I have occasional problems with my right ear. It tends to get blocked with wax from time-to-time, and every now and then I get a virus or something affecting it. What this usually means is a week or so of tinnitus, and then all’s back to normal.  The tinnitus struck up about two weeks ago and I’m still dealing with that, but on Wednesday morning I woke feeling dizzy and not at all well. Like an idiot I got up and started to head to work. I made it less than a kilometre before turning around and heading home. I spent some time violently throwing up and feeling rotten, before sleeping deeply for the rest of the morning.  I then saw the doctor and spent Wednesday and Thursday doing nothing much but being sick.  Friday wasn’t too bad, and Saturday is still up in the air.  Meh.

In the meantime I turned my attention to WorldCon and flight/hotel bookings.  Some friends of ours are staying in an apartment hotel, and we may well stay there. We are also considering the Hilton, which has some very nice apartments too.  Dollars are a big consideration, though. I was annoyed to discover that room rates went up while we pondered, so we’ll push to get this, and airfares I suppse, dealt with soon. This means nudging a few people out there to pay some bills so we can, but this is the life of everyone so I while I’m complaining, I’m not complaining (if you know what I mean).
