Well, I got very intoxicated last night (I'm sorry to say) and with my head spinning, I decided to go outside and clean up the barn. The next think I knew, I woke up at about 4:00AM and my pet goat was sniffing my face. I must not have gotten very far with my cleaning before I "passed out" because I found myself laying in goat droppings and the left sleeve of my shirt was soaked in goat urine. With all the hay, urine, etc plus my allergies and my HANGOVER, I felt like someone had pickled my brain in vinegar for two days. I went back inside, sat at the computer for an hour, popped a Lorazepam and hit the sack and woke up at noon.

I went into the bathroom at some point and discovered that my last duck had died overnight so this was another blow. Then I spent the rest of the day fasting with NO caffeine and at 4:15PM took off for the heart clinic where I had a stress test done in which they pumped me full of some stuff, put me in some strange-looking machine for what seemed like forever, then onto a treadmill, then two more injections of whatever they put in me, then an EKG, then back into the machine again, etc. For some strange reason whenever, I have an IV put in even if they only use contrast dye, saline or isotopes, I end up feeling slightly under the weather for a few days thereafter and have mild sweats (anyone else get this??).

Anyway, all day I've been feeling very foggy-headed, buggy-eyed and it's like I'm on another planet or something. Maybe because I skipped coffee this morning. Maybe from last night's drunk or from falling asleep in the filthy barn. Who knows.

Anyway, just sharing. Thank's for listening and for all the nice replies.
