I’m fairly certain everyone has had a consecutive run of days where they feel like they’re at their lowest. A string of days where no matter how hard or how fast you work, it seems as if you’re not getting anywhere. These past two weeks have been that way for me. Schedules are tight at work and even going in Saturdays do not seem to accomplish much. I fix one thing. Something breaks. I fix that thing and something else breaks and so on and so forth.
There’s also this constant ringing in my ear I picked up and haven’t been able to get rid of. I can only hear it in my right ear. My left is clear as it was before the ringing in my right. It started in January, and I just noticed it one day. It was annoying in a way I can’t describe. Eventually, my mind tuned it out after a couple of months and was less noticeable, but getting there was pretty bad. I’ve heard lifelong smokers describe how difficult it was to quit and how raw their nerves were during their first few weeks going cold on the smokes. I would liken this ringing to that. The older guys at work say it’s normal for people to hear this ringing in their ears when they get older. I hope this is the only thing I pick up in my advancing years. I don’t think I can handle anything else.
