It's me, Charity

 Monday started off with fan life. With having a wall unit in my kitchen while my central air is broken, I have to have multiple fans in the house to circulate the air.  Sporting one of my new garage sale shirts.   Wednesday I was up super early to go to my ENT for my one month check up for my right ear tube removal. Several days before that my left ear felt weird, and then I heard strange noises, that were pretty close to the noises that happened when my other ear tube came out. Sure enough, the left ear tube was half out. but it was STUCK. and sweet mercy the pain when he pulled it out! He attempted it over 5 times and I was close to crying. Sweet mercy IT HURT.  So much at the end he asked me if I was going to be Ok. HA! I lived, but barely. Thankfully it was just a little sore that day and by the following day I had no pain, and so far no infection! YAY!  By Thursday I was tired. Story of my life! Comfy clothes for the win, capri leggings...

 I Have no Memory of what happened Monday, but apparently I was happy and having a good hair day!  Over the weekend I had painted a wood frame to match the colors of my gallery wall. One of my favorite pictures of Apes and I at her wedding!  Tuesday I was NOT THRILLED to be up super early for my ENT apt. But I will say my hair was looking really good! I knew I wasn't going to have a lot of time, so I straightened it the night before to save time on washing, drying and styling the next morning. It worked!  I look way more awake than I felt at that point.  I had to wait in the waiting room for a bit and then in the exam room, and I don't know what my BP was but I'm sure it was WAY up there. I was SO nervous! I thought for sure that my left ear tube was out of my ear drum and that my Dr would take it out and put a new one in. I had tried to mentally prepare myself for the horrible pain of the burning acid numbing drops. but much to my shock my Dr...

Monday was my first Monday working since I got sick with the ear mess. I had to drink coffee at my break around 3:30 because I was SO.TIRED. I barely made it thru the day awake and by the time the last student left at 7:30 I collapsed on the couch and pretty much didn't move the rest of the evening! Tuesday was my day to go visit my friends at the nursing home.. I wore a sleeveless top and knee length skirt and sandals, and packed a fan just in case. But when I made my way to the 100 Wing I was pleasantly shocked to find... AIR CONDIDTIONING! Y'all I can't tell you how excited I was! It's usually super hot in there, since the bay window area isn't used all day and the residents are colder natured, so to feel that AC on full blast was amazing! Especially since I still had a fever from my ear ( Don't worry, not anything I could pass on to the residents, unless they were inside my ear with my ear tube ;) ) I took this at the end, and one lady...

 Wellllll...... another less than stellar week to recap!  Last week I was still very sick with my ear. I took Monday off of work and spent it on the couch, half deaf, alertnating between hot and cold. I have been running a low grade fever now for 13 days. Yes, as I write this on the 27'th I am STILL sick. thankfully less sick than I was, but still. No pictures from Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I was back to work, still half deaf. I went to my Dr's that afternoon, and he confirmed that I needed to see my ENT asap. My Swimmer's Ear was better, but now my ear drum is super red. He attempted to call my ENT and they were closed for the day. I had been calling since MONDAY and never got a live person or a return call. Finally, on FRIDAY, I found out they were on vacation. Way to have a vacation voicemail...... I was very frustrated at that point.  After seeing Dr C, coming home and teaching another lesson, I went to go pick up my new antibiotic and ear drops antibiotic/...
