Setback

It's been a pretty good while since I've paid attention to this blog. Could be because I've been very busy: New job, moving into a new house, etc.

Probably the real reason is my ears have been okay for the last couple of years. Not anymore - and here I am, blogging again.

How goofy is this: Last week I was at a meeting at a friends house. A woman came over who's afraid of cats. A kitty appeared as she walked in. The woman shrieked loud enough to trigger a full-blown acute episode with my ears. First came the pain, then loud unrelenting hissing. Soon after the aformentioned, depression set in.

I spent a gloomy weekend gobbling Picamilon, beet juice, and Huperzine A. By Monday, today, when I arrived at work things seemed to have calmed down, with less damage than I feared.

Around noon, however, I had to go see a witness. (I'm a criminal investigator.) While at a rathole apartment complex, I found myself next to a woman who was shouting at somebody. Now my ears hurt again and obviously I have to wear earplugs all the freaking time.
