Wow, as the great Bugs Bunny would say, “What a Mar-roon!”  (translated = MORON)  For on just the SECOND day of the new year, I did not SKIP my post for the day, I instead completely forgot to do it!  Don’t get me wrong, I am excited to live into 2013, but in all honesty I am pretty worried about how it will be turning out…..after all, blogging was not one of my New Year’s Resolutions.  So let me try for today, January 3rd instead.

Today was actually sailing right along and going well as I saw it.  I was able to eat lunch with Ben and Steph at Chick-fil-A and then take Ben to his follow up appointment for his tonsils and tubes.  He did fine, and he nailed his hearing test (which he failed last time).

But the doc and I have talked quite a bit over these past few visits about how I failed my hearing test there a few years ago with his former partner, who has since retired.  As regular readers may remember, I passed a test this summer, which both surprised and elated me, but it was here in my house and not in the “booth” like at the doctors.

But I went into the booth, which is soundproof, with Ben and I noticed something I didn’t like.  I had LOUD ringing in BOTH ears the entire time.  Out with the noise, I do not notice it, but in there it was very irritating…..so I nonchalantly asked him about it. 

So in a little over a week I will nonchalantly meander back in and see about figuring things out.  My hearing really does not bother me (other than in that booth) because you cannot be bothered by things you cannot hear unless she hits you.  But it was a real surprise, because I am obviously having that go on ALL the time and in noise I do not hear it.  It doesn’t hurt and it doesn’t mean I need to wear hearing aids, but it did awaken my curiosity.  We will see what he says.

But the upside of the day was clearly the lunch.  And I like to go to Chick-fil-A, whether I can hear them or not.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
