Friday was spent, first, at the neurologist's office. 7:30 is a nice peaceful time, as there is nobody else around, and you get fast service, but not rushed. Nice chat with the doctor - basically he doesn't see this as a stroke or anything - no diminished motor functions on either side. What I called aphasia - the inability to place names with faces or titles with books - he diagnosed as short-term amnesia. Not usually a feature of panic attacks, so he sent me downstairs for a CAT scan. I think this makes my third in about 5 years...the first was for horrendous headaches that were mainly due to the crappy air quality here. Waiting for results on that, and an EEG is scheduled for Wednesday.
The rest of Friday was kind of nice, running around doing errands, getting the family ready for travel. They left this morning early (dropped off before 7am) for a double dose of time-change, both daylight savings plus a switch to Eastern from Central. I have spent the rest of the day planning my week's lessons, which is nice because 5 days of teaching (sans attacks, hopefully) and I am on my own Spring Break, plus making a HUGE pot of chili and watching NetFlix.
Big pet peeve of the day - watching a foreign film in a language with which I have some education. French to be precise, and it pisses me off to hear somebody say "troi" but see the subtitle say "two." Or ever worse, hear "merde" translated as "oh my god." Or the same greeting word translated as two different multi-word greetings when said, one after the other, by two different people.

When we were camping one year in northern VT and the rain drove us into a hotel, we got to watch Canadian TV, i.e. French Canadian. We were watching Seabiscuit while playing UNO on the floor. I just wanted to hear how they pronounced the horse's name. Was it Seebisqui? Then David suggested Croissant de la Mer. Silly people just said Seabiscuit like in English.
