Floaty Head Syndrome

So, last Sunday at 8.30pm, dear brother in law G, is changing spark plugs and informs me that I also have no water in my radiator, (it's a sealed unit so shouldn't need to be topped up, which means that there is a leak somewhere.)  At 9pm, after a test drive, I hit the shower and fall into bed totally exhausted.

I've ached for the rest of the week, mainly neck and shoulders which I think is from the tense drive home on Sunday.  I gave blood successfully on Thursday, I passed the first pin prick test, (first time in a good while,) the blood donation lady who should have seen to me, told me I was her fail!  Remember when she put the needle in wrong a couple of times ago and I had to go back?  Well, I remember it happening but I couldn't have told you who it was.  She informed me that; "you never forget a fail!"  So I tried to reassure her that I hadn't remembered and that she should definitely take my donation today.  But even with my most persuasive of skills and feigning nonchalance... she wouldn't do it, I feel like my veins must have really knocked her confidence.  I told her she should definitely do me next time.

Had "floaty head syndrome" for the remainder of the day, despite my thank-you-for-coming biscuits, half a packet of crisps, and a chocolate bar.  I had an early night and slept for 10 hours, bliss.  I got up and had toast and marmalade and jogged for 30 minutes, floaty head syndrome has passed.
