I just googled fascinating to make sure I was spelling it right and I have to share the #1 result.

Google doesn't lie...those are definitely fascinating. #9 is my favorite.

And I'm vibing hard for your sister and the asshat to wander off in some other direction and turn the "might" into "oops, didn't after all."

Hec is off visiting with Cass (having just dropped off the newly-haircutten AmyLiz), Emmett is watching "Ned's Declassified," and I'm here with Matilda in my lap. She's mildly hot and sweaty and fast asleep -- mostly cheerful but intermittently sobbing in what looks like brief but dreadful pain all day. We're operating on the tentative theory that she's working on yet another tooth. Once Hec returns, the plan is for a gentle warm bath and some baby Motrin, then off to bed again.

I used to have much more exciting Saturday nights.

I'm officially declaring this a bad day. First I spent several hours back and forth with ATT before I got my phone back. Then I met a friend to go to an arts festival, but it took me forever to get everything together to go, because I've been attacked by some sort of fuzzy klutzy condition that causes things to hide from me and throw themselves on the floor. Then we walked and walked and walked in the sun. Driving home, I was so tired I stopped at Starbucks. Then I backed into a very nice woman with very little English, and I have no idea why I didn't figure out her car was there. It just scraped and slightly dented the door, but I had to go through the whole insurance stuff, and I just hate to have caused her trouble. Also, I hadn't realized my friend had been in such bad shape, and I feel guilty for not spending more time with her. I think tomorrow I should stay home, possibly wrapped in bubble wrap. t / whine

All the asthma, allergies and ick need to go away.

I'm stuck at home without Cass or AmyLiz. Sniff. The meds for the vertigo aren't doing anything other than make me sleep and sleep and sleep. When I'm awake, still spin. This sucks monkey balls.

Suzi, could you have a vitamin B deficiency? I seem to recall my sister having bouts of vertigo and her doctor giving her some version of B. B6, I think.

I am taking b12 shots along with my iron treatments. I see my hematologist on Tuesday. So we will see what he has to offer on this mess. I'm calling my doc back on Monday to say that attempt #1 isn't working. But Monday seem SO far from here.

Suzi, has anyone proposed it might be an inner ear thing?

Ginger, I'm sorry you had such a craptastic day. And Suz, I hope the meds start working some magic soon.

Yesterday I called everyone local that I could think of trying to find someone to go out with tonight. Everyone was busy. My friend J just called to see if I still wanted to go out because her boyfriend just broke up with her. She doesn't want to stay in, she definitely wants to go out. And likely get completely wasted. Not quite the night I had in mind. I hope I'm up for this.

Suzi, I really hope they get this figured out soon.

And Ginger, I hope tomorrow is relaxing enough to make you forget about today.
