Could my eat get better now? Well, it is better, so I guess what I want is for it to be completely healed and not driving me insane. It’s been getting a bit better every day, but it’s still not right and while it didn’t cause me much pain when it was all goopy, infected, and disgusting, now that it’s on the mend, it hurts like hell. The last few spots where the ear canal is swollen will –for no apparent reason– suddenly spike a sharp pain at me that feels as I imagine an ice pick to the ear would feel like. My head also randomly feels like it’s going to explode. Not fun at all. Nothing to do but wait for it to heal up, but still … it’s so freaking aggravating.

Also, could it not snow and freeze while I am out of town this weekend trying to have a good time? Yeah, that would be great. In fact, it would be great if it didn’t snow or freeze at all this week. Or ever. I live in Texas for heaven’s sake! It’s not supposed to be like this so early in the fall/winter season. I’ll be bringing the tomatoes in tonight, but I don’t know what to do about the plants in the garden. I suppose I will try to figure out some way to cover them on the night it’s supposed to be most foul, but chances are high they will be totally on their own. I don’t want to be out in this muck, and I’m not all that attached to the garden at the moment. What will really suck is if it insists on being this nasty when I have to drive, and I do have to go this weekend seeing as I have a dentist appointment while I am over there at Mom’s. Ugh.

And now, I have to go out into the muck. I went to Walgreen’s yesterday to buy some cat food to hold the beasts over until the weekend –forgetting I wasn’t going to be here this weekend– and they don’t want to eat it. So I have to get something from the grocery store I know they will eat, because I am not going all the way to the feed store today (or even tomorrow or the next day). We are also about to be out of Dr Pepper, and Lin hasn’t had a can of pepper to pour all over his dinner in over a week (or homemade cookies either). Everyone is getting grumpy about something. I at least have to go get those few things we need in the house to keep the peace … and some insta-food for tonight, because I don’t feel like cooking while my head feels like it’s exploding. Going to the store today is going to suck. I’ve waited for it to get as warm as it is likely to get, and well, it’s just not that warm. Brrrrr.

Enough complaining, huh? Guess I better go do those things I have to do so I can put on my most comfortable and warm around-the-house clothing and curl up somewhere under a heating vent with the cats for the rest of the afternoon. I hate cold and wet weather.

Reminder to self: Close storm windows in living room and bedroom.
