Today was a looooong day at work. I slept well when I did sleep and I felt rested enough when I went to work. However, with the wonderful weather system here in Anchorage, I found the day to be quite challenging. I should explain here that I have Meniere's disease. It is an inner ear, hearing and balance disorder. One of my triggers happens to be barometric changes. Vertigo hit me unexpectedly. Having not experienced it in awhile I was caught off guard.

It took a couple hours but I was able to work through the symptoms, but it wears me down, so as I sit in my trusted recliner, i am exhausted. I feel like I've spent a full day on carnival rides.

One of my besties is turning 40 in about a month. I received a text from her daughter telling me what her mom would like for her birthday. So we have begun the party planning process. I have been told I can be a slight control freak when it comes to planning things, so I am making a conscientious effort to not take over the planning. I will merely offer guidance...hopefully. :)

My oldest brother will be in town tomorrow, haven't seen him in a couple years. I'm excited to spend the few hours with him during his layover on his way to Dillingham tomorrow.  

I have a propensity towards petulance, and once again I proved it at work. My mouth occasionally responds before I can filter my thoughts. I work at a good company, but I have a manager who is not qualified for the position she is in. I feel bad, I can hear my mom in my mind telling me not to be such a jerk, but I can't help myself. I'm sure karma will knock at my door, but i'm a big girl and will accept the consequences.

Anyway, i am going to wrap this up, it is getting late and I need to make some kind of dinner.
