Light-headed thoughts

I'm extraordinarily light-headed today. I can't move quickly or I get dizzy. I try not to stand up too fast, or spin around to address someone. Not the most pleasant, but not completely debilitating

While on the c-train this morning I noticed something that confirmed the arrival of the winter season. Amid the usual cacophony of the c-train car rattling and shaking, the wind whistling by the less than airtight doors, dozens of conversations, ringing cell phones, music played too loud through headphones, there was an additional set of noises. There was coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and a woman nearby was making a sort of grunting noise every few seconds as she attempted to breathe around her cold symptoms. And as I stood there, attempting not to pass out, I reflected that winter has indeed arrived.

With that, I'm off to continue spending money on postage. Not my money, my office's money. A couple thousand dollars a day lately, as we work to send out people's renewals. Isn't that the gift you always wanted at Christmas - a bill for your home insurance?

Christmas shopping to complete tonight, and a plan to make some Christmas cards to be mailed out sometime this week to my friends spread out across the face of the planet.
