On Thursday night, I got buzzed on wine and was dancing around, like I'm prone to do, in my kitchen.

I was bopping my head and spinning around a little, cleaning up, wiping counters down, when BOOM I got really dizzy. Like, really really dizzy, to the point of sitting down.

And I stayed dizzy the rest of the night and all day Friday. In the evening, I went to bingo, like I’m prone to do. I was nearly back to my old self when BOOM I got really dizzy again, to the point I couldn’t see my bingo card.

And I stayed dizzy all day Saturday and only now this morning am I somewhat coming out of it. Had a great night’s sleep and a big ol’ bowl of oatmeal and some fruit juice and now a pipeful of tobacco.

Other symptoms have been an earache and a fullness sensation in the achy ear (the right). In still moments, if I pay attention, I can feel my pulse beating in my ear.

The lady is very sick and has been coughing on me all week. I never get sick, but I think I’m sick now. I think she must’ve coughed directly into my ear.

I mean, what in the hell?
