Jul. 24th, 2006 03:10 pmWhiskey tango foxtrot!? About 10 minutes ago I started feeling like
someone put a steel band around my bronchial tubes and began tightening
it. It's reminiscent of the sensation I used to get with my tachycardia,
but there's no speeded-up pulse to go with it. Just a lightheaded
disconnectedness and an odd not-quite-nausea. It's like I wish I felt
nauseated but I don't. Vertigo, maybe. Yeah, that's close. I'd ask to go
home early but I'm not sure I can drive in this state anyway so there's
not much point. What I think I *will* do is go down to the library and
rest for a bit and see if it goes away.
No, probably I better stay here, in case it really is something; if I go
to the library and something happens no one might notice for a long
time.
Five minutes later: It's getting a little better, I think.
Ten more minutes later: Yeah, dissipating quickly now. Phew!

Date: 2006-07-26 01:12 pm (UTC)"Playing to the firmament"...An acquaintance of mine used to say that that song was the most powerful thing in the world to change one's mood and attitude. I don't quite get that effect, but I do like it.

Date: 2006-07-26 01:19 pm (UTC)I don't quite get that effect either, but I do like the song. I tend think of my journal title more in terms of the number of people who actually read my journal regulary (both of them) and feel I may as well be playing to the firmament ;) Although playing to the firmament does have it's own merits...
