I feel weird

I woke up this morning about 45 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off, rolled over, and made note of the fact that it felt like I was rolling further than I actually was. When I got up to get dressed I felt dizzy and stumbled around a bit, more than my usual wake-up clumsiness.

Now I'm sitting in my chair at work, it feels like part of my hair is pulled back in a ponytail and it ISN'T, my head hurts despite the fact that I took ibuprofin an hour and ten minutes ago, and my head feels unbalanced, like I'm tilting it to the side when I'm not. Or maybe I am and not noticing. When I DO move it, like to bend over to grab something out of my bag and then sit up, I feel dizzy.

WTF?

The "unbalanced" feeling I'm willing to blame on sleeping wrong; I'm relatively sure that's just my neck going slightly bonkers. But dizziness?

ETA: Am now eating some peanut M&M's. Feeling moderately better, though my neck is still out of whack and I really just want to go home and go back to bed.

Just got my first check with all my deductions. Insurance $41 and change as planned, 401(k) deductions not quite $20 (they took 3% of my bonus money, too! >_<).

Frightening. 3% of my income for two weeks won't even buy dinner for two at the Steak House.

Paid off my credit card balance, yay! Will be able to put plane ticket on there tonight. ^_^

My savings account has managed to earn an entire SIXTY-EIGHT CENTS. WEWT WEWT. (I was looking at it wrong, they won't PAY it until the end of the month, the main account page shows only the penny I earned last month. XD)

The other awesome thing is that I can check all this, and balance my checkbook, online. During my lunch hour if I so desire. XD

Oh, and even after I pay my two bills that come out of this check ('net and electric) I'm still going to have a decently-sized chunk of change to mess with and STILL have my "float" in the bank. YAY. If I don't go crazy and spend out of my norm, I should be doing fine for Christmas presents and spending money for Canada (is it sad that I'm excited that the American dollar now sucks compared to the Canadian dollar? ...or wait, is it the other way around? Is that to my disadvantage? I don't remember!). Working that extra half-hour every day is really paying off.

In other news, when I got home yesterday, Nico's lease at Creekside was laying on the counter. ^_^ It won't be ready until at least Monday, so we're kind of not saying anything to the landlady and hoping we can make 14 days into 17ish without getting caught. Nico's kind of always hanging out at my place anyway, so the presence of his car is nothing to go by. XD

He just called me a few minutes ago from his brand new cell phone. ^_^ Yay yay yay.

I think Nico is right; this is the season of moving up and bettering ourselves all the way around.


ETA: Just realized that this means I will have enough money to get my hair dyed. YAY.

And I still need to post Halloween pics. >_<
