Waiting for my friend to pick me up and take me over to another friend’s house for a get together with a bunch of other ladies I haven’t seen in years. Nervous... what if I get an attack? (Drugs in my pocket) What if I can’t hear well? What if they are all wearing perfume? What if I feel yucky being driven in the dark? (Already pre-loaded some clonazepam and meclizine). What if I want to go home before her? (Uber). Ok good chat. Optimism time - it’s supposed to be fun, right?? But I know you guys get it.
It was all wonderful. A bit of perfume, but it didn’t trigger headache or vertigo. Everyone mostly talked one at a time in a group of snot 10 of us - I only had to say Pardon? 2 or 3 times.
AnneT so happy you made the decision to go. The thought of social isolation during the winter months is quite depressing and then add the fear of vertigo on top of it makes one full of anxiety. Anxiety triggers menieres as you and I know! Keep socially active so your mind won't linger on the "what if" routine. Peace!
Getting ready to go see the granddaughters, ages two and five. We're going to do Christmas-y things today. Yesterday I baked cookies to decorate, got some pre made gingerbread houses to also decorate and got them each a little tree and decorations so they can have their own little tree in their bedrooms. It's going to be a busy and fun day.
Just sitting here winding down after getting back from a doctor's appointment. Marta, I'm so excited for you that you have a garden and that you're enjoying it so much! California Sun, I'm jealous of both the carnitas tacos and the pool time. You're living the good life.
My apologies for being honest about my feelings. I've noticed that honesty seems to offend the huge majority of people, not sure why.
Oh my. I read in another thread where you are hoping we’d be kind to each other. I agree. The covid restrictions that some of us are experiencing are difficult to be sure. I haven’t seen my kids or grandkids in over 6 weeks and I don’t know when I will so I get frustration. I don’t want to invalidate your feelings. Those of us who are in shelter in place circumstances are having to make sacrifices. It’s hard. People who actually are in prison would envy you. i hope you are doing better today. We’re in this together.
