More miles, and a little surprise


1,693 miles so far. At least I did something today. I sure did not feel like it.
Changing the subject, I have had this trouble with my ear, and I've been losing my hearing steadily for a couple weeks. Felt like an earplug got stuck in there. I even checked the earbuds on my ipod, but they are all accounted for. So today, I started getting an earache and headneck, as Carter would say. Even nauseated. Went to the doctor and he checked and found this:

I know. It's not a very good picture but, trust me, it's good enough. It's my very first earwax plug. Filled my entire ear canal to the drum. The nurse took this nifty water pic and with hot water and hydrogen peroxide, loosened it up and out it popped. Feels wonderful. I can hear, again. Now I have to respond to Cindy and my boss. Dang!

In the Shrek movies, Shrek would take the ear wax out of his ear and use as candles. If they cast for real life movie of Shrek I think you qualify.
