My ear is slowly but surely getting better. The drops are working. The pain is a lot less today and so is the itching. Unfortunately the swelling is still there and it's hard to hear out of that ear.

Remember the headache I got last Thursday? I still have it. It's a lot better and very tolerable, but still, I've had this damn headache for 5 days now! Enough already!

I'm having some tummy problems as well, but going into detail about them will push this entry way into the TMI category. I think it stems from my Chinese dinner.

Today I spent a good chunk of the afternoon at the laundromat. Our washer and dryer are still in working order, but I needed to wash our quilt and mattress pad. It doesn't tend to work in our small machines, so we all headed to the laundromat. Got both washed up and dried and now they're all spiffy clean. It took about two hours in total. Gabriel slept for most of the time there and Rob ran out to grab sandwiches for lunch from a place down the road. Gabriel woke up towards the end and ran all over the place.

We then headed home briefly to drop off the laundry and then headed right back out. We made a stop off at Ulta and then grabbed some Chinese food for dinner and headed back home. Something about that dinner is just not sitting right with me.

Tonight we watched House, I washed up the sheets, we did a very small amount of gaming, and Rob gave the Poopchuck a bath.

By the way, if you haven't found it yet I have an Xmas tree on my main page with all the other graphics (above the Gabriel ticker and the ever changing odd picture). You can even leave cyber presents there.

What The Holidays Mean to You

For you, the holidays are about emotional connections and bonds. You are happiest being around those you love. You celebrate the holidays in an over the top style. If something is cute, you'll buy it. People end up with a lot of gifts from you - and your house is like a holiday wonderland, full of decorations. During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in. You think the holidays should be energetic and packed with activities. You'll double up on caffeine and sugar if that's what it takes to get you through them. Your best holiday memories are warm and intimate. You remember special moments more than gifts or parties.
