I thought all my ear problems were finally behind me when they started reoccurring this week. It has really bummed me out. I thought that Clariton and/or Flonase was helping, but I had one day where nothing helped. So I took another Meclazine pill again, which I’m not sure if it helps or not. But it does make me drowsy and skittish. I hate taking it. Right now everything is ok and the beeping, when it occurs, seems to be lower in amplitude. So if it is something to do with my sinuses or allergies maybe that’s all subsiding. I am hopeful though! I have an audiologist appointment in a couple of weeks. That should tell me if there’s something wrong with my hearing functions or if it’s something else. If it’s something with my hearing, and irreparable, then I think I can manage it with cognitive behavioral therapy and/or meditation. I can most likely get around to ignoring the noise, just like I have no problem ignoring my “regular” tinnitus. If it’s something else then I’ll have to see an allergist or get a CT scan.

Otherwise, everything is good. The kids are doing well in cross-country, for the most part. I ordered a PRUSA MK4 3D Printer kit. That should be here in a month or so. It’s supposed to take two days to assemble. I don’t mind, they say that if you’re good with Legos then you can put this together. I’m anticipating having this thing up and running and then learning all the ins-and-outs of 3D printing. Maybe I can make a guitar or action figures, or maybe if I get really good with the slicing software I can create items for people around town.

Tomorrow is the Fall Fun Festival. I can’t wait to see Emma playing in the band. That’s always the highlight (for me) for any parade. Jack and Elsa will be in it too, for the cross country team. Maybe I’ll get some corn dogs. Maybe I’ll get a lemon shakeup. Maybe I’ll lose some weight. Maybe I’ll be just fine and dandy, Lord it’s like a hard candy Christmas.
