Problems, problems. →
To risk the passing out threat and snooze on the sofa or take the safer option and retire early to bed.
It’s dilemmas like this that make my life the fulfilled nirvana that it is.

Oops
Just to make life interesting I had a little pass-out in the middle of last night followed by a lovely trip in the ambulance.
Apparently I managed not just to pass out but moan AND drool. What can I say? I’m a classy gal.
They’re still not sure why. We know I have benign intra cranial hypertension, i.e. too much fluid round the brain. The numbness could mean a TIA or a migraine...

alinasmith replied to your post: Photograph a stranger
I’m going to photograph my mother. She is often a stranger to me.
I haven’t seen my mother in nearly two years, so that could do it. Except I’d have to fly home, take the pic against all her protests and then go somewhere with wi-fi to upload it since my phone seems to have stopped working with the 3G.
Photograph a stranger
Tomorrow is photograph a stranger day on the February photo challenge. I don’t know any strangers.
Sorry.
I’m no good at being sneaky, or rather, when I’m just about to touch the little button to snap the pic someone ALWAYS sidles up and asks me what I’m doing and then I’m banjaxed. I’ve tried it when we’re out, tried to grab a sneaky pic of our food or...

wonder if it’s like ridalin for adults - friend of my mom, also parkinson’s patient, takes ridalin to increase energy, whereas little kids are prescribed ridalin to calm down. it’s science AND confusing.

Today's unanswered question
If the medication I am on is also for people undertaking feats such as climbing Everest AND if this medication makes you really cold and gives EXTREME pins and needles and plays havoc with your kidneys …
HOW THE HECK DON’T THE EVEREST CLIMBERS FREEZE TO DEATH FROM THE TABLETS ALONE?
I don’t get it.
It’s bothering me.

Yes. Very stringent arbitrary rules that don’t mean anything. OBEY THEM OR ELSE!
I like your style. I shall obey.

A stupid thing happens to me near the end of...
Every single year on December 21st I decide we are heading towards Summer. It’s what keeps me going. I hate the short dark days, give me sunshine, I need it. I insist I see the days lengthening even though it is only a little each day, then again, the sun set at 5.30 p.m. here yesterday, two full hours later than on that shortest day, so something is happening.
The other side to this is, I...

Things that have happened to me in the last...
I’ve been ill.
One day I noticed I couldn’t quite think through things as I had.
One day I noticed that if I bent and then got up, or turned quickly, or rubbed my eyes, or rolled my eyes I saw bright lights.
Then months later I noticed that when I woke in the mornings it was taking longer and longer to see anything apart from blackness with yellow lights.
The whooshing in my ears...
