The Gift of Hearing

That's what I need. I need to be able to hear! Oye! It's been SUCH a long few days that I can't even stand it. On Friday Alyssa had a pool party and I was in there ALL DAY. Then my ear plugged up and I thought nothing of it because it happens all the time. Bad choice. It is now TUESDAY and it's still plugged and it hurts! I bought all this stuff to unplug it and nothing has worked. My roomie Kassi told me that it should just go away on it's own, but most people are telling me to go to the doctor. The problem with the doctor is that it's EXPENSIVE when you don't have health insurance. And then there's the minute clinic but that's $54!! And when you have a lot of bills due this week, that's not going to happen. I think the system is screwed up. How can it be that I'm working and I have no insurance? I can see why so many people get sick and let it get so far. And I can see why people get angry. Who wouldn't be! Things happen and you want insurance for it. At the same time I've put TONS of money in from having health insurance and NEVER using it... why can't I have like back pay??? None of it makes sense to me. Probably why I don't have a government job. So for now... I'm deaf and in pain in my right ear. Grumbles....

AND today was supposed to be my adventure day with Seward (aka mini golfing) but it is raining and now it won't work. I can't think of any fun cheap ideas except for $1 theater. So maybe that. But I dunno. I had such big plans for being outdoors today!

Apparently it's my crabby blog day. hmmmm let's see if we can fix that. Justin comes home tomorrow from his trip to Colorado! I probably won't get to hang out with him cuz he'll get home super late, BUT... it's still exciting. :) Smiles all around on that topic. Oh yes, and MARLISE is in town again! Huzzah!!! She hasn't been up in a very long time so I'm pretty pumped. It's a little difficult because I have a lot of work and a lot of other plans to work around, but I'm sure it'll be fine. She's pretty flexible.

Kara has her housewarming party on Friday. Should be fun. Everyone should come! I don't even know WHO reads this, but come anyway. Bring a present. It'll be good.

Any big thought's I've had lately? Hmmmm..... just about John the Baptist. I've been watching Marc Driscoll a lot lately, and I'm currently downloading some sermons from David Johnson and Steve Wiens. I just love listening and learning from these guys. And since I don't make it to church a lot (which I need to do) I figured I can at least listen to it on my own time. So yah! It's good.

Alright, I better go. I have a full day ahead of me. Bye friends!
