Ear Infection ... WHAT?!?

I seem to have an ear infection.  Sharp, stabbing pain in one ear.  I haven't had an ear infection since I CAN'T EVER REMEMBER an ear infection.  What is going on?  Most ear infections get better on their own, so I'm on the wait-and-see RX for now.

(I googled to see if the loud music from Soul Cycle could have ruptured something.  Nope.  Googling that made me feel VERY OLD and feel like a rather stupid nurse.  Guess the music wasn't THAT loud LOL.)

I haven't taken any NSAIDS for it either.  I'll see how it goes.  It hurts when I drink my warm drinks - go figure.  Iced coffee might be medically necessary today.

In other news ... I hate people.  I said it.  People are on my last nerve.  I'm working the turn arounds, accepting what is, trying not to have an emotional reaction ... yet, I'm still not a fan of many people today.  All week (with a huge pinnacle this weekend), people are asking things of me, standing me up for appointment times when I'm doing THEM a favor, acting like their life is the only life.  It's rude and frustrating.  I stood my ground, but stood my ground while being annoyed.  That's not good for ME.  (Even my hubby commented on people asking things of me -- how many times do you have to say no.)  Why is this lesson repeated so many times for me?  Maybe because I can't seem to manage standing up for myself without unnecessary emotion (frustration, guilt, annoyance).  I'm trying.

Fresh day, fresh week.  I'm putting it behind me.  Getting it out of my head.  Moving on with my big old to-do list this week.

If all goes well, by the end of this week, we should have a lot of things worked out for our move, our son's move and the house sale.

I didn't go to the meditation group and service on Sunday.  Did I mention I was going?  Maybe, not.  There's a Unity Church my girlfriend goes to occasionally.  They have a 45 minute meditation service followed by a non-denominational service on Sunday morning.  It's early and about a 45 minute drive.  We decided to go next weekend instead -- worked much better for me.  I'm excited to try both though.

Happy Monday.  We have the choice to make it good or not -- sometimes that doesn't seem true though.  I'm giving it an honest go at a good day -- despite people, despite my ear.  Cliff hanger hahahaha ... have a good one.  Later gators.
