Garlic in my ear and doubt in my heart
Yes, you’ve read it right. A small rectangular piece of garlic protrudes out of my left ear canal, giving me a lovely scent of French Cuisine (or Romanian salami, if you insist). Why, you ask?
Duh, people, it’s a proven natural remedy. I have an ear infection which makes me climb the wall in pain each evening and the Nurofen pills didn’t do much to it so I had to take some alternative measures. It’s supposed to work because garlic is both antiinflamatory and disinfectant, and I’ve used it a few times before, with good results. So you smell funny while using it -just keep yourself away from the new hottie in your office and you’ll be fine. You’re not left with many choices when you don’t want to use antibiotics.
And just why won’t you use them, I hear you ask - well .. ahem.. I might or might not be pregnant. A quick test said no, but I’m sleepy each afternoon to the point where I simply go to sleep immediately when Robi comes home, happy that there’s somebody who can take care of Timi while I finally get my snoozes. This was the main simptom with Timi in the first months, too .
I’d like to have some certainity, though. If kid no.2 is not here, that’s fine, I can get the damn antibiotics and cure my throat and my $#^& ear. If he/she is here - hooray ! The ear pain would be for a good cause.
OooooooOOOooooOOOoooo!
I’m already rubbin’ my hands with excitement
Oh wow! *fingers crossed*
Hope your ear feels better too.
I’d do that cute “ooooOO” thing SisterOne did, but I don’t think I can pull it off as nicely.
Either way, I’m all excited on your behalf, now, and I can’t WAIT to hear if indeed no.2 is on the way. You WILL keep us updated, won’t you? You can’t just say something like that and then NOT share… you know that, right? Right??
Well, AF just kicked in a few minutes ago, so no second kid started its earthy life this month. I’m happy though that I can finally start some real medication because the $#^^ ear is driving me crazy.Thanks a lot for the nice comments girls though - as for you Sis, it might be expected for you to reproduce the ooooOOO in real sound when you’ll get here
