I am not in the greatest of places right now. And I want to complain about it.

My ear continues to be clogged. Some days it feels a little better, but most days I’m aware of what feels like constant fluid in my ear.

I’m trying to go dairy free to see if this thing might be a food allergy. Some days I think it’s helping. Other days I really want a fricking piece of cheese. But at least the coconut creamer for my coffee is good.

Because of my ear, anytime I try to put my head upside down, it feels like my brain’s going to pop out of my head, and then my ear is way worse the rest of the day. Which means glorious yoga poses like this

or this

are darn near impossible. Anytime I attempt yoga, I just feel worse. And anytime I don’t do yoga, my body just feels stiff and sore. It’s a lose-lose situation.

Since I can’t do yoga, I’ve about given up on exercise. The only exercise I’ve had energy to pursue is walks. I’m trying my best to keep up with those.

Since I’m not exercising and always feel stiff, I’m not sleeping great and I can’t seem to drag my butt out of bed early. I’m always feeling lethargic.

My job continues to stress me out. I’m tired of trying to keep senior citizens happy.

But in the midst of all that, there is some good in my life.

My marriage continues to be wonderful. I am so thankful to be married to such an awesome guy. He takes good care of me.

I’m continuing to write “books” and write songs. Here’s my youtube channel for those interested. (I have three subscribers!! WOO HOO!) I have two more songs that need to be recorded as well. One is completely written and the other is almost done.

My bird feeder and bird bath are a hot spot lately. I’ve enjoyed sitting on my front porch in this beautiful spring weather we’re actually having and watch them fight over the food.

Thanks for letting me rant.
