seems like more illness than usual! Get better
SOTD = Aftelier Bergamoss EDP
The atomizer was very stingy – I had to do 9 spritzes and I am basking in it. I may need to stock up on this – I wish it came in a larger size!
Also wishing everyone under the weather speedy recovery!
It doesn’t seem to last very long. The small spray will be gone in no time. I’d like a larger bottle and stronger fixatives.
Not my best day today – head has been congested for 3 days, insomnia, the weather is cold, wet and grey, and I am wondering how I will make it until my vacation on Jan. 12th, my SAD is so bad this year. I am taking a ton of vitamin D and SAMe and using special lights but it is a battle every day. Only my perfumes and my little dogs are keeping me afloat. Today I am wearing Tauer Une Rose Vermeille.
Aww – I am so sorry to hear this! I really, really hope that Une Rose Vermeille helps, not to mention your little pups. So important to have puppy therapy at such moments. And maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a little perfumed something?
I hope you feel better soon.
Ugh I am so so sorry to hear that. Wretched. Take care–I’m hoping at least that your congestion will clear up soon, and the rain too, so that at least you’re feeling physically ok and maybe can go out into some sunshine. I know it won’t fix everything but hoping it’ll be more bearable than it is now. Thinking of you in the meantime!
Does SAMe help you at all? I tried it many years ago when I worked nights, but didn’t notice much of a difference. I know that feeling. Hope it passes.
Have you ever tried Melatonin at night, to keep a good sleep cycle going? Seems like I read a journal article somewhere that melatonin helps SAD sufferers in that way……Our bodies are wired to need the sun! Feel better!
I’m so sorry to hear that. SAD is a tough battle. I don’t have a serious case of it, and a hefty dose of vitamin D has done the trick for me. But I know it’s a real uphill battle for those who suffer from full blown SAD. Always keep fighting!
I scored some nice treats on Friday: I went looking for minis Friday after work and found some in this discount store that sells testers. I came across a 75ml splash bottle of 90’s Samsara which I snapped up(and am wearing today)and got minis of Ysatis, Un Jardin Apres La Mousson, Agent Provacateur(love the tiny egg bottle) and VW Boudoir all for the very low price of (drum roll) $25. Not bad, methinks.
Score!
Merry Christmas to you!
Manic Monday- ugh, complete with a slip on a icy sidewalk!
But hey- I a wearing Velvet Rose and Oud. Not very Oud-y (is that a word?) but refreshing and not too soapy rose, but warm, woody-ish and rosewater-y.
OOTD: Green cardigan, Red silk blouse, slim black trousers, flats, gold necklace and big gold earrings ( I have a luncheon AND after work drinks party.)
Sounds very Christmas-y. Enjoy.
Warmer weather is finally here! Rose d’Arabie for me, it’s lovely, but it doesn’t last.
Unseasonably warm and rainy here, as in many other places. I am wearing L’Aire du Desert Morocain, and loving it as always. Sometimes I think, “I should just wear this all the time!” but then other scents call me. Tomorrow, Mohur Extrait.
both excellent choices!
Happy girl! I got my big bottle of Rose Jam yesterday and learned that they’ve expanded the line to include shampoo, a bath bomb-y thing, and message lotion.
I bought the message lotion, which is very interesting in that its a solid bar of lotion you rub to get softer and then apply it like lotion.
Now I can smell like Rose Jam even more, something I’m very happy about! And best part is that my husband likes it too.
What a wonderful mix of tart & sweet and rose.
Just bought a bottle of the shower gel to go in my Christmas stocking. Love the bubble bar version – I think they call it a “bubbleroon”, like a macaroon.
I have the massage bar which I like to use at night. Just sitting in the bag, it scents my bathroom
It’s a cool product! Does a good job of moisturizing as well as make you smell good.
Correction: the lotion does not give you messages, it gives you massages.. geez!
I wouldn’t mind hearing what Rose Jam has to say.
I love Rose Jam. To me it smells like honey, specifically like the honey in baklava. It’s a very intoxicating scent. I wish they would make the shower gel available year round.
Intoxicating is a good word for it!
I am of the camp that I like the seasonality of it as it makes it that much more special. I really look forward to it, and it gives me the time to try other great shower scented gels.
But I know what you mean.
I hope they do the after Christmas buy one get one free again. I’ll be stocking up at least until Summer.
Oooh, thanks for reminding about the possibility of two-for-one after Christmas! I’ll be watching out for that.
I have the solis shampoo which I like but now I’ll have to investigate the lotion bar
Commando today as I had doctors appointments and then fitness. But I’ll probably put on something with a dash of lavendar before I go to bed.
SOTD is Chergui
Great pick!
I think this scent is brilliant. How it manages to not be too much as some fragrances with these notes tend to be is just a amazing. It balances the assertiveness of some powerhouse notes so well.
Sampling 3 Fleurs today. Big and perfumey on me
My SOTD is Chanel No 22.
Today is my day to make some progress in my Christmas gift wrapping.
Have a good Monday!!
Safe travels Robin.
YSL Nu bumped up by a tiny spray of LADDM on the back of my neck (a combo cribbed directly from NST suggestions). I am having a bad allergy day, so was going without for the morning, but then decided that I’d prefer to smell interesting while dealing w/stress hives and the like. It makes sense, while making no sense.
Oh allergies are the worst. So sorry. LADDM seems to help my nose, sometimes. That + Nu is an interesting idea. You smell great!
Thanks for the reminder of that combo! I think it was Elisa that suggested it in the YSL Friday project. Next cold day… Hope your allergies calm down soon.
Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere
I’m wearing Lipstick Rose from a sample. I don’t know that I feel a need to own it (my bank account is thanking me, I’m sure), but I like it. The opening is a little harsh, but because it smells to me like hairspray and nail polish, it kind of sets a scene in a way that seems unusual.
Was commando today, migraine developed around 4 (with the rain), but better now. Hope everyone else is, too.
