Can you speak into my right ear please?

Youth on Friday night was pretty low key. We got bumped from upstairs so Steve had to improvise. We played a couple games and then watched Mr. Deeds. Steve didn't have time to preview it so he was cringing a lot about the number of swears in the movie. Poor guy.

Saturday morning a bunch of us helped Toby and Alysha load up a U-Haul and saw them off. The work went pretty fast despite having to climb up and down a long, narrow staircase. It all went pretty smoothly and I know I appreciated the pizza they bought us for lunch.

After getting home and playing on my computer for a bit I laid down to catch a quick nap. Well after getting up I couldn't hear at all with my left ear. For the past two weeks I've been waking up with blockage in my ear but it normally goes away after I eat breakfast or play with my ear for a minute. Well let's just say it hasn't really gone away at all this weekend. I was a little worried about singing last night with only one ear, but I was fine. Well as fine as one can be after breaking two strings in one night. The first one broke, so I ripped it off and continued on only to have the second string break two songs later. Talk about frustrating. Luckily Pastor Josh has his guitar in his office so I borrowed it... without telling him. Heh heh.

I put some warm mineral oil in my ear a couple times to try and loosen up the blockage but it didn't help a whole lot. I had plenty of wax come out, but not enough since my ear is still mostly blocked right now. The only relief I had was after singing during the service last night. Luckily I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon anyways because I needed some prescriptions refilled. Bring on the ear pump!
