103: Yuck.

103: Yuck.
This is a photo of Florence, Italy I took on spring break in 2023. I freaking loved it there.

(Yuck is a great song by CharlieXCX, but it isn't what this title is about)

I've been sick the last couple days, as I've mentioned in previous posts, and it's largely been better today, I don't have a sore throat, and I didn't have to blow my nose as frequently. That being said, though, I have lost hearing in my right ear. I think it's an internal pressurization problem, where my sinuses are full of gunk, so I can't pop my ears to bring the ear drum pressure in line. I initially thought it was an earwax problem, because I've definitely had this same thing happen before where my ears just decide to be clogged, but none of my strategies for that worked. It started around 11 AM, and has been a pain in the ass all day. It has genuinely made conversation a little difficult, since I'm operating at like 2/3 effectiveness right now, and every time I do pop my ears, it hurts, which is awesome.

I'm really hoping this goes away with sleep, because I am so tired of it.
