Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What happened with all y'all's vertigo? 'Cause it's freaking me right out, I tell you what!

Because I went to the ER, I saw a more senior doctor, who referred me to a fancy-pants ENT guy he knew, and the upshot was, probably a virus, wait it out, sorry. The ENT was super over-explain-y, but the upshot is, the only thing to do for inner ear issues like vertigo is surgery in your head, so that's pretty last resort. But some astronaut had it. I forget.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, okay, lighting my ear on fire and surgery on my head not options! Hee.

Maybe the paper fire cone thing did something with pressure differentials? Dunno.

Anyway, yeah, it's a virus wait it out is the advice I got. Oh well.

They said to try motion sickness OTC meds, but they didn't do anything for me.

Punishingly Intricate

I went to the ER for vertigo!

The time I was admitted to the hospital from the ER was when I had vertigo! But I had it so bad I couldn't open my eyes without throwing up. And it went away after a few days. They never figured out exactly what it was but it was probably a virus.

I do still have a tendency to vertigo, but it's never been as bad as that first time.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I once managed to go to the ER three times within the space of a year, but that's it (once for vertigo, once for an infected cat bite, and once when I had my stroke).

Apparently!

So, Top Design? I feel like it was obvious that Nathan was going to win, and I feel good about it.

Because books.

I actually wasn't sure at first, Jesse. I didn't love his house as much as I wanted to, and Margaret was right about that wallpaper going up the stairs.

I felt like I could live in Ondine's house, and really liked all of it, but that it wasn't *quite* high-concept enough, especially that front room.

I actually thought Preston was going to win. I think in the end he was almost too polished. And I got that vibe that they both wanted to reward Nathan for taking chances and that they knew Preston was going to be really successful anyway.
