dizzy

i'm just finishing up editing photos for albums for christmas. i started last week and really didn't think it would take this long. i'm excited to get them printed and put them in order. that's my favorite part. i still haven't found presents for half my family. i have today off though so i'll be out shopping until i drop. and that may be literally. i've been experiencing vertigo lately. this is going on three days now. it's happened before but always went away pretty quickly. there are a few nurses who come through bbuster that i always get diagnoses from when i have something wrong. the inner ear was the unanimous culprit. they all said i should go to the doctors if it continues much longer. so i may be spending my bday on thursday at the doctors. that's the other day i got off this week. i need to email my family and tell them i didn't get off sunday to celebrate with them. after i made a big deal about wanting to celebrate apart from christmas. and it turns out i'll probably be working christmas eve and christmas. the manager and i both worked on thanksgiving thinking that then the other two shift leaders would take a shift on christmas and christmas eve. apparently that was just a thought though because neither of them can work either. i just hope i get my original request of christmas eve night and christmas day morning off. mom will cry if i don't. and i just might too. my grandma was in the hospital this past weekend. she'd fallen and broke a vertebrae. i called and wasn't sure she knew who i was at first. but once she said she'd started reading the book i sent her i was pretty sure she knew it was me. she said she hadn't had any visitors and seemed happy i'd called. poor grandma. gareth and i saw some movies this weekend. he reviewed invictus and really liked it. i went to see the princess and the frog with him and we both really enjoyed that. glad disney's got their animation studio up and going again. my family will have to thank them for me. they're at disney world this week.
