thirty-two

1. It's been quite a week.
2. I pulled the plug on the family vacation, (for me), Tuesday morning because I was sick.
3. At first I thought it was dehydration, but the nausea didn't dissipate after 48 hours, and I felt like I could not board a plane for six hours.
4. Late Wednesday afternoon, (after using the Neti pot), my right ear popped and opened, like the Wizard of Oz going from black and white to color opened.
5. I didn't even realize I couldn't hear that's how drastic the difference was. 
6. And by the evening the nausea had dissipated, so maybe I got water in my ear when I had my hair done the prior Saturday? Who knows.
7. What I do know is that I was super disappointed, and then I got over it. 
8. I'm looking forward to the travel I have planned this fall, that helps with the disappointment.
9. I've made an appointment for my tattoo to be removed and I'm actually not as scared.
10. The receptionist said she's had a tattoo removed by my laser lady*, and that it doesn't hurt too much, (she numbs!!), and that ONE VISIT removed 80% of her tattoo!!
11. She said the older the tattoo the harder it is to remove, and that color is harder as well. My tattoo is less than six months old, the size of two postage stamps, and black only. I'm encouraged!
12. I've fallen down The Good Wife rabbit hole. 
13. So. Good.

*she's done laser on my chest for sun damage, and I'm currently doing laser hair removal with her.
