I occasionally get dizzy if I stand up too quickly. Inner ear problems. Haven’t blacked out yet but its scary. I’m making myself slow down. Staying off ladders and roofs. ---

Well so far the PTs are consistent. I walked the track while they sat there playing on their phones. I got on the wavy floor thingy to work on balance. I did that good. Then I peddled the recumbent cycle. It felt easier today. ---

There’s Beck, back on the comeback trail again. I half expect to hear a report from a team trainer saying when they expect you back in uniform. Not an easy lady to sideline for long, that one. ---

I’ve had a good day. My legs are sore. That tells me the rehab is doing its job. My glucose is behaving. The Li’l wrekker spent a bunch of time here. My dialysis went well this afternoon. No cramps. Just went easily and quick. The food was good and edible. I feel happy tonight. ---

@carnut , we are doing that. I worry about Bayliss. He loves my closet. He may have to come out of the closet​:nerd\_face:🤓. The down stairs guest room is also my haunted room. It’s the original log cabin we built around. The Siamese tell me all about the haunted room. They are the only mammals you go in there with no fear. I told Mid-daughter to sage the rooms. Eh, what can go wrong? ---

BTW, I’m having some pre-seizure symptoms. The neurologist has ok’d 2 injections to forestall it. I’m kinda high. My posting may get weirdy. No one be alarmed if I sound goofy. Just flag me. I’m trying to stay off my phone and tablet. Someone told me “go to sleep” I’m sorry I just hadda answer that. What @carnut asked. I’m not gonna tell secrets, I swear. Someone shut me up. Please. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Someone shut me up. Please. Shaddup. No, don’t. We like what you have to say. Always. Glad you are moving downstairs, but bummed to hear it is the haunted room. Good for burning sage. Mind you, I don’t believe in haunts, etc., but burning sage leaves a lovely scent and it certainly shouldn’t harm anything. I love sage… Poor Bayliss. I hope he can cope with the change. I’m glad to hear they are watching you closely for seizures. Perhaps you should try coloring for a bit, it’s restful. ---

You stay right where you are, missy. If you get whacky enough, the cats will come see _you_. I’m glad your family is making the change. Bayliss may be a tad confused for a day or two, but he wants to be with you much more than he wants to be in a certain room. And I think you’ll only attract friendly ghosts, just as you only attract friendly critters.
