Hello. Ew gross. There we go. Much better.


Hello. So an update of my weekend. 
Yesterday, a fine Saturday, I hung out with my good ol' Gishwhesian friends. First I attended a football game, which I honestly think I should not have. I don't even pay attention to the game. I was watching basically the cheerleaders the entire time. The uniformity of their movements makes me really happy. And then the marching band came out for half time and I focused on the xylophone players because wow. Those guys are awesome. I also noticed that the snare drum players twirled their sticks before they hit the drums. Sauve.
After the game ended, some shippy things happened. But I will not dwell in on that.
 Crystal Caruso informed me that I give out pretty violent hugs. 'Tis true. If I like you, I will give you the most embracing squeeze that may or may not result in pain. 
Around 5pm, Amy, Rosa and I arrived our destination, being Amy's house. There, we played Super Smash Bros together. I really like Kirby, btw. That guy. So neat. 
Not too long afterwards, Vicki and Bailey arrived. We ate pizza, played with the webcam and all that fun stuff girls and a Jason do.
When the clock neared 8pm, I decided I should head on home. My mom didn't want me walking home alone, so Vicki and Amy volunteered to walk me home. 
....
Later that night, approximately 11pm, I was having trouble sleeping. I quickly sat up to reach my water bottle, but immediately had to hold onto the bed because I felt like I was falling over. I wasn't though. Weird. I took a sip of my water, and laid down. Okay, so now the room is spinning, and my head is pounding. Well that is strange. I should tell my mom, huh. I grab my glasses, and holy moly, walking was a very hard thing to do. The world was spinning and I'm quite surprised by my ability to even walk. I bust into my mom's room and inform her on my condition. "I'M DIZZY."
Unfortunately, there was no medicine in the cabinets to assist in my condition. So sleeping was a challenge. I noted everything that triggered the spinning. 
1) Sitting up
2) Laying down
3) Turning my head while laying down
4) Basically anything that involved movement of my head.

It hurt the worst while laying down. Sitting up was more pleasant.
I was seriously concerned that that would be the night that I die. 
...
Come the morning, my neck is still sore for keeping it in one position all night. Still dizzy. I couldn't attend worship service at my church, causing me to miss out on meetings, paper work, choir practice, and a more fun, bridal shower. I'm pretty upset about that. 
After having about 20 hours of sleep, I felt a lot better. My mom returned with Wendy's french friends and motion sickness medicine. That helped a lot. 
I am currently feeling a whole lot better. Still a bit light headed, but not dying with every head turn I make. 

Thanks for reading.
