So last night, my left ear just goes out. Right around midnight. I'm pissed off because there's no way I'll be able to fall asleep with something like this. I knew the eardrum wasn't gone, because I had a small bit of hearing left. I go to the bathroom, and grab some cue tips to investigate. I put the first one in, nothing, although s*** starts to burn a little. I turn it around, put the other side in, much deeper this time. I twirl it around, do some digging. I pull it out, and the bastard is covered with dark ear wax and blood (or, a dark yellowish brown with hints of red everywhere). Worse, no improvement. Now I'm pissed, because I have to wake up at 6 the next morning for work and I'll be tired as f*** at this rate. I stick another cue tip in. No blood, but I pull out a mountain of ear wax. Still, no improvement. I figure at this point I have a clogged ear, and using cue tips does more harm than good. So I jump in the shower, and turn the water on. Because my shower is a giant piece of s***, only on cold water does the nozzle spray it with any force at all. So at roughly 1 in the morning I am suffering in the shower, getting drenched with freezing water, letting it go in my ear in hopes of washing the s*** out. Still nothing. I dry myself off, and finally fall asleep at around 2 am.
I still have the clogged ear today, dealing with it as I write this, and no idea how to get rid of it. I called in sick to work, since I really am not in the best of conditions.
