Oh, Consuela, that sounds aweful! Non-spinning~ma!

Consuela, I hope whenever you read this, the lines are stable.

I hate vacuuming.

I actually don't. Now, my 2.5 hour odyssey to get the floors so clean you could eat from them (for the next 30 minutes until a cat walks through) does absolutely jack shit for the dust on all the other surfaces. And there are a lot of other surfaces. And I tend to clutter, even though it drives me nuts. I still need to put away all the mountains of paperwork that the refi generated. Nevermind my magazine problem.

Margarita vacuuming and mopping is still highly recommended. Though you should probably have more food in you before you start (one empanada, a pot of tea, and a lot of water, plus a two mile swim? Yeah, there was nothing in me.)

I'm klutzy. I have crazy cats. I have pale, easily insulted skin. I can bruise my shin kneeling on it getting out of the pool. Throw in certain times of the month where I'm even MORE klutzy AND I bruise even more easily? I've been pulled aside and asked if I need help. Luckily the people at the pool believe me now.

Consuela, it could be random vertigo, which, as Sue said, can last a day or so. Do you get migraines? My mother gets migraines whose only symptom is vertigo. No head pain, to sensitivity to light, etc. Just vertigo. And in her case, she takes Ativan for it and it abates in about a day.

Fingers crossed this is very short-lived vertigo.

I vacuumed a whole lot today. I swear, some of the rugs are now different colors than when I started.

Still have to do the living room, though.

Brother & family arriving tomorrow late aft./evening, and yes, they're going to a B&B nearby, but still.

I can now cross having a threesome under the open sky in a backyard swimming pool off my bucket list. Needless to say, it was a fun afternoon.

Damn. My day has been good, but I could use a few more days like Matt's.

Flea, that sounds dreadful. Both the Casper and the Dillo bits. Augh.

Consuela, good luck. And yes, Megan Walker had a lot of vertigo at one point, I'm sure she knows some tips and exercises. And a friend of my roommate's had a whole bunch of it and it was messing up her life until they finally realized it was a weird form of migraines. Too bad I didn't know about Steph's mom at the time!

Oh Consuela! Stay very very still.

Too bad I didn't know about Steph's mom at the time!

My mom only figured it out in the last 6-9 months or so. So weird, because my migraines are just pain pain pain, but no vertigo. The human body is weird as hell.

Ugh, vertigo is the worst.

I don't know if there's a non-viral labyrinthitis, but my dad used to go down hard for a couple of days with it, but there was never any talk of PT or anything.

Oh yeah, when I had the vertigo (which they thought was viral), I saw an ENT and the things to do were antihistamines, motion sickness drugs, wait it out.
