P-C, your brother is awesome.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I went to see the doctor for my not-hearing oozy ear. He can't tell if I have a middle ear infection because of all the wax in my ear. (D'oh!) Apparently the ooze really is wax, because water gets trapped in the ear and mixes with the wax and then...oozes.
So I have to put peroxide in my ear 3 times a day until Tuesday, then go back to the doctor; if the wax is still there, he'll scoop it out and then see if I have a middle ear infection. I do, however, have an infection in my ear canal, so I have antibiotic drops for that. (I really do feel like a 5-year-old.)

Your ear is yucky!
My doctor's observation on first peering in my ear: "There's a moderate level of nastiness in there."
Me: "Is that a medical term?"
Dr.: "Well, no. The term is 'ew, gross!', but I didn't want to confuse you with medical terminology."
I love my doctor. I do not love my ear. Stupid ear! Be less waxy!

Tep, if it makes you feel better, I have always been ear waxy as well. I clean them, but the wax builds up deeper in the ear and I frequently have to have them do the ear lavage thingy at the doctor. Sigh.

What are you waiting for, then? Make the most out of it!
Stay at home, wake up at your own free time, ask The Boy (I'm not confusing Buffista's spouses, am I?) to bring you hot cocoa and watch a hell lot of cartoons and TV.
Hell, I'll take a waxy ear for that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'm a waxy-ear girl too. I get them cleaned out at the doctor, or the ENT clinic if I have an appt at the right time. In between, I recommend Audiclean (if it's sold in the States) - it's just purified water that you can direct into the right part of your ear, but it works really well.
smonster, how's the trapped nerve?
Dihydrocodeine was a good idea. Should have taken it earlier. Actually managing to do some reading now. Note to self: painkillers exist for a reason.

I would love to do my civic duty. I have an idealistic streak. But it's just so much of a pain in the ass for me as a (primarily) freelance worker.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, the freelance/contractor thing definitely makes for a huge hassle and risk financially.
I know some people who bitch about jury duty even when their company covers it (thus not losing out on money, and not having to work double-shifts). I do not understand it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Some other countries have professional jurors, right? How does that compare to our system?
