An Adventure in a Bathroom

Last night was suppose to be a fun night, going out to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant then going drinking/dancing at a club in a near by casino for a co-workers, girlfriends b-day. So Justin and I got all gussied up and met everybody at the restaurant. This place was amazing, it's set on a hillside overlooking The Strip and the rest of Las Vegas oh it was beautiful. The food was good, and we had a good time talking with everyone there. Our plates were taken away and people started ordering coffee to get some energy for the coming partying. I on the other hand, started feeling really strange, like I was going to throw up. So I told Justin that I was going to the restroom. I went into the handicap stall, and was glad that no one else was inthere just in case I did throw up. I got really chilly and sweaty, and I leaned against the wall. All of a sudden, I find myself lying on the floor....I wondered why I was on the floor but just kinda stayed there for a moment then hauled myself up and it finally dawned on me...I had just fainted. So I got myself back to the table, and told Justin that we had to leave. We paid our part and left, with my head throbbing because I must have knocked my head on the tile floor, one knee was also really hurting I had managed to skin it somehow in the fall. Ugh, thankfully I fainted away from the toilet and had not knocked my head onto that.
So now I have a skinned knee, and the right side of my neck is really sore. I know why I fainted, I'm hypoglycemic, which is basically the opposite of a diabetic. Instead of not making enough insulin, I make too much and when there is not enough sugar in my body for the insulin my blood pressure plummets and I faint. Hurray.
So I think I'm going to have to find a doctor to talk to about this and maybe talk to a dietian so I know which foods to eat to keep this under control. This is the second time I've fainted, the first time was in Barnes&Noble infront of lots of people. Well, my neck hurts. I'm going to bed.

Camping Weekend

This weekend, Justin and I went camping with a bunch of people from work camping in Utah. We rode in co-workers, Rick's mom's RV. The ride was suppose to be about 3.5 hours, and counting us there were 7 ppl in the RV, one of which was five year old Reanna. Driving behind us was a couple, Lance and Leslie. About two hours into the ride, both of the rear passenger side tires blew. Rick called up the nearest town and talked to a tire shop, and they said they would get there eventually. Eventually, ended up being about 2 hours later, Lance and Leslie left long ago to continue on to the campsite to find the rest of the group and secure spots for us. So the tire guy came and had both tires replaced in about 45 min. and by this time it was dark. So we with the tires finally fixed we continued on. All this time, Reanna the five year old, is bouncing about on a sugar high, her mom keeps feeding it to her hoping for the sugar crash sleep. We finally pull into the camp site at midnight, and everyone is up waiting for us and drinking. The group had found a tent spot for Justin and I, so at least we didn't have to search for a flat spot in the dark..that is not easy. Thankfully, Justin and I are now pros at putting up our tent in dark and had it up and all our stuff in it in no time. We stayed up for a bit chatting with the group but the long day wiped us out so we turned in.
I didn't realize how high in the mountains we were so we didn't pack really warm, but we made it though the night without too much misery. The next day (Saturday) was awesome. Most of the group brought their mountain bikes so they took off early and went riding, Reanna and her mom went to Grandma's cause they lived really close so at the campsite was just Justin and I. We walked to the general store and Justin bought a day's fishing license. We were going to hike on this trail that goes all around the nearby lake, but found out that a huge part of the trail was underwater due to the large amounts of snow they received this winter. So we headed back to camp and Justin fished and I napped and relaxed. The biking group got back around 2, and banged and bruised because the trail they went on was harder than they thought. Some went fishing but most stayed back and starting having beers. Dinner was amazing, we had grilled chicken, salmon, pork, baked potatoes and white and yellow corn. Yum. Everyone stayed up late drinking and BSing.
Today (Sunday) we had a great breakfast of scambled eggs and bacon, everyone helped clean up and we took off. The ride home was thankfully uneventful. Reanna was getting really annoying but thankfully her mom was able to keep her occupied in the back of the RV with a movie.

In other news, I'm impatiently waiting for Season 1 of Lost to come outon DVD. I think it's around Sept. 6ish. I'm also waiting for the Lost season to start up. I'm on the mailing list for Lost, and they e-mailed out the first three episode names I remember the first one is, Man of Faith, Man of Science. Which I can only assume is Locke and Jack. There was a blurb about Lost in People and it said that the first episode they go into the shaft and the third episode reveals I think why it is there.

Well that's it for now, I swear I'll try to get posting more.

So Sorry

This will be short, as I am at work right now, but Justin and I are going camping with abunch of ppl from work this weekend, so by Sunday I will have something interesting to write about. Hope everyone is doing well, and hopefully I'll have the energy to write on Sunday. Later!
