I dreamed last night I ran my car into a lake, a pit hole actually. It was the car I had in college. I intersected with people i hadn't seen in 30 years. Pretty cool. Pit holes are lakes created by strip mining for sand and gravel. We used to ride through the ballast pits on weekends in high school and get chased by the night watctman, a fellow by the name of Coletrane, in an old Chevrolet truck.

I've had the strangest morning...

I woke up to use the bathroom early morning and was fine. I went back to bed and 2hrs later went to get out of bed and had a serious case of vertigo. Never had it before but the whole room was spinning. It took 45 minutes of laying down and gradually getting used to another pillow before I could sit up... if I tried it too soon the room would spin again.

Once I was up, it seemed okay, went to church and stuff but then... the intermittent dizziness would continue so I went to urgent care and they are going with the fact that I have an ear infection as the cause. But I was so disappointed because I am supposed to take my son on a 6 hr trip to visit a college... and its just too dangerous to drive because even if the medicine works it makes most people sleepy.

But that is not the strangest thing... the strangest thing is how helpful my H has been... he held me when the room was spinning... he googled vertigo for me... he drove me to church and to the urgent care and when I said that I would need to cancel the trip with my son (even though he has his permit... its too long for a new driver) he OFFERED to take off from work and the whole family will go...

just when I think he lives in his own world....

(oh and he mowed the lawn last night without me saying anything)

Wow, RTS, that's great that your H has been so willing and caring! Sorry about the vertigo. Hoping the effects subside soon.

Ike, that certainly was a strange dream! How have your friends been? Wouldn't it be funny if you touched base with those friends to see if your dream matched up with what they're up to now?

Its a nice feeling to know (even if only this one time) that when I really needed him, H was there for me.

Vertigo is like nothing I ever experienced before and never want to again... I didn't know if I was going to pass out or vomit or what... talk about totally feeling out of control. I fell back in the bed when I first got up...good thing I didn't go forward because I would have hit my head on dresser.

Rts, did they give you anything for the ear infection? Dizziness is my issue now too. I'm off balance a lot, kinda crosseyed. Be careful. Are you gonna see your regular dr about it? I finally got in to see mine last week - i was afraid to drive till now. He was like, oh yeah, there's definitely stuff wrong with your eye; I can tell cuz I know you. Whereas the new drs just thought I always looked like this!!

Given that she never liked to be alone, I imagine she is struggling with your new job. Maybe she feels that you have left her in a way. Whatever is going on in her head, I care about you and want you to be happy.
Excellent post!

Wasn't that an episode of Dukes of Hazard?

Was lazy...didn't feel like making supper, so I dumped a can of ravioli into a bowl and nuked it. Then was still hungry, so I nuked a can of green beans. Still hungry after that, so I had some chips and salsa. Now I am full.

Not the best dinner in the world, but it was fast and simple.

"Our receptionists are currently busy at the moment."

That should be "At present our receptionists are currently busy at the moment right now."

Perhaps the tears are just what you need right now. A release of sorts from the pent up emotions. I hope it's a cleansing cry for you. Know that you are cared for here.

I mowed the lawn today, did some laundry and repotted some plants - so I feel at least a little accomplished.

Just was my daughter was on her way home from my sister's, I was asked by the agency if I was available to work tonight. I told them I could do an overnight if they needed, so long as I got the call by no later than 10 PM so that my daughter didn't get an uninterrupted night's sleep on a school note.

She fell asleep at 9:30 PM.....and I've been hoping that I wouldn't be needed cuz it would really suck to have to wake my daughter up AND lose another night's sleep.

I got a text at 10 PM saying they didn't need me tonight. Whew! I'm relieved. Now, I can actually rest without wondering if I'm going to be woken up in the middle of the night to run out the door.

I'm going to make an effort to get to bed early. Gotta take my mom to an appt in the morning....to her GI dr so she can get her next colonoscopy done AND so she can complain about her hemorrhoids. Oh joy.

Wow, no activity on the couch since 9 hours ago....I really did kill the couch!!!

Good morning, couch peeps!

((( Lola ))) - I hope you're doing ok. Know that I am thinking of you.

I'm so glad I mowed the lawn yesterday cuz it's raining today. I'm not looking forward to taking my mom to her appt today. She's picking me up at 10:50 AM and we probably won't get home until 2 or 3 PM - which pretty much ruins any opportunity that I have for alone time before my daughter gets home from school. *sigh*

I guess I wouldn't be so bothered by it if it wasn't for my mom. I'm tired of being "the one" to have to do it all for her.

I'm still feeling yucky about being "seen" in therapy. I'm trying to not let the urge to cancel T take over....ack.

Morning all. Went camping this weekend to help some friends put on a trail riding competition. It was fun, but tough and emotional. My daughter went, but we had to call and have her dad come get her at 1am on Saturday morning because she felt too ill to stay. It was so hard seeing her struggle physically and then emotionally because she just cannot DO what she so desperately wants to, and to feel so helpless to do anything to fix things for her. I WISH that specialist could get her in earlier. Oh, and I cannot tell you how many people have horror stories about people they know or relatives with immune disorders. A couple of times there was quite literally sweat running down my back while people were talking to me about Aly and offering suggestions and telling me about the horrible things that happened to their friends with X immune disorder.

Also, I gave my friend money for Aly's meals while we were there, and after Aly left, she gave it back to me. I dropped it somewhere and now I feel like a total idiot and am really beating myself up about it. It was "only" $40, but I just feel so stupid.
