Well, today started out differently. I ended up spending the morning at the doctor's office. I woke up with an inner ear problem -- dizzy and nauseous and my left ear hearing a "tinny" sound. It was very irritating and I couldn't move my head much or I'd feel like throwing up. It was interesting. And there's nothing much to be done. Take Clairitan D to try to get rid of the fluid in my inner ear, take a medication that knocks me out for a couple of hours for the dizziness and nausea. I didn't take it -- I'd rather put up with the dizziness than be out of it that much. Oh, and it will probably always be a slight problem so I can't ride the tea cup ride at Disney World or a carousel. Add that to the list of things Son #2 can't do and now I need to keep a reminder in my purse! "Let's see ---- who can't do what here?".
Daughter #1 is out of town now --- she was presenting her paper tonight, which was published. Very boring sounding but also very impressive. And, she heard from Yale on Monday and she has an interview with them (I'm not sure where she came from but I think she certainly took the most amount of brain cells --- very selfish of her). I'm not sure that she's going to go there --- I think she's leaning towards Harvard, maybe. Can you believe that Harvard would be someone's "backup" school?!! Sheesh.
Oh, and to my little bro and sis ---- yes, I am a weenie when it comes to being cold. There are not many things I would admit to being a weenie about, but I freely admit to this. No, it's not nearly as cold here as it is in your neck of the woods, but for us, it's cold. Very, very cold. Before you start thinking you are superior in the weather department -- let's compare our summers and what you two think is "hot". Trust me --- what you think is "hot" is spring to me. So, it's all in the perspective. :)
OK, the typing and the reading makes the nausea worse so that's it for today.
Oh, Jim's mom improved slightly today. Just slightly but when you're deep in the woods you really hang on to "slightly".
I seem to live deep in the woods.

Umm....just because Whitney is going to Harvard doesn't mean she has more brain cells than I do.
It doesn't mean she doesn't, but it doesn't mean she does, either.
I might just be hiding tons of brain cells that you don't know about. :)
Hey chicky! Good to hear Jim's mom is a little better, you take what you can get. I do agree on the hot/cold thing your hot and our hot is WAY different! I hope your inner ear problem is resolved by the time I get there cuz there will be no throwing up! Oh and Wendee, chocolate sounds really good on or after the 9th of March, she will be needing it alot then. :) OH and wow! I'm going to be there then too. What a coinky dink! I love you J and I will see you soon!
.....Okay....I hereby ban the use of the phrase "coinky dink" here and anywhere else- with the exception, perhaps, of a preschool television program.
Just kidding! (But not really....Aunt D....take that out of your vocabulary for spring break. :) )
Love you both!
Ok niece #2, I'm getting old so you might send me a list of words I can't use. Like totally! Love you!
Hey sis I am sooooo lucky to have such a great family! I love you guys!
What's wrong with coinky dink? I kinda like it! As a writer I often invent words... Dr Seuss sounding words like shortish and wonkish and ginormous, only turns out I didn't invent ginormous! ;) Or the other ones for that matter... Mar 9- I'll supply some chocolate!!! anyhoo, are you sure you shouldn't get a 2nd opinion on the "you'll always have to live with this" for the dizziness/inner ear prob??? If this is a new thing that's arisen that seems a pretty extreme prognosis... then again I sometimes harbor a severe mistrust of the medical/pharmaceutical industrial-complex!
Hey, I've had a bout with the dizziness stuff about 3 times now and they called mine vertigo. 1st time I had it I was in Florida went to the ER because I had no clue why I was so dizzy, anyway told me to take a dramamine and I was fine. Happened another time so I took a dramamine and then this last time went to the Dr. again they ran all sorts of tests and determined it was probably allergy related. I guess all that to say maybe you could take a dramamine to get rid of your dizziness. I think they have non drowsy. I realize I don't know all of what's going on but one dramamine knocked my dizziness out! I 'm kind of with Wendee on the second opinion, just my two cents.
Love,
Julie
