As The World Turns...

I confess that our life is a dizzy mess right now but YIKES!!!  I spent a whole week suffering from vertigo like nothing I've ever experienced before!...  See, last Monday we grilled burgers and I made macaroni and cheese and with our current camping lifestyle I took the macaroni outside to drain the water off rather than pouring it down our drain and then having to drain all that later.  I found a nice poison ivy plant nearby and started pouring the previously boiling water on top of it.  Up came this really moldy, musty, earthy smell and I thought "Gee that was dumb!"  I know that people can die from inhaling smoke from burning poison ivy but what about just pouring hot water on it and breathing the steam?  So I moved over and finished pouring the rest out.  Up came the same smell--maybe stronger.  When I went back inside I told DH about what I had done and let him know that if I turned up sick out of the blue--well, there might be something to it.  Lo and behold if I didn't wake up dizzy the next morning.   It just got progressively worse day by day with Friday being the worst.  It was like being on a never ending carnival ride!!  I threw up and was nauseated all the time at the peak.  BLAH!!

I feel terrible for anyone who struggles with vertigo on a regular basis.  I basically lost almost a whole week of my life.  Now I don't know if the macaroni and cheese incident was the real culprit or not since I was feeling very vitamin depleted and upped my vitamin intake (OK...started taking my vitamins again like I should!) and felt relief nearly right away.  Either way, I'm pretty much back to my normal "dizzy" self.  ;-)  The world has stopped spinning for the most part and I can drive again!  Woo Hoo!!  It's the little things in life...
