Ears! They’re plugged again. Something that happens to me two or three times a year. I went to the doctor and she tried to unplug them yesterday but after shooting six syringes of water in there and nothing budging, she gave up and sent me home to put Olive oil in them a couple of times a day.
On Friday, by which time I should have enough oil in there to cook an order of fries, I am to go back and she will try to flush them out again. It’s funny how you never think about a part of your body until it hurts or doesn’t function properly, and then it becomes the focal point of your attention.
The other problem with my ears is that I don’t hear very well even when they’re not plugged. I’ve been like that for a long time now. I’m quite sure it has to do with years of farming and being in and around loud machinery for hours on end. In any case, I know my hearing is damaged to some extent and I’ve decided to find out just how bad it is and if anything can be done about it. Good ears are rather important instruments to have in a counselling profession. It’s hard to practice good listening skills without them.
Not much else is new around here except that when I look out the window
from where I sit at my computer, I feel like I’m sitting in an igloo. A little bit more snow keeps coming down everyday, we keep shoveling, and the banks keep getting higher and higher especially where the grader came and pushed the snow. Our “for sale” sign looks a little stupid with only the tip of it sticking out of the snow bank. I get the feeling it’s standing on its tip toe and screaming. “Look at me, look at me!”Writefully Yours

Wow! What's with all the snow? I guess there would be little point in going there to escape winter.
That's right. Winter is here too. Not as cold as Alberta mind you but winter nontheless. But then it doesn't last as long as an Alberta winter either. I was hoping I wouldn't have to shovel the drive this winter. Oh well, ces't la vie!
