You're making me Dizzy...

My head is spinning. Literally. Every once in a while I have a string of dizzy spells for a couple of days. I'm not really sure what's causing it. The latest series of spells started yesterday.

I woke up with a headache yesterday morning, and it stayed with me all day. I felt light headed even though I ate and kept hydrated. On the drive home I got a quick snack, and I felt momentarily better. After dinner though, I started to get another dizzy spell. I'm thinking it's maybe something I'm eating. (Last night I had white rice, black beans and jalapeno sausage.) Maybe a gluten allergy?

Last night the dizziness caused me to not sleep very well. I laid in bed for an hour, and it felt like the room was spinning. This morning is more of the same. I know I need to go to the doctor, but I don't necessarily have the money or the time at the moment. I have a day off coming up in a few weeks. It's my birthday, but maybe my gift to myself should be a clean bill of health.

In other areas things are somewhat awkward and feel estranged. I don't know how to explain it other than that, and I don't feel like launching into an analytic diatribe. We'll see if things straighten up this week. Perhaps Mercury is in retrograde.
