So the last few days one of my ears has been malfunctioning. It’s all stuffy, clogged, popping all the time and generally feels like I have that side of my head submerged in water. My logical side understands that it is probably just clogged and that I need to continue my decongestant taking and perhaps go get some swimmers ear drops or some other fix my ear medication.

Then there’s the crazy side of me who keeps thinking about that kid who also had a clogged ear and ended up having spiders in his ear that they had to pull out- (one dead, one still alive). So I’m consistently waiting to hear some noise inside my ear drum that is indicative of some form of bug crawling around in there.
