[samedietc]

I was recently told that some of my posts are gnomic, which is true, so here I'm giving you some straight talk

I would have appreciated a gnomic ear-infection post, just for the experience.

i hope your ear infection is feeling better.

i want to make some sort of "my ear infection is fine, it's my ear that's feeling sick" joke, but I don't have the energy. i'm okay -- cold still around (oddly), ear still a little wonky (though I can hear and have no balance issues), and antibiotics killing all the useful bacteria in my gastro-intestinal tract (as usual). sick, tired, but taking care of myself and trying to get back into life a bit.
