So in February next year it'll be two years with this weird, balance issue. Dr said she'd arrange for a CT scan if things get worse before them or come February on the two year mark.

Am a little nervous to find out what's going on, I'm 95% sure it's PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness) and related directly to my anxiety, but the other 5% (of which anxiety likes to build a mountain from) has me worried it's something sinister. Dr has assured me, if it was sinister, it wouldn't show symptoms that never progress for two years straight - the ENT I saw said the exact same thing, and every test they've done (plus the ones with the Physio School) have suggested I actually have zero balance issues and this is my own brain fighting me.

That 5% though, yo.

Relearning the piano in my spare time - I did some kind of grading when I was much younger but I truly cannot remember any of it outside of muscle memory for small ditties. So am going back to basics and learning to read it again, hoping it comes back nicely.

Also, planning for my Japan trip - my boss reminded me to check on my passport, I haven't flown in years, absolute years. Guess when my passport expired?

April. 2015.

Applied to have it renewed and haven't heard anything back outside of a confirmation that it was received so that's a good sign. Should get it before the end of the month with my now shaved head as the photo.

My plants are sprouting!!! Or they're weeds. Time will tell.
