As of last week my mom, born in 1955, has a drivers license! And after barely a year (that was riddled with tragedy/distress) of driving!

She'd been thinking about it for quite some time but it was the pressure from her boss that prompted it to actually happen [so quickly]. (Mom could only work day shifts because the evening shift required being able to drive out in the "countryside".) Poor thing had to start driving all alone the day after passing her drivers' test O.o;

Other than that, I've been struck with some kind of strange cold. Woke up one morning and my vision "blacked out" while it felt like I was tumbling/falling about, making me unsure of what was up and what was down >.>; Had another spell shortly after (during breakfast) and actually had to hold onto the kitchen table so as to not find myself on the floor >.>; A bit later on I went to lie down which resulted in another attack, albeit a very brief one.

Since then there have been [more or less] 'minor' instances where I've gotten dizzy, though not to the point of having "vision black out". Thankfully.

Can't remember having a cold that has affected my balance like this before :-/ But then again, my "regular" colds are rarely that *eye roll*
