So I decided to write a little bit more about my weekend from the vestibular point of view. I love going to synagogue, however, I find it extraordinarily frustrating that I can't follow a lot of the service by reading. Mercifully most of our service is sung and so parts of it tend to stick in my brain and I sing along where I can and hum along where I can't! :) I've become a lot more comfortable over time and no longer feel the need to hold the books and pretend I'm reading. I find that when I do hold the books I feel an uncontrollable urge to continue trying to read, long after I'm dizzy and nauseous and my eyes go weird! So, I'm being a rebel and going bookless this week!
Similarly, when I went to see the Karsh display in addition to actually focusing on the portraits I tried here and there to read at the very least the name of the subject and in some cases the bio of the subject. By the time I was halfway around I was feeling sick. By the end I was dizzy to the point of needing to sit down and look at a blank wall. Which is pretty tough to find in an art gallery!
So for those of you who know me, you know I can be kind of a gutless wonder sometimes. Today I am working to overcome that! I'm going to the Rady JCC to use the gym for the first time ever. There is a walking track there and I figure at the very least I can use that and it will provide a safe environment to do it in. I mean in terms of falls that is.
So far today, I've had my coffee, some cereal, emptied the dishwasher, showered and dressed. So next on the list is to try and find the phone number for the guy I was taking guitar lessons from. The only thing I remember is that his name is Gary! lol Don't even remember which place he was through. My bad. So that's my mission and once I've completed that I'll head over to the Rady!
Wish me luck!!!
Have a great day
