The tyranny of my plugged-up ear

I’m at home from the office today, much more healthy than yesterday, but still coughing and feeling more or less gross. It doesn’t help that my left ear is having difficulty hearing because of some fluid that I’d rather not think about. I’m able to hear clearly and relieve the pressure on my sinuses when […]

At home. Guess I’m gonna blog.

Hey. Remember me? Didn’t think so. I’ve been around for a bit, but I haven’t been writing. “And why not?” you’re not asking. Well, it’s because I wasn’t really proud of myself. The things I wrote and read back to myself were things I didn’t want to face. I was working a job that didn’t […]
