Earful of somethin'

Well now that my readership has pretty much dwindled down to nothin' I figure I can just ramble again. I've never done well with lots of pressure or livin' up to someone else's expectations an' all that. This morning I'm thinkin' 'bout ears.

I was planning to start doing the treadmill in the mornings, but my danged ear is still giving me fits. I have a regularly scheduled doctors appointment Friday so I hope I can hold out until then. Somethin' wrong in there, and it's makin' the rest of me feel weird. Funny thing though... it doesn't bother me all the time. For some strange reason I think it's tied to my allergies. Right now I'd like to stick a drill bit in my right ear hole.

And everything echoes in our house right now (which is technically the church's house, you know). We took the carpet out of the kitchen on Friday. It was half carpet and half linoleum. We're planning to have it all carpeted, but before we can do that we have to even up the floor. Where the carpet was is lower than where the linoleum is, so now that the carpet's gone we need to get some 1/4 inch underlayment and put down. I don't know anything about this stuff, so hopefully it will go well. Oh, anyway, so while half the kitchen only has underlayment, everything really echoes in there, and it's like it magnifies the tiniest sounds. Who'da thought.

And speaking of music... I took a gander at Tommy Womack's site and see he has us down on his touring schedule for June 15 (it's a dad's day party). I never did receive the contract back - hope that wasn't in the pile of mail I pitched. Anyway, I am psyched for Tommy to be here. Suppose I oughta start working on planning and advertising and such; and lining up an opener (any ideas?).

Speaking of openers... son Isaac told us last night that Joel Levi had a gig in Muncie the other night (Joel opened for Jason Ringenberg when he was here last summer, and is in HMA with the boy), and none other than Charlie freakin' Peacock opened for Joel (Charlie's wiki). Afterwards Charlie went out to eat at Steak n' Shake with the whole group of them, and he bought everybody's food! How cool is that?

Well, it's a busy week this week. And I actually forgot I had the doctor appointment for Friday and haven't had my cholesterol check done yet (which needs done before going to the doc because that's the reason for the appointment - to see if niacin helped my good cholesterol), so today I've gotta find somewhere to get a blood test done. Somewhere cheaper than the last place I used! I think I'll try one of those PA Labs.

Peace out; peace in.

If the doctor says they have to amputate your ear, I know several people who will talk it off for free.

Last year when I blogged about losing my equilibrium you suggested it was something to do with allergies--I think you're right. Sinuses being so close to your higher brain functions, I can see where it would affect balance and just about anything. Do you find you can read people's minds and move things just by thinking about it?

You know, come to think of it, I can read minds and move things just by thinking. That's like a ...phenomenon, isn't it?

Do you also find you can see through women's dresses?

Mmmm... that power only seems to work with French girls in the Dominican Republic.
