on the list of weird things that can go wrong

I think I must have some kind of inner ear impaction. I'm having a hard time figuring out which direction is "up".

It's a very odd sensation.

I think I am going to take a tentative walk around the block to test my navigational skills before I go to work tonight. I rather suspect I'm going to fall down a lot today.

[EDIT]

Scratch that. Fell out of the chair while trying to put my boots on.

I seem to be ok if I stay vertical and don't bend my head. But I called in to work anyway -- last thing I need is to go ass over tit in a freezer or something.

I swear. Somebody Out There is taking the piss.

and the world goes round and round

Successfully managed to get something off a high shelf by way of clutching the windowsill in a death grip. However, I also managed to fall off the toilet once, which is way up there on the "now I feel retarded" scale. Jezuz.

I'm also getting nausea from all the spinning that's going on around here. I think I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and go to bed for a while.
