Here is the last thing that I did before I fell into a menstrual migraine hurricane: I like making origami out of bills to leave as tips at restaurants. You can find the instructions for this one at MAKE blog. I spent my birthday, June 2nd, at the emergency room with a beyond-unbearable-migraine. Did you…
