My ears have PMS

Remember how my ears were clogged? I haven't brought it up again because I feel whiny when I do and the truth is that it is exponentially better than it was when it all started. My right is all cleared up and my left is just sort of stuffy. I can pop both of them and I don't have trouble hearing anymore. You all sound normal again when before you all sounded like dolphins who magically learned English.

So, while my hearing has improved and the dizziness has gone away and the total despair that it would never ever in a million years go away and my fear of it being a freakish ear tumor that would eventually kill me have all but vanished, I still have a slight discomfort in the left ear. Like tube socks are stuffed in there.

Do you know what I just discovered eases that? Midol. Apparently my ears have just been bloated. I wonder if a pan of my PMS brownies and a Beaches/Steel Magnolias double feature would clear them up all together.

I think you should definetely make the Brownies - they cure EVERYTHING!

I just made the brownies twice, and my ears have felt fantastic since then. Plus, do you really need an excuse? They're FANTASTIC!!!

I'm recovering from a migraine, so I don't particularly WANT my ears to work...but what I DO have that is helpful is MY VERY OWN MR T. BOOKMARK RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME!!!!

That's right, it arrived in the mail all cute and happy and smiley. He's perfection. My only problem is which book to put him in. He's adorable. I would love to own a set of felt B-list celebrity book marks. I'm still pulling for Einstein (because of his hair).

Much love to you and your ears.

You could never be too whiny. You are too hilarious. It just makes you hysterical that you make whiny hilarious. How do you do that?!

Ha ha ha, Bill Cosby used to take Midol ;)


(Actually, it's just Tylenol and Caffeine in a single pill)

I'm here from Teachinfourth's blog. I'll have to try the Midol next time my ears are clogged.

It's got to be the diuretic in Midol that cleans out the water, right? And if you didn't know, Midol PMS is the same as regular Midol without the caffeine. I love it because caffeine makes me crazy.
