How dizziness leads to new home...
Mar. 2nd, 2005 10:32 pmI spent the day at home, in bed, sick.
I woke up at 2:30am this morning and felt extremely dizzy... like I almost fell over getting out of bed, and couldn't walk down the hallway without holding the walls.
It scared me. I thought I was drunk at first (from the 3 beers I had that night with dinner)... but it definitely wasn't drunk.
I felt only slightly better this morning... drove myself home (without looking both ways at the intersections for fear of making myself queasy)... then took some medicine and worked until I got sleepy. Then slept the entire day.
I tried to make a doctor appt this morning... I called "my" doctor's office and the receptionist said I was no longer a patient there because I hadn't seen the doctor since 2001. And since the doctor was out of town for a week, she couldn't do anything for me (couldn't recommend a doctor or anything)... she suggested a walk-in clinic. I hate doctors and struggled with myself for literally a half-hour before finally convincing myself to call her... so there's no way I'll be going to a walk-in clinic unless I'm taken in on a dolly or wheelchair. So, at this point, it looks like I better get well on home remedies...
Woke up around 4:30, checked email, talked with my honey, then ate some dinner, and now I took some NyQuil and am making this entry before drifting off to sleep again. I hope that I'm feeling better tomorrow.
Barry and I have come to the decision that we will be moving in together in April. I have people staying at my place, and I think it will be a really good (and exciting) thing for Barry and I to move into a "place of our own", so I'm going to rent out my house. Barry and I will rent for a year and then consider buying a house of our own.
I was discussing with Ken and Don tonight the whole process and what I will be leaving and what I will be taking and what kind of lease I will be writing up and whether or not they can paint and smoke inside, etc, etc... It's really overwhelming me... This is a major change in my life... I haven't wanted to admit to myself how major a change this is... but it's major. I need to accept that and start working on getting things organized. Oh so often in life I sit back and let things happen... this is something that I need to work on and actually "take the reigns" shall we say. I'm scared.
And being sick is not helping, although, it was good in that it let me spend a day resting and thinking and discussing with Ken & Don. I need to discuss with Lee and then start putting things in motion. Hopefully I won't be sick, and hopefully things will go smoothly...
I miss not being with Barry this evening... and he told me that he missed me being there... That was the deciding factor that we both agree we want to live with each other officially -- share a common place to call "home".
Wish us luck...
