this year, I am full up with fire— do not mistake this for burning

So the really fucking terrible ear infection I got around beginning of July?

Yeah, it's back now.

(Only in one ear so far. And while it's bugging me in similar enough ways that I'm 100% sure that's what it is, it doesn't hurt really, at least not yet. So it could be worse, but... ugh.)

I have an appointment at the sliding scale clinic on Tuesday, so hopefully it will not get too bad before then, and also it won't cost as much as it did last time to get it taken care of. For now, I am just trying not to let this get me even more distractable and scatter-brained until then, but that may be a losing battle.

Leaving in about an hour to go sit in the waiting room through my grandmother's doctor appointment, in order to be absolutely sure I can get to my appointment on time, just in case it runs later than my mother and I think it will.

I owe comments on places and things but I'm scattered and jittery and I just don't have the brainpower, so that's going to have to wait til tonight (if they can't help me, or if I recover fast) or this weekend (if I'm recovering) or something.

Can I get hugs? Or happy links? Or anything good, really? I'm gonna probably be on my phone a lot until they see me (which could be any time after 4:30 Central, might be waiting ten minutes and might be waiting three hours) and I could use distracting things or kind words.
