something I'd rather not repeat

musings1931I went to the doctor a week or so ago, and my doctor had said there was wax in my ear. She cleaned out some of it with a scoop, but she didn't irrigate it. I don't know why but...
Fast forward to the beginning of this week. I kept waking up with my ear feeling clogged. So, I started using the ear wax softening kit. After the recommended four days, I decided to finish the job and irrigate my own ear. This ended quite badly. Long story short, I spent two days as someone blind and only having one functional ear. Not good!
I finally bit the bullet and since I had today off I went to urgent care. Good news, the problem is fixed and it was in fact only wax build up. Bad news? I have never had my ears irrigated and lord have mercy after today I'd rather not again if I can help it! That process is in no way pleasant! I'm happy to be able to hear again, but water being shot into my ear over and over until it drained clear was not fun at all, never mind it made me a little dizzy.
Add the cluster of a Lyft ride... I was so happy to be home. The long and short of the Lyft ride... the idiot driver picked up the wrong people, then wouldn't cancel the ride, but finally he did come back to get me, after I explained to him he should use his GPS to put in my address to find me. Ugh, I am all for people coming to this country to make things happen for themselves, but when they barely have command of the English language and they are serving the general public it does make things challenging to say the least. At least the Starbucks I stopped for on the way home was good.
That's really all that's been happening lately. Otherwise, it's business as usual... work and whatever else I do with my evenings.
