Vertigo

The doctor at the military base says that's what I have. Vertigo. Actually he said it was Endolymphatic hydrops so I 'dumbed' it down.

I went to work for like 2 hours but was about to spew when I finally asked if someone could come work the rest of my shift. Saturday night on our way home from the hospital I barfed all in the car causing me to cry and apologize profusely to Keith.

I am still trucking on with my diet, though! Come hell or high water I intend to lose 100lbs in a year. I fully intended to start a REAL work out regime today - but that has taken a back seat to my complete lack of balance as well as hand-eye coordination.

Though most probably consider it boring - I also plan to continue vlogging - but again this will all wait until I have a decent amount of time to do so. With the brand new expensive ass camera Keith bought I plan to vlog outside my home as well as in.

Two paintings have been finished so far, and I'd really like to start another. For a while I was really embarassed of my 'childish' type art style that I've ALWAYS had, but after browsing some artwork I have decided that my style is actually more Pop Art than anything. No, it isn't 4 frames of Campbell's Soup - Oh sod it you'll see soon!

I'm sure it sounds as if not much is going on, but its quite the opposite. I have lots that I'd like to type up - but can't for a bit yet I think. I will just break to the quick questions though to keep folks from worrying:

I'm not pregnant.
Keith and I are doing VERY well
The cat is still alive
Our car works fine
Our front and back garden need mowed
My feet hurt but that's normal
No one we know has died
No one we know is dying
No one we know is getting divorced

I think that covers the big bases. I'll update with all the info I can WHEN I can. Hopefully that will be in vlog form .. this weekend maybe? Not sure yet.

One Day I Will Get a Break!

So the past week or two I have been really busy - both with work and with Keith. Keith had been working on videos for an Air Force banquet, and I was busy playing executive producer.

The banquet was good, actually. Fancy three course meal and all that - but the problem was .... I didn't fit in. This still REALLY bothers me! I was looking around at all the other wives and how differently I was dressed, and couldn't help but feel like I should just hide behind Keith's coat tails. I don't have a picture at this moment - but when I do I'll post what I looked like to prove that I didn't look THAT odd but I definitely stood out.

Honestly though, I think my appearance was welcomed by the commanders, Colonels and others. My off beat appearance caused lots of people to take notice of me first instead of greeting Keith first - which I think will make him more memorable to them when it comes promotion and award time next year. But its all over with now so I feel much better!

I still feel like I'm working a LOT - and I'm starting to have some serious problems with my feet. I have a strip of bruise down the bottoms of each of my feet and its starting to worry me. At first it was pinkish and made me think "Oh great I have athlete's foot!" but as the week went on it went from pink to black to blue and now a steady purplish color - so its definitely a bruise. I don't know what would cause a bruise on the bottom center of my foot but I hope its nothing serious. I know, I worry about the stupidest shit.

Later this week I hope to do an actual vlog with a little editing and post bits of us going to work ... y'know our daily routine. I know that sounds really boring - but lots of my friends and family and Keith's also ... well they check my blog and much prefer my vlogs to reading my text. Most my family hasn't seen me in over a year now so they like being able to watch me talk.

Okay! Going to find some dinner and hopefully I remember to vlog this week!

Its Not a Wig

Its no surpise to anyone I know that I like to dye my hair at random intervals with whatever color tickles my fancy at that moment.

Now? Its black. And? Its not a wig.
