Best laid plans, and not so best laid, tend to get mired in mucky, yucky stuff at the most inopportune times. Yeah, I was supposed to post again Saturday night but I ended up falling asleep right after I posted the Friday Five which also mean I missed all my movies that I had planned to watch that night. Don’t be discouraged, the same thing happened Sunday night… and I was gonna have debauchery-type sex too. I can blame it on the medication my ENT specialist gave me.

Yes, I went to an ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat) specialist last week as per the pain of death order from my general physician. It seems I have the stuff that was fixed again, stuff like icky drainage, swollen membranes, scar tissue, and such that caused my problems earlier in life. And to top it all off, my tubes are still in my ear. I could have sworn they fell out, but the tubes have set up permanent residence on my ear drums… well one of them has, the other is INSIDE my ear drum. So the well meaning doctor gave me stuff to get the swelling down in my ears, but neglected to tell me that the minute the liquid hits my ears that I get the sensation of REALLY HOT NEEDLES BORING INTO MY SENSITIVE EARS. Twice daily! And then some more steroids, and some more drugs and I have to shoot salt water up my nose.

Can you understand why I am nor real happy at the moment. Being a zombie with hot needles driving into my head twice a day is not my idea of a good time.

Maybe if I look at this pretty young woman I can forget my woes.
