I must have cleared too hard because when I laid down to sleep, an excruciating earache began and try as I might, I could not sleep as my right inner-ear throbbed. After about an hour, I got up and started home remedies. The rubbing alcohol in the ear is one I used frequently as a kid when I lived in the pool during those hot West Texas summers, but it didn’t help at and I smelled like a sanitized laboratory tool . A spot of vinegar made a tremendous difference…until I was lying down again. The earache resumed, yet at some point I fell asleep.
The morning brought much-less painful earache (win) a tasty banana for an “easy, immediate” breakfast (wan) and “Tulsa Yesterday” floating through the house (won) so that’s a win
-wan-won which makes for a pretty kickass Tuesday-start, if I do say so myself, which I just did. The kids did no-packing prep and are off to dad’s for a few days, so somehow I’ll have to gather stuff for them <inner-control freak rejoice!)
I headed to work where…one client cancelled, 2 other clients thought their appointment is tomorrow – when I’m at a different location, and the 4th client really needed to get back to his video game after a 15 minute check in – so there goes that. Sighhh…so this is what they meant by productivity drops during summer. I did get the opportunity to sing the Europe hit song “Carrie” to (oddly enough) Carrie, so that was a plus.
Nothing more for me to do, so I headed to get my car smogged…and something happened. There were looks (not from me), there was flirting (not from me), there were words said (not from me) and there was a business card given to me. And there were all these men (who worked here) standing around me and I felt…well…kinda good. It was certainly “attention” and I picked up on it this time. Nope, not gonna call, because…well…because, but the attention sure is nice once in a while.
Off to the store to get a few things now rather than wait til Friday when I should be packing. I’m not sure how I’m going to get food packed for HSMF since I’ll be gone, but maybe I can leave a list for my mil? We’ll see. Home, were my friend helped me set up my new modem for my computer – the extender has been a pain in the ass, so that is unhooked now and the TP-Link 7.0 is hooked up. Now I hope for a little less computer-frustration, but seriously – it’s me we are talking about – the black-hole of technology skill.
Picture: I know it’s hard to see, but in the center of the railroad track is the word “OK”. We will be.
