Spinning!

For the last few days I've experienced this strange vertigo. The last time I experienced something like this I decided to clean my ears out. I was completely nauseated and could not drive. I had a voice over that day and had to cancel.

Complete suck.

This came on 2 nights ago in the middle of the night. I thought that I was affected by alcohol, but I didn't drink that night. It's not completely overwhelming. I'm hoping I just have a little cold in my ear and it will go away on its own. Ah, without health insurance I have to hope for the best.

The good news is that I am having a great day. I started my day heading down to Livermore and auditioning for Livermore Shakespeare. Since the festival is outdoors in the summer, they rehearse in one of the neighborhood hotels. It was so pleasant. The Artistic Director and the other auditors (another director and the dramaturge) were so welcoming. We chatted a bunch and then I was sent outside to look at a side from The Real Thing. They are also doing Romeo & Juliet. I'm guessing at this stage I would be up for either the Nurse or one of the moms. Whatever happens it was a great experience. Not only that but the 40 minute drive was scenic AND the coffee in the hotel was hot and tasty.

I got back to Berkeley in time to head to Chauncey's jazz class. Gosh, his teaching style and warm-ups just make me smile. Other than two short bouts of vertigo the class was completely enjoyable. I left The Beat sweaty and happy.

Tony and I just cleaned the apartment for additional aerobic benefits. Now we're hanging on the couch in preparation for a little dinner and Eddie Izzard. I cannot tell you have excited I am.

For my loyal readers you know that things have not been sunshine and lollipops. However, I am proud to say that today was a good day.
