Forget It, I'm On Un-vacation...

It's been an interesting week.

Starting off, I had an ear infection that really pissed me the fuck off royally. (We're off to a good start with today's blog, aren't we?)

Since I'm poor and doctors cost money, I tried to do the best I could to stave off the eventual visit to my friendly health care professional. I tried cleansing my ears with OTC products, drinking lots of fluids and attempting to eat decently and finally resorted to letting my friend set my head on fire.

Yep, you read that right. Basically, you roll a few sheets of newspaper into a conical shape, stick the small end of the paper cone in your earhole and then you sets tha' other end on FIRES!

The basic principle is that the fire will suck air and waxy buildup out of your ear, since fire, by it's very nature, sucks. Believe it or not... It actually worked. For awhile. Yay, home remedies.

The dizziness abated and I was fine for a bit before it started coming back a few days later and I knew damned well I'd have to go to the doctor.

So, quite honestly, I wasn't a lot of fun for awhile. Hard time working, didn't feel like doing much around the house or online, so I think it could be said that I was a little crotchety.

Now, I'm back at work, feeling pretty much 98.6.

It's good to have you back again...
