I'm feeling quite good today. It has been a long day, but it was a nice one so no complaints.

All right....
The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.

I am tired, but I don't feel sleepy. This was the case last night too, and I was awake till 4 in the morning. And, today I have been out doing things the whole day. I need some 20 hrs sleep........
dizzy!
Leaping and hopping like a frog now, but still have a long way to go before I get crowned as "King Frog"!
Sleepy.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
My right eye is red, and itchy, and last night it was watery too...maybe conjunctivitis (sp?).....

As many of you know I am a 3rd generation fisherman. I have seawater in my veins and have been on boats practically since birth. My MAJOR defect is that I am CONSTANTLY sea-sick! So sea-sick, so often that I have in essence based my entire identity on those contradictory elements ... I love the sea and was born to it; but it makes me ill. Mal De Mer (French for sea-sickness) Man is the name of one of my boats, my e-mail address, and my tagline here at Litnet, and my screen/user name at many other sites.
A while back I posted about having an accident... the major result of which was a not-so-minor concussion. When the doc cleared me to go back to work I did so with some trepidation.... the up-chucking associated with my violent sea-sickness often exacerbates headaches, and I still had a doozey of a headache from my accident. Much to my surprise..... no sea-sickness.... not even queasy.
I've been back at work for 5 or 6 days now and STILL no sign of my life-long malady. Never before have I gone a full week (on a boat) without puking my guts out several times.
Talked to the doctor about it.... he was surprised, but not stunned.... he said brain injuries can have all sorts of weird side-effects, some permanent some not. Let's all cross our collective fingers and hope that I'm PERMANENTLY DAIN-BRAMAGED enough that I no longer have to endure Mal de Mer.
Many know that I HATE my job.... but I find myself hating it less and less. I find that, without the threat of being violently ill all day every day, I'm actually looking forward to getting on my boat any charging out to sea. There is an emerging sense of adventure that, most likely, was always there; but overshadowed by the dread of not feeling well.
Somewhere on this site someone asked "If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?"..... I've suddenly had my wish granted and I couldn't be happier!!
If I had known that a concussion could solve my problem; I would have been violently beating myself upside the head for years, or picking fights in barrooms, or taken up boxing, or become a human cannonball......

Wow, Biblio - that's both bizarre and fortuitous. My congratulations to you, sir!

I hope it is permanent for you Biblio. I love the sea myself, and I don't know what I would do if it made me ill to be out on it. As for myself, I am quite cranky today. I woke up to a horrible allergy attack so my eyes are all red and itchy and my one is already swollen and sore. Not my idea of fun, plus it sucks double bad since I already take two allergy medications routinely. I'm going to take some Benadryl (sp?) and hope it doesn't make me too drowsy.
Was feeling good sometime ago, after watching this very interesting talk show where little children were being questioned! Oh my God, it was soooo cute and amazing!
But now at the moment, I don't feel too good. Even if I try to think about my favourite things...
