Wall clock vs Mariana

Sunday morning I had plans to meet up with my friend Roxy and go scrapbooking. Yes I said scrapbooking. Ok, you can stop laughing now. Nevertheless I needed to start packing the million different bits I was going to take over for her and I to share on our quest to craft! I went into the spare bedroom to get my scrapping bag (yes its a bag specifically set aside for scrapping) but little did I know that what would follow would be the worst 24 hours of my life.

I opened the closet door and pulled out the bag. I closed the door and quickly turned around to say something to my father when I felt something hit me on the top of my head. I was dazed for a bit, startled really because I didn't know what happened. I started to do that thing that babies do when they laugh and cry at the same time. I couldn't figure out what the heck happened!! My dad rushed over and asked me if I was okay. 'I don't know' was my response. I felt nauseated and dizzy all at once. Right away I had a mean headache. I stuck it out for a couple of hours and then finally decided to go to Urgent Care. Once I got there the doctor checked me out and let me know that I have a concussion and I should take it easy. If I felt nauseated or dizzy I should go to ER.

Fast forward a couple of hours. I still had a killer headache so I decided to go to bed early. I went to bed but woke up startled because my head couldn't stop spinning. I ran to the bathroom and threw up non-stop. I couldn't stop throwing up. At this point I was sweating like a crackhead de-toxing. I couldn't move from the pain so my parents called 911. The paramedics came and took my vitals, etc. They said I needed to go to the ER.

Once I arrived at the ER I took a quick pit stop to the bathroom where I again couldn't stop throwing up. I finally got taken in where I was seen by a doctor. He diagnosed me with Vertigo which was the reason I was throwing up. I was given Anti-Vert as well as a short for the nausea. I felt slightly better but not 100% percent. Once I was discharged I went home and went straight to bed. It was around 3am at this point.

Today I went to see my regular doctor and she suggested I get a CATscan done to make sure there were no fractures or internal bleeding. I got the results a couple of hours ago - no fractures and no bleeding. Yay!

The moral of the story is : (1) Don't hang heavy clocks in locations where people close/open doors. (2) Scratch that, don't hang heavy clocks anywhere they could potentially hurt someone. (3) Vertigo sucks. (4) Always wear a helmet.

You should know that I won. In addition to a chunk being taken out of it the wooden clock no longer works. It helps to have a hard head...lol!

These people are rad...

I was on http://boingboing.net/ the other day upon the suggestion from a co-worker and I have to say I'm in love. The website is filled with tidbits from everything - art, music, news, etc.

There is this great group of collaborative artists that make up 'The Glue Society'. Its composed of artists - writers, directors, as well as designers. They sure come up with some random stuff but overall its amazing. You have to check it out.

I just don't know...

I'm confused. Far more then usual. I just don't understand what makes a guy want a second date with a girl. If you go out with someone and you have a great time and its expressed by both parties does that constitute grounds for a second date? When did this all become so complicated? Upon suggestion for a friend I decided to sign up for e-harmony. So far its been 'okay'. I try not to take it too seriously or get too involved with people I meet but its so difficult not to. I found out that my best friend is pregnant and even though I'm insanely happy for her and wish her all the best...I want that too!! I just keep wondering when it will be my turn. I have a great job, amazing parents and friends, etc. Ugh!! It just starts to wear on you after a while. What to do.
