Now why would I bring up something like that, you ask? Well I did something kind of dumb last night. I was using a Q-Tip to clean my ears, and I was kinda tired, so my hand accidentally slipped and jammed the thing into my ear canal. Much deeper than intended. I hit something in there. And it hurts.
I don't recall enough anatomy to know what I smacked into in my ear, but now it is all plugged up in there and quite painful. I imagine I am on my way to having an ear infection.
I've been doing this offending practice for years; that is, putting a Q-Tip in my ear, not blogging or complaining, though I've done both of those for years as well. I have finally managed to do some harm, and now I'm ruing the day. Ruing, I tells ya!
Article entitled "Q-Tips: Weapons of Ear Destruction" from WebMD.com. Thankfully, I don't use them often. Probably significantly less so now. Ouch.
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith. - Henry Ward Beecher

Believe it or not, this parting comment is a bit sexist too.
