Brainy Teary

When I am brainy (like right now - I feel terrible), I cry r.e.a.l.l.y. easily. 

I teared up three times this afternoon, for these reasons:

The Packers miss a field goal.
The Packers got a field goal.
A Bears receiver was injured.

In case you think I r.e.a.l.l.y. care about the NFL, I will clarify that I do not.  Besides, I'm a San Diego fan.

I have read that being emotion or crying easily is a common symptom of a concussion*.  My symptoms are concussion-like, if much more severe than average.  None of my doctors have mentioned if this is normal (for a BP).  I should try and remember to ask.

To clarify, the Packers missing a field goal does not make me sad, it just makes me cry.

Another funny symptom of when I am brainy: I can't spell to save my life.  Hitting spell check just now and watching this post light up yellow reminded me.  Here is an example.  I while ago, when feeling brainy, I wrote "Dow Jowns" for Dow Jones.  Jones is not exactly a difficult word.  Yikes.

Oh Heather, I just cried looking at a picture of a man giving a Koala a drink from his water bottle! What is my excuse?
