Interesting prompt on a day where I woke up extremely dizzy and slightly nauseous. Not sure of the cause of it, it happens once a year or so. It wasn’t a room spinning type of dizziness but rather a continuous swipe to the left kind of dizziness. Everything kept going to the left.
I chalk it up to eating too much salt. Yesterday I had a crab baked sushi accompanied by oodles of dried seaweed. So tasty. Yet so salty. The last time this happened I had made a stir fry the night before and with the salt added to the meat and veggies, plus the oyster sauce and soya sauce, it was the perfect storm to induce vertigo.
Anyway it should pass by lunchtime.
My poor mom was plagued by Meniere’s disease from around the age of forty. That’s an inner ear disturbance caused by too much fluid. It caused her a lot of problems until she was diagnosed and put on medication. She was advised by her doctor to limit salt intake and no caffeine or alcohol allowed.
She was pretty heavy on the salt prior to that. Giving up caffeine to switch to decaf was probably pretty life changing for her. I hope that never happens to me.
Back to the prompt, this morning and really pretty much every morning and all day everyday, I like security and comfort. I can only handle so much sitting around yet I’m not really a let’s go on an adventure kind of person. I want to know where we’re going, how long it takes to get there, where we’ll sleep and what’s the point of going.
There was a time in my life when I wanted to do things like skydiving, but now I value my life too much.
