Dizzy, but it was fun getting there…

I’m exhausted, and a little on the dizzy side.  It’s been a challenging weekend, and I’ve done far too much.  It’s at times like this where I employ the phrase ending “… but it was fun getting there.”

Yesterday my parents took me to town to choose my birthday present.  I turn 30 in a little over 2 weeks time – a prospect that leaves me a little melancholy if I’m perfectly honest about it, not because I am to turn 30 but that it is another ‘big’ birthday since I got ill that I have not been well enough to do anything ‘big’ to celebrate, plus a few other reasons I won’t go into.  I’m still nowhere near recovered allergy-wise from my recent big hiccough, and the telling sign was I am back to reacting to virtually every shop I enter – for some really odd reason I was OK in Marks & Spencer!  The day was a success though, in that I chose some lovely presents for my birthday and my graduation, and got some nice shoes too.  With the aid of a mobility scooter I also bought some funky slipper socks at Sainsbury’s.

Today my family had a belated celebration meal at the only place I can eat fairly freely and without worry about my allergies.  It ‘only’ involved me sitting in a car, transferring to the table at the place, and eating, but by the end of the meal I knew I’d over-done it big time.  I get vertigo spells when I’m extremely exhausted or when I have over-done it, but before it has been limited to home, or where ever I am staying that night.  Today it happened while I was out.

I’m that exhausted and having vertigo spells that it’s taken me over 5 hours to write this, and I know I am going to have to do absolutely nothing for the next few days.

Now it’s time for bed.
