Silence. Broke yesterday around noon. Had good sleep last night.
Cleaned the house, did laundry, had hair appointment, made Korean style ribs for dinner, did a 3 hour stream. Good way to end my vacation. I am actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Weird but true. I'm excited to get back into writing my code and making a difference. Today I am doing C's laundry, putting my new tags on, and maybe mowing the front yard.
Still screaming.
Hearing aid appointment was a bust. The amplification did nothing and the "masking" was just low key pink noise. I don't need to spend $1500 for the same thing I can make in audacity and hear on earbuds. At least it didn't cost me anything.
Hair appointment today.
Screaming.
Well today is my hearing aid appointment so we will be able to see if I have immediate relief or no. Moment of truth.
Didn't do anything yesterday. Almost done with vacation.
Head is still screaming. Day two. Thankfully I have hearing aid appointment tomorrow.
Took a drive to Holt and Mason yesterday. Scouted out potential areas for us to live. Got a list of names of realtors. Had pizza for lunch. Came home made chicken caesar wraps for dinner. Did a 3 hour livestream. Went to bed.
Silence.
The best birthday gift. Yep, it's my birthday! I did manage to stay up until midnight. Woke up to four birthday greetings. Three new steam games as gifts too.
Yesterday was good. I went to my hearing test at 6:45am. Good news, bad news. Good news is my hearing is just fine for someone my age. I have perfectly acceptable hearing loss, minor, and at the upper end. Exactly what I should have. Bad news? My hearing is just fine. I do have an appointment for hearing aids on Friday but the audiologist said it's a 60% chance it will help with my issues. They do a 60 day trial so if I don't see improvement, I can return with no issues. Fine. I will try. 60% is the highest number I have gotten so far.
Dinner was incredible. I am literally still full. I had to stay up last night just to let my stomach settle. Everyone was on time, we all had a good time, and I got a book and a charm bracelet with some cute charms. But I seriously can't eat anything all day. Not if I am going to have cake tonight.
I have a dentist appointment at 11, pick up the cake at 1pm, and that's it for the day. Two friends are coming for cake tonight.
Still screaming.
This is the one day I wanted silence too. I have my hearing test in 2 hours. Maybe it's good? I don't know. All I know is I am tired of it.
Made a 12 hour pork butt. Ran errands. Played games. Watched a movie. Tomorrow is birthday.
Scream. Came back noon yesterday.
Shitty day. It got really bad from noon until bed. still screaming. need more sleep. fireworks going off all damn night long. just a complete waste of a day.
Silence, day two
It doesn't feel like I am on vacation yet. It just feels like a Saturday after working from home. We have to see how monday feels.
Went to the grocery store yesterday morning before it got over 100. We had thunderstorms last night which seems to have "broken" the heat. Only going to be 80s today. The bigger thing it did was not let the assholes shoot off fireworks last night. I would love for a second day of rain. So sorry, all your events are cancelled. Bye bye.
We had pizza for dinner. Chilled out. Played some games. Went to bed around 1am. Nothing but my normal saturday chores on the docket. Laundry. Cleaning. Existing.
Silence
Welcome to day 2 of my time off. Technically it started at noon yesterday. I did do some work in the morning. Tried to add a feature to my apps. Got blocked by internal security. Oh well, I tried. Left around 1pm to go to my appointment. Was there until about 6:30. Here it is in all it's glory:
Very happy with it. Came out exactly the way I wanted. Got home around 7:30 with Bonchon. We ate, watched some TV and went to bed together around 10:30. Today I am going to the store and that's it.
