Bubbly!

Hubby & I were having a glass of champagne to "celebrate" the end of a nice 4-day weekend.....

When I poured the fizzy drink into the glasses, the sound was so whimsical and delightful!

I stood there a few seconds longer just to hear the lovely sound the champagne was making as it bubbled towards the top of the glass.

"How cute!" I thought, before I gladly consumed said noisy beverage. Who knew alcohol could be so entertaining with a CI!

;-)

Sometimes...

...I wish I didn't hear so well.

There are noises I don't really *need* to hear:

- the fan blowing in my laptop as it cools off;
- my co-worker sniffling constantly not realizing she JUST. HAS. TO. BLOW. HER. NOSE!
- family members farting;
- my neighbor downstairs blasting her radio w/ Polka music.

But, then again, I guess these sounds aren't all that bad...

:)

Naked!

I'm on my way 2 work on this drizzly Friday morning...and my hair is pulled back into a twist & clipped away from my face.

And...

MY EARS ARE SHOWING!

I haven't worn a hearing aid in my right ear for a few months now (it broke & I've been too lazy 2 get it repaired).

BUT!!!

My left ear with my CI processor is exposed in all its vulnerability for all the world 2 see. If you look closely enough, you can see the thin cable that leads 2 the magnet that is attached 2 my head underneath my hair.

<shudder>

I *never* wear my hair back because I am EXTREMELY. SELF. CONSCIOUS. about my ear(s) being "naked." Being the neurotic person I am, I assume everyone will stare at me, at my head, at my ear & at the magnet. The horror!

What's the worst thing that can happen? If people stare (without saying anything), I will TRY 2 ignore them. If they ask, I'll proudly declare, "It's a cochlear implant!" :-D

The reason I chose 2 blog about this is so I don't chicken out & take my hair down. Besides, I didn't wash it this morning, so...yuck.

Wish me luck.
