20% done with being in charge

But did the Birkie 200k on Saturday, and got my ANSI Class 3 vest today.  The vest is not stylish, but the cars seemed to notice it.

The wife's back, so less housework! But got sick.

The night before work began, I woke up all dizzy.  Was able to sleep some more then had to get up around 05:30 due to the intense nausea caused by all the dizziness.  Stayed home on Tuesday, and saw the doctor, who ruled out the more serious causes of vertigo, and gave Rx to relieve the symptoms.  The meds helped, and today, Wednesday, I felt better and good enough to search it out on the web.  BPPV is Benign (not harmful), Paroxysmal (all of a sudden onset), Positional (just what is says), Vertigo (dizziness).    I also tried out a technique for moving the fluids around in the semi-circular canals of the middle ear called the Epley maneuver.  I could feel stuff moving around in there, so hopefully that will do the trick.  It did seem like the vertigo was quite severe on the right side, good thing the associated nausea's not around, and not on the left side.
