California

Relocated to the Central Coast this week. Traveling required some creative eating out. Tried to make good choices but the first breakfast, the omelet bar was dished out of a bowl of egg mix. It was probably out of a carton and high in sodium. We had a Bentu box for lunch. It was curry on rice. Thought I was ok. Next day, driving out of Vegas on the 15, I had a sudden attack of vertigo, just once. Driving a 20 ft truck at freeway speed and all of a sudden, the world shifts sideways and back again. Whoa! Pulled over quickly and drank a liter of water down. Took a meclizine. Not a whiff of symptoms since. Taking my double doses of diuretic and lots of h2o.
Arriving in Los Osos, Mom is in her social mode. Wants to put out Hor devours and have happy hour. She doesn't understand that I can't eat pickled asparagus, crackers and cheese. Annie is being a pain by telling everyone about my dietary restrictions. I'm hoping that when I start work and get into a routine, then my dietary habits won't be a topic for conversation.
