If you read my "Flying" post you will know that I have having some ear issues. I had taken some benadryl before the flight to try to avoid any issues. But on the flight home my right ear popped. When it popped the sound and pain that followed woke me. Now I was hoping that the pain and now headache would subside after some ibuprofen and a good nights sleep. Since I was sleep deprived. After five days of eye crossing pain from my ear and head I headed to the doctor. And nothing they could see nothing wrong with my ears and I was not having any other symptoms. They gave me a list of symptoms to look for and to come back if I develope any. They also gave me some eardrops. I had an appointment with the audiologist in a little over a week. So I was hoping for some answers then. Now two weeks into my ear pain and headache I also have a cough. (And my balance is Really off, not sure if this do to my ear or other issues.) A cough was one of the symptoms to look for, so back to the

I did have an interesting time in my air travels this trip. I bought the cheapest tickets I could find and in return we had a few stop overs on the way. This was my fifth trip home and I had never any major traveling issues. On the way to Seattle we made it to Houston. Then got onto my second flight and after everyone was aboard they told us we had to get off the plane. They had over fueled the plane and everyone had to get off so they could fix it. Now I was not going to make my connecting flight and all the other flights to Seattle were full so I had to go on stand by. I was lucky only had to wait on standby for five hours.(There were four service men trying to get home that waited longer than me.) And I got to Seattle only a few hours later than I was planning. Now I thought my travel worries over. But my flight back to Austin was even more exciting than my flight to Seattle. Well maybe exciting is not the right word. I made it from Seattle to San Fransico. We left SFO a few minute

This is not the post that I was planning on writing but it's the fast way to tell everyone. For now I have no Internet at home. When I moved into my current home there was only one cable provider in the area. The service was never great I have always had problems. So after three years of spotty service and paying too much for it, I was done. Unfortunately there is still only one cable and internet provider in my area. So I am taking a break for now. I have been able to deal with out tv just fine and I am not going to get cable back. I have netflix so I can still watch lots of movies. And when I have internet I can find most of the tv programs that I like online. The lack of Internet is getting to me and I will have to turn it back on but I am not in any hurry. I got an email from them saying I owe them $1559. Now I know that this not true because I had my equipment picked up and he gave me all the paper work and I owe them $59.98. Now I do have my iPad and there is wifi around so

I have my second half marathon of the year done. My time was 2hours 52mins This was a little slower than my time from the Austin half-marathon, but I did it with my sister. So we talked and just had a good time. We could not remember the last we had three hours of just sister time. So with a little time off from training and the fact I was in Seattle. I had time to spend time with my family and see some old friends. I had a great time but it's was time to get back to summer weather. It's hard to show off your tattoos when your wearing your winter clothes.
