Tea: Blood Orange with ginger and honey
Music: Luscious Jackson, "Naked Eye"
Time: Night.
I was on the phone today, apologizing for asking for yet another repeat of what had just been said.
The conversation ran thusly:
"Sorry that I can't hear you too well. My ear's filled up."
"Why did it do that?"
"I don't know. Maybe because it got a ten-cents-a-gallon discount coupon."
(Giggling)
(Indistinct phone conversation)
"Say again, please?"
Yes, it's allergy season. That has something to do with it. But my left ear fills up at the slightest provocation, no matter what the season.
Wind blowing on it during the day? It'll be full by nightfall. Sudden change in air pressure? Ditto.
I could take decongestants, but they either (a) don't work or (b) work and make me absolutely insane. Wonderful options, those.
In the meantime, I'm self-medicating with ginger. We'll see how that goes.
I'm sorry ... did you say something?
