okay

Away from keys most of the day.
Then drop something off at work
Print Descensus schwag and presentations.
But new grey shorts (as I can't find mine, waaaaah!)
Buy ribbon.
Come home.
Pack.
Do my last work thing and go.

Yes, somehow, I've fit all the critical things in.

Note the lack of SLEEP anywhere in that list.

The airport better have earplanes or I'm going to be deaf for days.

Earplanes are awesome.

I've seen them sold at most news stands in the airports these days.

Even with them I'm in agonizing pain when I fly, but my hearing usually comes back much quicker.

Is it the pressurization or the ambient noise?

Teh BF got the noise cancelling headphones, and he thinks they're the most awesome things ever.

the pressurization.

Man, busy day! Hopefully some of it's fun, at least.

Clearly I'm missing something.

"earplanes?"

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

Plastic doohickeys of sheer awesomeness.

Ah-hah. Cool? :)

They are plastic things you put in your ears to help ease pain from pressure changes. I have terrible sinuses and a heart condition that prohibits me from taking any medication that would help me on the plane. Without earplanes flight is unbearable as opposed to merely really painful. It's the difference between crying in public or not.

That sucks. :(
I'm fortunate that I rarely have problems on flights. Sometimes I'll feel my ears pop, but that's really it. I've only had the severe pain ONCE, but that was enough to make me feel realllllly sorry for those of you who almost always experience it. :(
Because seriously, I thought I was going to die. My head was going to cave in or something. I don't know how others manage.
