Okay, a lot to cover this morning. Let's start with some karmic retribution. So, did you see who died yesterday? Herman Cain. You know, former neurosurgeon turned Godfather's Pizza CEO turned presidential candidate turned crazy boy turned cheeto boot licker. How did he die you ask? He got the 'Rona. Oh no, and where did he catch the evil 'rona?? Best estimate puts it it somewhere in OK. At a rally. Where he Wore. No. Mask. Look, I know it's not cool to revel in the death of someone. I also feel bad for his staff or anyone who without choice came into contact with him, but there is something satisfying about these anti-masker idiots getting a taste of their own. Especially now that the cheeto is saying shit like delay the election. You know, straight up dictator facist bullshit. Still think Hillary would have been as bad? Still think Biden is as bad? No you stupid fuckers. They aren't. Period. End of discussion. Grow the fuck up.
In other news, we have a friend going through the same issue X2 went through. They found a 7cm cyst on her ovary. Luckily they caught it early and while she may lose the one ovary, she won't lose anything else. The importance of regular medical exams people. It's put her under a great deal of stress so B is going to spend the next couple of days spending the days with her to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. It's a big deal and I don't wish that on anyone.
Speaking of medical exams, I had one yesterday. Sort of. Had my ears checked because of Tuesday's insane tinnitus outbreak. I went to a place recommeded by the American Tinnitus Association. They did a full hearing test first, checked for lumps in the canal, etc. Good news, while I have hearing loss, it's nothing outside the norm for someone my age and experience of ear abuse. No other word for it. Too many years of rock concerts and headphones. While my hearing could be better, I am not in any danger or having any issues. So that leaves us with how to manage the tinnitus. Unfortunately not a whole hell of a lot has changed on that front. They were able to offer me counseling, management, etc. Basically all the things I do right now. There was some good news. If I am willing to invest, there are newer hearing aids which generate a pink noise to help create a background noise to reduce how much of the ringing you hear. It would also help with the high end hearing loss I have. Except that's not a cheap option. We're looking at $3500 a pair. I will say they are extremely small and barely noticeable but I don't know if I am ready to go down that path yet. It's a huge investment. It wouldn't be a bad thing, but not sure it's the right thing right now. I am still pondering it.
In additon to all that, I finished the second set of workbooks I was building and can now turn my attention to creating of a new class based on the work I did this week. That's today's project. Next week I have 4 out 5 days with full classes which is nice. Just need to get through today, enjoy my weekend, and have a nice training week.
On the workfront, I also ordered two new books which I will be leveraging for this new class. Some good reference materials. Plus a new UPS to keep the internet on in case of a power outage. It's a small one but it will give me 45-55 minutes of internet if something goes wrong.
Made salmon for myself for dinner. B is having a food aversion week where nothing looks good to her. I have come to accept this and not try to force her to eat just because. It sucks making two different meals or adjusting sizes, but it's not that big of a deal. It is what it is.
Went to bed around 10:30 and managed to get some good sleep. My ears have been silent for over 24 hours now which is wonderful. This is also why I hesitate on buying the aids. On tuesday I would have given you any amount of money to make it stop. But the last two days have been good. Thank goodness.
Okay, let's go see what kind of shit the world is in today.
