I flew home from Denmark with a head cold and my right ear has been ringing ever since. My doctor referred me to my ENT, who has been trying a couple different things, but now it's allergy season & it's hard to tell if anything is working because the effects of the allergies counteract the meds. He said the next thing to try is to put tubes in my ears. In the meantime, I've lost 10 decibels of hearing in that ear that I may or may not get back.
    Yeah, I'm getting cabin fever and having sewing withdrawals!
    Oh no! Loss of hearing isn't good, I know because I have it. My ears always ring and it's so annoying.

I will hope the warmer weather will help you heal a little faster. a few minutes even 10 outside might just help dry things up. oh wait! your in FL not dry heat at all. oh heck. well sewing, sewing drys things up. get into the sewing room. it has a healing affect for me hope it does for you too.
    Holy cow! I hope I don't have it another 4 weeks!!!!!
    Shoot, I nap for 3 hours at a time and am worn out 10 minutes after I wake up. I have to take care of hubby, my 6 yo DGD and 4 cats! Hubby has been taking up the slack pretty good tho.

    I have a dr appt friday, if I don't feel better by then I will ask for something to help. I had an appt last week but I was to sick to go (it was just routine).

    According to the USPS my package was delivered to my partner last week. I have not seen it posted yet and have not heard a word from her. So I will post a picture of a small bit of what I sent to her. She wanted something for her kitchen, so using the Moda Bake Shop ideas, I made eight coasters and one much larger coaster - my thought to place a pitcher of lemonade or put of coffee on. I also included two reusable coffee traveling mugs that matched the colors of the coasters. (Did not take a picture of the coffee mugs). Attached is a picture of the coasters. The larger one looks exactly the same but supersized.
