Ladies and Gentlemen, Place Your Bets

It's no longer a recurring headache I get most days, off and on. It's now a non-stop headache I wake up with. Throw in achy finger joints and dizzy spells. I have a guess or two about what my doctor will probably conclude. Thursday afternoon, an answer might arise. I'm betting on Lyme.

Plays havoc with my concentration, let me tell you. So far, I can still slide into teacher-mind and give my students the good work they deserve, but I'm not useful for a whole lot else this week. It occurs to me that a moment may come when I won't be able to slide into teacher-mind, either. The moment I'm really hoping doesn't come is a moment when I stop being able to drive.

Dizzy spells probably mean this shouldn't be the week I get back into riding lessons. Damn and blast.
