Last night my right ear started hurting something terrible. It was already itching on Saturday but come Sunday afternoon, the pain became just unbearable. There was little I could do about it considering I wouldn’t be home until late that night so I just had to grin and bear it. I think the pain came from all the nose blowing I’d been doing over the past few days. Towards the end, I could feel and hear my eardrums poping and blowing out from the nose blowing. I think that started an infection or something so it’s off to the doctor on Monday morning. I think this is a record for me of missed days at work. I’ll be pretty surprised if I don’t have a talking to when I get in.
On a positive note, a lot of the pain and pressure of the past few days has subsided a little so at least life is worth bearing now. I also managed to get a few hours of work done on the side so I’ve managed to make a little bit of money while being out of my main job!
Got to watch the debates completely (while being in utter illness myself). I’ll admit I was pretty surprised to see a fairly small amout of political rehtoric and BS answers coming out both their mouths. Instead, I saw a pretty clear answer to where each person stands (at least regarding Iraq). That I think made for a fairly positive debate (which I just wasn’t expecting from either side). As several reporters have put it, it’s not that one side won over the other as much as the VOTERS won in that first debate. Now I get to wait and see what the next few debates do…
