- Obsessing over: Another ear infection. Yup. Obsessing is actually the most polite word that I can use – so kiddies cover your eyes. I am so damn pissed off. I’m deaf in my right ear! I am trying to religiously stick to the 4 times a day ear drops that the doctor prescribed me. But still …. this is the second one this year and I’m just so damn frustrated that I can barely hold back the expletives. Aside from the hearing thing, my balance is a bit screwy, there’s a slight ringing/fuzzy noise and a dull ache. And to top of all the whinging I have just done, I have a wee cold. I’m trying very hard to be happy right now but its hard. Perhaps I should alter my obsession from being a bit sick to trying to make myself a bit more happy.
- Working on: Job satisfaction – I really don’t think that I have the smarts to battle with trying to do this new job any longer. Most days I come home feeling defeated and I hate that. I also hate the thought that work is paying me to do a job that I am not really doing. I’ve been thinking over my options (using these past few days off as best as I can) and I think that I might have a resolution. We’ll see how we get on this week.
- Thinking about: Cleaning my house. On a whim, I bought (on trial) a Shark Steam Pocket cleaner – as seen on TV. I had a go at a few things with it this morning – once I feel a little bit better, I’m going to go all Bruce Willis on the shower glass and the bathroom and everything with it. STEAM CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!
- Anticipating: Everything! It feels like there are a few things that I am waiting for right now. See above.
- Listening to: Alabama Shakes – “Boys & Girls”. A recent purchase from iTunes and a sound that I am loving – especially for driving.
- Drinking: A pot of Vanilla Roobois tea. It is that kind of Sunday. I’ve just changed in to my super comfortable ginormous boy style Barkers track pants. And a comfortable cardigan.
- Wishing: I’m wishing that my boyfriend didn’t have to go home today. Or any day. Even though I am a super grumpy tart, he’s not only put up with me for the last few days, but he has tried to make me feel better and looked after me. He’s changed the high light bulbs that I can’t reach and made sure the ear drops go in. And I’ve just been grumpy. I feel rotten about that! All this post has really told me is that I need to lose the feral mindset and shake it up a bit. And that it is ear drops time.
Hang in there Tara – can hear the frustration! Be kind to you and it will all work out for the best x
Thanks Jo!
I can hear (read) myself sounding like a moaning Minnie too. It might be time for a wine time instead of tea time 🙂
