Hey hey. Been too busy to blog this last couple of days, and the weather has continued to be horrendously hot, meaning I've managed nooooo biking, no gymming, nothing remotely productive except a couple of Trail walks.
Today was a big step forward in another area though. Took possession of my hearing aid today. Against a background of a degree of scepticism, I slipped the thing into my ear.
Amazing. Not perfect of course, but still amazing. Suddenly I didn't need to look at people and read their lips. Didn't need to turn my left ear round in a sometimes demented paroxysm, and could join in conversations relatively normally.
So now, your Disappearing Man comes with a cybernetic lughole, an earpod of excellence... Jaime Sommers, the Bionic Woman, and I, both now do that thing where we incline our heads just slightly, and then have scientifically magical, clear or clear-as-dammit hearing. Now all I need to do is get back to the "stronger, faster, better than he was before" ethic of Steve Austin.
There's every chance that tomorrow, your Disappearing Man also comes with a 17 again, but let's see what's what. Haven't weighed at all this week, but the likelihoods are stacked against me tomorrow.
Where the hell's this thunder we're supposed to be getting?
