If it's a baby...

I thought of that. I can't see it being filled out by someone who wasn't in a position to know (parent/guardian/health care provider) but that's the only possibility I could think of.

Our wings are not tired.

My hearing has been going (not volume, just articulation)and I've been feeling pressure in both of my ears for a while. I am positive that I have two softball-sized balls of wax in both of my ears, and have Buffistas to thank for this assumption. I FINALLY made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon to have the assumed softballs removed. It will be so lovely to hear again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I know this is not news to most people, but it is SO LOVELY to have a proper dinner! And tonight's was all leftovers/premade, so I didn't even have to do anything.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Suzi, speaking as a middle school teacher, what you did is def. NOT helicoptering. I had a parent last year who emailed me once a week for a grade/status update (our system was not online), and I didn't consider that helicoptering. Luckily, my new district has the kids' grades online, so the parents can check whenever.

Also, I prefer emails. It's really hard to get in touch with parents via phone and emails are much easier, I find.

Okay, so glad I'm not alone here. I have itchy ears just due to allergies and whatnot. Every single day, I think I'm pushing wax into my ears when I scratch and will need to have my ginormous ball o'wax removed soon.

That's what has happened to me, ChiKat. I am dreading the Q-tip conversation, but I want this shit OUT.

OK, my ears are itchy now having read this so I shall go dump my swimming cocktail in them!

Annual busiest day of the year at work is now finally complete 11 hours later--yay! Now I get to go home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm now wondering if I'm relatively deaf. I always have gobs of wax to get rid of. But I'm not a Q-Tip user. I've injured my ear canal before. It wasn't worth it.

At the pharmacy filling a million prescriptions on what is hopefully the last of my COBRA insurance. Switching onto a much cheaper but network-only one through my contracting company. I'm very nervous about the changeover mechanics. I don't want to be on the hook for any of my regular full expenses.

Oh! I forgot the best news of the day! My old landlord called to tell me he's putting my security deposit in the mail today! Man, I left that place trashed. But no actual damage caused by me, which I guess he counts as a win.
