1. I had a substitute teacher named Mrs. Whitehead once, and I couldn’t stand her because I thought her name was gross.
2. In Preschool, I got my cousin in trouble by talking to him while we were in time out. He told me to be quiet, and the teacher made him stay longer for talking. I never said anything.
3. I criticize people before I listen to what they have to say.
4. Sometimes when I’m on the phone with people, if they’re telling me a boring story, I set the phone down and wait for them to stop talking.
5. Late at night, if I wake up, I have to turn on a light before I can put my feet on the ground. Still. At nearly twenty-one.

Well, I heard back from the Neurologist today.
Here’s the good news: no tumors, no aneurysm, no signs of stroke.
All Clear, right?
Well, here’s the less good news: I have a Chiari Malformation. Basically, I’m so smart that my cerebrum has begun pushing the cerebellum out the bottom of my skull, and into my spinal canal.
Now, in all honesty, it all sounds worse than it is. I mean, it can be bad, of course, but mine seems to be mild, but I still have to go see a neurosurgeon.
It would be all better, of course, if there were no problems, BUT, there are many far worse things that could be going on.
More news in this regard after I talk with the neurosurgeon, and get some details on possible treatment, etc.
