And I'm sure there's more, cause I remember saying that X would have to wait until Sunday, but I don't remember what X was.

I think the new antibiotic is kicking in, as I seem to have a lot more energy, at least. I can't hear earbuds or headsets through my right ear, both ears feel congested. The outside world is still behind a layer of cotton, and my voice is still louder in my head, but with not as much buzz. The echo is gone. The whistle is still there.

Flar met Critter and I at the Healthy Back Store today, and we bought ourselves our Christmas present: a deluxe king mattress, no platform, with waterproof cover and one pillow thrown in. We're actually happy with our current pillows - the pillow is for Gaucha;. They'll call within the next two days to arrange delivery, which will likely be before next Friday.

Which means my new focus for cleaning is our bedroom. We've got to measure for and buy masonite sheets to fit over the slats and under the mattress, re-staple the slats that have come free from the plastic stringer, and I want to completely vacuum out the under-bed area before we put the new mattress in place. I also want to tear apart the contents of my under-bed drawer, cubbies, vanity, dresser, etc, and completely reorganize.

Flar's present to me is the mattress. My present to him is the clean room that will go around it. A room that will be able to STAY clean.

Okay, still no S. Gonna have to find another time, and get to work.
