Fainting Spell

Wow! I have not been posting for a long time. My long silence has caused my family and friends to worry about my well-being.

My apologies. Initially, my computer crashed. And then, there were certain things that happened - nothing to do with my health actually, just my time. Now, I have suddenly got into the mood for clearing out the junk in the house. The mess that I initially have no energy for and also been staring at with no idea where to start. Now that I have started, I did not feel like stopping and have turned it into spring cleaning since the Chinese New Year is fast approaching. It's therapeutic and I actually look forward to it everyday, looking for more junk to dump.

15 Nov 2008, Sunday - Just wanted to mention here that I have another fainting spell. I had a short nap before heading to the kitchen for lunch when I felt unwell. I sat on a kitchen stool (not a very wise move) to rest and before I realised it, my mind was in that now all too familiar state (one which I have since very much disliked and sort of fear too). It's like I am in another dimension and have difficulty waking up.

Fortunately, my husband was in the kitchen also and saw me slumped against the kitchen table. He grabbed me before I slid to the floor and I suddenly became fully conscious. I have a feeling these fainting spells have something to do with my stomach - waking up with either indigestion or hunger, and something to do with my poor blood circulation as well.

I would like to get over with the junk clearing so that I can concentrate on my blog postings. At the moment, I am also hard-pressed for time with my reading.
