The second or third time I had my hearing “fixed”…

I woke up very early in the evening after the tubes were implanted in my ears to the racket that was birds squawking outside my window. I cried because I could hear it, and also because it was now so loud it broke me out of my anesthetic enhanced sleep. God’s be damned those birds were loud. Which reminds me, I need to see the hearing doctor to find out about a hearing aid or something because I know my hearing is getting worse and worse with each passing year. I hate the telephone, and by God if I interact with any one with any sort of accent I’m left completely in the dark. Don’t get upset if I ask you to repeat yourself three or four times each time you speak. I prefer written instructions with a potential spoken follow-up.  Speech to text on zoom calls or Google meets has been pretty awesome. Same with closed captioning, I have that shit on on just about every single streaming service I run. Thank you very much.

That just randomly popped into my head. Hope you have a restful long weekend. Welcome to Saturday. Also hearing loss sucks, get checked. I am increasingly finding I have auditory hallucinations of beeping phones, footsteps, and all manner of things. Not a fan. Take care of yourselves.
