and yay, I killed no one on the road with my Odyssey .. lol.
I'm still not totally well ... BUT I need to get my eyebrows trimmed at the salon .. I was very tempted to go this afternoon, BUT the lady who does it needs for me to lie down ..
SIGH
And that I still can't do that without feeling slightly woozy.
I contemplated just doing it cos I can't stand the sight of my messy, untrimmed eyebrows ... but man, I don't think the aunty would be happy if I puked all over her salon floor after she's done .. worse still if I throw up just after she does ONE eyebrow ...
hahahah!! ... so now, here I am with my messy eyebrows sitting up at 2 am cos I'm hesitant about lying down on my pillow ... and feeling dizzy.
bummer.

Harry Potter and the half-blood prince ...
watched the movie with hubby and Calista today ... good movie !! Well, it would've been boring for those of you who aren't fans and who haven't read the books .. yes, I have read every Harry Potter book in the series .. loved them all. And I enjoyed the movie immensely. I was sure glad that Calista decided to sleep almost throughout so I could watch in peace .. thank goodness.
My vertigo hasn't disappeared btw. Damn thing. Who would've thought that the amts of calcium deposits in your both of your inner ears could get imbalanced and cause you to feel dizzy and affect your sense of balance. I still can't sleep flat down ... I need to keep my head at a 45 degree angle. Bummer, man. And it seems like everytime, my medication wears off, that's when I start to feel lightheaded and a bit dizzy ... not outright dizzy but just disoriented.
sigh
not like life can come to a complete standstill while I recover from this. My doc warned me that it could take up to 2 weeks or more for it to go away .. and guess what?!!
It could recur since I seem to be prone to it.
Blardy hell. The last time I got it was in March .. that was a particularly bad episode .. I couldn't swivel my head AT ALL without feeling nauseous. I threw up a few times that time around.
This time, while it isn't so bad ... it is taking its time to get better.
Until then, staring at the tv and computer screen is heaven since I don't need to turn my head left of right ...

Mummy, you don't love me ...
declared my 5 year old sticking her hand out under my nose while I was staring my at PC screen checking my email.
I looked down at her little hand and opened my mouth to ask why she said that ... but immediatedly noticed that the little aunty's fingernails were nice and LONG.
oh dear.
That's the other thing ... my previous maid did things like that for my girls .. not only did she cook and clean but she also took care of and played with the girls and clipped their nails for them.
sigh.
I got the clipper out of the drawer and proceeded to cut Lauren's nails for her.
After I was done, I told her .. see, mummy loves you.
lol!!

Miracles do happen
Her treatment in the US will cost US$350 000 (that's about S$500k) .. and I've just been to her godmother's blog for her and they've managed to raise that money !! Awesome !!
I think it's just wonderful that even in this downturn, there are people out there that have donated money to help this little girl.
Her story was first reported in The New Paper on the 14th of June, 2009 - read article here then shortly after that, readers raised some 40k for her - read article here. Football stars also pitched in to raise money for her - read article here.
Miracles do happen. All the best to Charmaine in New York.
If you'd like to make a cash donation, read how to go about doing that here
