yes, where have i been??

oh, my loyal following, you wouldn't believe where i've been. offline is where. dammit, when you move, and try to be responsible, and set up all your bills on auto-pay, it should all be good, right? except, when you forget to set one up on auto-pay, and you only realize it after the internet doesn't work, it takes FOREVER to get it hooked back up. but i'm back on, thank god, and have a surreal experience to share. did you know that there are microscopic crystals that grow on the hairs in your inner ear? and did you know that they are harmless unless they, for no known reason, detach and start floating around in your inner ear canal and give you the most horrible and unending vertigo ever? and did you know that most people don't know anything about it and you have to go through about a week and a half of your whole life coming to a screeching halt because you can't even get out of bed without falling over? yeah well, now you do. and, more horribly, now i do. oh my god, when you call your boss and tell him you have to have physical therapy to rearrange the crystals in your ear, it just seems the stupidest punk'd skit ever. jesus, it was horrible. i couldn't drive, i couldn't hardly move with out the room swooping around me, i thought i was having a stroke, it was awful. awful awful awful!! but, i did get the physical therapy and now i'm feeling better. i actually made it through a whole night of work, for the first time since new years eve, last night. yeah, two weeks off. with no pay. really really bad stuff folks. but hopefully some saudi arabian prince will come in and order three bottles of Petrus and make me my rent in one night!! ha ha. like that will happen. and seeing as how the fiasco has called a total of five times (at the most) in the last month or more, i'm thinking i'm going to start looking around again. my self-esteem needs the push, i can tell you. i'm down there real low right now, and definitely need some pumping up. and i'm also going to get back on the exercise that i had started before moving became an impossibility. so, there's my first of years post. exciting huh? i'm going to make it more exciting this year if it kills me!!
