Anyone wondering where I've been...
On Saturday, just as I was getting ready to go to El's graduation (of course and fuck you very much, universe) I experienced a sudden increase in the pain in my left ear that made me want to stab my eardrum out. With the result that I couldn't sleep all Saturday night. I had six-thirty AM work on Sunday and an outing with my father afterwards. HAHAHAHAHA.
So essentially I've been hating life and wanting to kill myself. However, I have since been to see the doctor (not, alas, one of the ones in my icon) and gotten antibotics, and slept for a full night. Bonus points for Herndon Family Medicine, by the by; I called them at 8:10 AM and was provided with an appointment at 8:45. Antibotics were in my hands aby 10:30. Bless their efficient little souls.
I am now fully awake and alert, and the constant fuck-off pain has gone away, replaced by a dull ache and occasional stabbing pains when I manage to touch my ear wrong. I may or may not be on tonight, depending on pain levels, but I will be on tomorrow.
Love and apologies. For now, I am off to reacquaint myself with my childhood and possibly write a ficlet.
