{{{Barb}}} Any kind of ~ma you need and some calm~ma.

Hivemind question: We sent a letter to our landlord last month about various things that needed fixing around here and various concerns we have. Instead of responding to us directly, he had his lawyer respond to us about what he would and would not do. There are still some points that need to be qualified, based on the letter we received. So do we call or write our landlord or do we call or write his lawyer? We're trying not to escalate the situation.

So, apparently I have Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). That should make my flying lessons interesting. Which is to say, potentially nonexistent. I'll have to discuss it with my instructor.

As physical ailments go, this is about as benign as one could ask for (as long as one isn't asking while flying a plane). My recent dizziness could have been due to heart problems, extremely high blood pressure, brain tumors, internal bleeding, etc. And I'm glad it's not. And it's not like flying is my one true calling.

Still, the cat came up to me and made a fuss when I got home from the doctor today. He's good about knowing when I'm feeling down and trying to help.

Le N, around here I see them at health food stores that have a New Age component, hanging out among the crystals or the aromatherapy.

{{{sj}}} My gut says go through the lawyer but I bet other bitches have advice based on something more tangible.

{{{Calli}}} sorry you might have to give up flying but yay for benignness. (benignity?)

I'm reduced to ordering online, because there's no one local that I've been able to find who carries it.

Bev, do you want me to ask my Very Wiccan pseudo-sibling for you? There's got to be someplace near you that would carry sage.

BTW, erin_o, send me an email at profile addy, and I'l ref you to Vistaprint, if you want.

If you use them, you get up to 80% off your order, and I get...$5 off my next order.

(Hey, I'll take it!)

The lawyer, sj.

This is the 4th night in a row I have been on the couch in enough pain to keep me awake. This is getting old now.

Oh, sj. I hate that. Pain has been keeping me up, too, and it is no fun.

ION, whatever ick I have is getting worse, not better so it's time for a doctor/clinic visit.

No! Yikes! Can I do anything for you? Is Tom home sick, too?

sj, it also might be time to brush up on tenant rights in your state, if you haven't already.

Mutter all you want, Barb! We're here to commiserate and make soothing noises, or whatever you need.

StW got tired of studying and came over last night for more Justified and some drinks. He's really adorable when he's tipsy (okay, he's kind of always adorable). I realized we've been dating just over a month - first date was June 30th or July 1st. Can't wait until he's done with Boards, so we can just spend a whole lazy weekend day together.

Of course, I didn't get much sleep last night, and woke up afternoon, but I've got to get on this application. I want to get my resume in no later than COB tomorrow. There's no stated deadline, but it seems like a good timeframe.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

The Benign part of that is very good! Hope it won't mean you have to quit flying.

sj, now that a lawyer is involved, you should go through the lawyer for all communication with your landlord.

smonster, I have acute bronchitis and a sinus infection. Tom is OK, I think he just got my cold that put all this in motion.

I feel quite awful.

sj, I'm sorry about your pain and your asstastic landlord.
