Day 2,952 —Turning off the Noise— with a PICTURE of a GAS CONTAINER #737

Yesterday, around 10 a.m. my left ear starting ringing and then my hearing changed. I thought my ear was responding to the weather and needed to pop. I tried the usual remedies, but nothing worked.

Around 3 p.m. my ear became so painful that I was more confused than I was feeling the pain. 

My response was “why pain why and why now?!” I got a 50-mile trail race tomorrow after all. 

Right, now I still plan on showing up to that race tomorrow, but it is going to be harder than I thought. 

I have stopped listening to music, audiobooks, and podcast. It is so maddening to listen to this distorted version of everything.
