Where nary a sense was made. A grubby ex-archaeology student, entrepreneur and pretender. Old enough to know better than to spend her days on social media, not busy enough to leave them behind. Looking to fill time and space with little bits of herself. And to become a conservator, obviously.

The other thing...

Is that I keep having things I call "funny turns" at work. Which is basically where one minute I'll be bustling round restocking, working the till, chatting with colleagues generally having a good time when all of a sudden I become aware of an unusual or particularly strong smell, and then my vision starts to go, and then my hearing, my balance, my ability to arrange thoughts and articulate sentences and then my consciousness.

It's happened three times. I went to the walk-in centre, apparently my blood sugar is okay and my blood pressure and heart rate too.

Whilst some people would find this reassuring, the fact still remains that I keep trancing out, so I was advised to go to the doctor's, which I can't until Thursday. And I'm scared that something's really wrong.

My colleagues didn't help me by clamouring about epilepsy and diabetes, but two of them have now said that it's like epilepsy, one saw it happen and both her cousin and brother have epilepsy so she looked almost as shaken up as me. And the other who I told about it said it sounds very like epilepsy, she would know too, her father has it.
