It was 106 degrees yesterday--not a record but close! Some rain may be on its way--we hope!

I've been having some woozy episodes in the mornings--everything gets really bright and glary. The brightness seems to fill my head--and I get woozy! I feel like I'm going to pass out--I often have to sit down and let the episode pass. This morning, I had a starting episode at home as I stared out the windows--I then drove to get breakfast and I had another episode as I entered the cafe. In the last episode, I had to sit down and wait for things to stabilize and the wooziness to pass. For the rest of the day, I felt light and our of sync--although I did go to dance class and felt more stable there and afterwards.

I drank a V8 Fusion drink before heading for class--I think the caffeine boost needs to be part of my daily intake. I waited and had a Frappuccino after class--and a half sandwich for dinner. But there's something about the glare of the sun that seems to trigger these events--I put on a pair of sunglasses and that seems to moderate the problem.

I scoped out that there is a dance class every Wednesday midday in the El Dorado Hills senior center--the center is a ten mile drive. That's about the same distance as the Rancho class--about 10 miles as well. The traffic to El Dorado should be lighter--and it's mostly freeway. I think I'll make the journey up there tomorrow--and check it out. It's a deal--a $3 fee per class!

No sign of the mouse (mice) that chewed up my ear buds--the new set is put away each night so they won't be tempted.
