Still sick

[tinkpixie0621]

Went back to the doctor this morning...got different antibiotics and eardrops. Hopefully they will work this time. Dr. was even nice enough to give me her personal voice mail number in case I hadn't gotten any better in 14 days.

Being a singer and musician, and having stopped up ears is terrible. I spent the whole weekend at GARF in fear of being completely out of pitch with my bandmates. No one threw any rotten fruit, though, so I guess I was okay. Thank goodness for muscle memory! I'm hoping I can hear better for this coming weekend. C'mon, antibiotics, do your stuff!

Rivka and I will be doing the "Half Ale" thing this Saturday, so yamguitar can get to see elliedee graduate. Congratulations to elliedee, by the way, and to Rivka, both of whom get their masters' degrees this month. (yamguitar and I will be "Half Ale" on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.) Kudos to both of you for all your hard work and dedication.

Work is boring and very slow today. Yesterday, I finished the project I was working on (still need to email it to the appropriate people) detailing the percentage of the house that is full on a given night of the week. (Yeah, exciting...) I've also updated the mailing list. I suppose I can catch up on (personal) email now. Ugh. I'm just still all stuffed in the head and don't feel like doing much of anything.

In good news...NEW LOST TONIGHT! Yippie!

In other good news, captnsparrow has the possibility of getting a REALLY COOL gig doing the Jack Sparrow thing. *crosses fingers*

Thanks, sweetie. I figured SOMEONE would have said something if I had been really off-pitch or out of tune.

The funny thing is, I usually have a terribly stuffed up nose this time of year, but my sinuses are fine. It's my ears. The left one is completely clogged and the right is about half.

However, next time my nose is the clogged bit of my head, I will definitely try those bath salts. I hate that I have to go on antibiotics, but I know how my body works, and I know they're the best bet for kicking this crap out of my system.

I was just posting (because I zoned and forgot to say) that the salts also help with ear infections. I get them often (hence why I can no longer sing... my ears are too damaged and I swear I sound like a cat in heat when I sing above a whisper). Something about those salts helps unplug ear issues for me. But then again, I am just odd like that. ;)

Nothing wrong with antibiotics if they are going to kick the evil infections in the arse!

Hmmmm...I will have to try them then! :) There's a Harry's that's (sort of) on my way home...

Your sinuses are connected to your ears by way of a little tube that I can't rember the name of. It's designed to help keep equal air pressure in your ears and therfore keep your balance working right. I know this because when my allergies act up my sinuses get full And I basically go deaf. Might try something to decongest your head. better sooner than later, don't want to have the draining head all weekend.

And you sounded fine to me this weekend.

Hm. 'Sthat right? Now, I'm struck with the idea that the Eu... you-STAY-shun toob is some part of the female reproductive system, but I might be wrong... which means I'm right.

Thank god for all this education.
