Christmas is Close & Ear Aches

We are less than 2 weeks away from Christmas. I still don't know what we are going to get to do for Christmas this year. Just so much going on with Covid. We already did Christmas with my in-laws, but I would really like to see my parents and sisters and nieces and nephews.

Yesterday we got our first little snow flurry, but we are still the only area I know of that doesn't have any snow on the ground, which makes me sad and not ready for Christmas. We haven't watched Christmas movies or listened to nearly enough Christmas music.


I am not feeling very good still.


I don't enjoy being in the kitchen still.


I have been watching 13 Reasons Why; I am finally on season 4. It is a heavy show with dark content. Which is usually my favorite type of series, but 13 Reasons Why is very hard.


I am reading Rachel Bloom's book.


I have been trying to keep up with yoga and barre, but the last two days I have not been feeling up to doing anything, so I just sat on the couch doing nothing. My ear still hurts so badly.


My sister is getting into remission with Multiple Sclerosis, and I am so happy about that.


We switched Rusty to a kibble based diet, like Kevin.


I have been listening to a lot of podcasts.


The burping comes and goes, I definitely see a difference in my diet and burping now. This morning I am not burping, after eating cinnamon rolls, coca-cola, pizza rolls, lime hot cheetos and a fizzy water. I am feeling pretty good, digestive wise today.


I have a headache and I am exhausted but I am staying out of bed to get yoga, barre and housework done today.


Friday I wore a push up sports bra.


Normally I just wear a light tee shirt material bra or go braless at home, but Thursday I did yoga in front of a mirror and was really pleased with what I saw, but my boobs were really low on my chest. I wore a bra for 12 hours on Friday. Today is Sunday and both yesterday and today I have not changed from my nightgown and my physical appearance is the least of my worries.


My husband and I have been watching Hoarders.


He has taken it to heart and has now cleared most of the junk in our house.


I think it has been a good thing for us to watch together.


We just couldn't settle on anything to watch.


My husband likes cartoons.


I like to watch dramas. Hoarders gave us the right amount of escape and drama, we got to make guesses at how the hoarders will react. And we are utterly disturbed at how these people live. Unfortunately, we have now watched every episode on Netflix and Hulu, so we started My Strange Addiction yesterday, but that is not the same for us. I think tonight I will suggest we start our Christmas movies list. I think A Muppet's Christmas Carol is our first.


I have not started making phone calls to my loved ones because of my head and ear pain.


One of my best friends is in Florida this weekend, I am worried about her and their family with the Covid cases, but since they haven't banned travel, I am sure that it is safe.


We were supposed to go to Florida in May, when all of this started and have had plane tickets on hold to find out what we can transfer them to.


I don't know when we will go or where. I don't foresee it happening in the next 6 months. And if possible, I would love to transfer the tickets to an international flight.


To visit family in Germany and I would still love to make it to England!


Since I have not been up to cooking, I do not have any new recipes to share with you all. Nor have I done any crafts or fun trips. We have just been staying in while I feel terrible. My husband has been keeping patient with me while I throw up frequently.


I made a tasty-looking cranberry oat-bars today. We have not tried them yet; they are currently cooling.

I miss feeling good because I miss my husband. I have been a terrible wife this week.


Tomorrow we have a Doctors appointment, so I am hoping my Doctor can offer some remedies for my poor ears that have taken over my life. I only have to get through today. Which I plan to do some cleaning and maybe I can get my husband to play a game with me or do something together.


I made brussel sprouts on Friday with a new recipe that I got from a friend.


I could go get Sudafed from the pharmacy, but I am waiting until tomorrow when my Doctor can get another look at my ear to tell me if that is the best plan of action. I have just been using Flonase twice daily.
