I Don't Do Sick Well

I've been sick since the last week of November. Here's the current rundown:

Vertigo - 2 weeks
Beginning to recover - 1 week
Flu - 1 week
Cough - 1 week
Cough with ear ache - 1 week

My latest problem has been with my ears. While I don't mind the cough ... and it's almost gone ... my ears are annoying the hell out of me. My left ear stays clogged up. I can feel the pressure in my ear, and I can hardly hear anything out of it.

Now, on Christmas night, my other ear starts to hurt. It's being progressive ... starting to hurt a little more as each hour passes. I've taken some medicine for the pain, but my real worry is that my right ear will clog too. I can barely hear as it is, I can't even imagine what I'm going to do if both ears are clogged up and I can't hear shit.

Amanda and I spent Christmas day cleaning up the apartment. Damn did it need it, but boy does it look good now. Amanda put out some of her Christmas candles (they were parts of her gifts from family this year) and I hung up the pictures that mom gave me of the family. The pictures are the only thing that I really requested for Christmas this year, as I have NEVER had any family photos to hang up. Mom definately came through on that one.

While a vast majority of the pictures are scanned and printed, some are originals ... which is nice. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the scanned copies, they look pretty nice, but there's just something about having an original copy of a picture. My favorite ones are of Prissy. I tend to forget how she looked from time to time, and I need a reminder. Now I have two really good pictures of her ... one hanging on my wall and the other in a frame on my desk.

I think the only remaining picture that I need to get is some of Amanda and myself. We only have ONE professionally done picture of ourselves together, and that was taken at a Christmas party 4 years ago. Taken after we just met ... when we were both much thinner than we are today, lol. I'd love to have a picture of us that's really recent. Maybe that can be a birthday present or something.

Speaking of presents, I am really diggin three of my Christmas presents (besides the pictures of course). My DVD/MP3 player is just too damn cool. I hooked it up to the TV earlier today and we watched half of Scary Movie 2 before we started cleaning. The other two presents that I'm diggin are my two new BNL CD's. Amanda got me the "Their Greatest Hits" and "Everything to Everyone". I ripped them to my computer first thing this morning and then burned all of my BNL MP3's to a CD. When we started cleaning, I put the CD in the DVD/MP3 player and started cleaning while listening to BNL.

I got some damn cool Christmas presents this year.
