Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis
It's confirmed.  I have it.  I call it "Dizzy on the Fringes".  My friend tells me that's a great name for a rock band.  So what is it?  It's an infection of the labyrinth portion of the inner ear, the area that affects balance.  At first it was terrible.  I felt like I was seasick all the time.  Now, I only experience it when I look up.  It's like having the bed spins without experiencing the "fun" of getting them.  Now I have to go for "vestibular therapy".  It's like physical therapy for the ear.  Who knew?  It could last weeks or months.  I'm curious as to how I will respond to roller coasters.  We've promised the kids all winter that we'd take them to Great Adventure.  Yikes.  Maybe the coasters will make me feel normal:-)?

Web 2.0 doesn't care about my affliction.  So I must press on.  I made a Google Site for our district summer reading program.  It's getting posted in June.  Hopefully students will use it to choose books.  I thought I was done but I keep going back to it to tweak it.  I will post it soon.

I found a fun site called Blabberize.  You upload a picture and make it talk.  It's like a primitive version of those commercials where the babies talk about eTrade.  Students can create Blabbers for presentations.
