I'm done with the ear antibiotics and my ear is back to normal. It will probably be another month or two before it starts itching, hurting, and smelling weird, but for now it's back to normal. On that, I'll take what I can get. I tried earplugs in the shower to keep the water out, but it doesn't work. Try shampooing long hair with stems sticking out of your ears. Those plugs pop right out.

My neck is slowly getting better. My shoulder also hurts now, but I think that's because I've been using those muscles to compensate for the lack of mobility in my neck. It's taking it's sweet time, but it's working itself out. Of course, it doesn't help that my epidural spot is flaring up while this is happening. (On occasion I get random shooting pains from the site of my epidural all the way up my spine. It feels like a knife is ripping right up the center of my back. I spoke with my OB about this back when it started happening. It's a rare side effect of having a needle in your spine. The only way to fix it is to inject something... I think it's your own marrow or blood... into that same site to try and seal it. I heal faster on the outside than I do on the inside which is why I have this and my adhsesions.) Lovely.

Allergy season is here and it looks like our apartment complex sprayed the lawn to make it nice and green. I wish they would have warned us because I would have gone to my Mom's house when they did it. Now I'm wheezing up a storm. Not only am I allergic to all the wonderful things of spring (hence my constant nose blowing and itchy puffy eyes) but I'm also allergic to lawn spray (hence the wheezing). Just stick me in a plastic bubble and be done with it.

Yes, I know I'm spending the vast majority of this entry bitching. I'm allowed. Nyah.

We were supposed to do a grocery store run today but that didn't happen. Gabriel was super fussy and I felt like hammered shit so we spent most of the day in and only ventured out to bring home something to eat. We watched The Amazing Race, bathed the Poopchuck, and then watched The Apprentice. We'll do the store run tomorrow along with getting my bar application notorized.

What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You

You are a very considerate person, but that doesn't mean you let people walk all over you. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You are a little shy and easily embarrassed. You often wonder if you are normal. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate.
