Times Are Changing

I have been slow lately at working, one because of the freezing weather, two, because my Vertigo and Tintus (Noises in the ears) have returned at the same time. It was a strange way that the both returned at the same time. Very frightening. It happened one night the brain didn't want to shut off because I'd been working on setting up my webs, writing a story for my writing class, all kept rattling around in the brain. I went to roll over from my warm spot to relieve some aching muscles, as I rolled my brain was telling me there was no bed there and if I kept going I'd fall over the edge of the world, a picture of stars and open space flashed through my head, there was a sensation of falling into nothingness.

Wendy/Julie: Tumble through the doorway to land on the floor in a twisted bundle of arms and legs spitting vile words at each other. Julie: Gets the upper hand. Straddles Wendy. Holds Wendy's hands above her head with one of hers. “Okay, bitch. I want a straight answer. How did you do it?” Wendy: “Do what?” Struggles on the floor to move away. “I don't know what you're griping about. Julie: Slaps Wendy across the cheek with an open hand. “Don't lie to me. What did you promise Antonio for him to let you drive his precious car? Wendy: Saving her energ
