Do you hear what I hear?
We had the house we're buying inspected yesterday. The inspector found a couple of minor things that should be fixed, but all in all it's a sound, solid house. No termites, no foundation repairs, good roof, etc. We didn't get a chance to take more pictures, but we did peek into the bedrooms to check their sizes, and we checked the storage in the bathroom. The house is bigger than I remembered, so I'm happy about that.

As I mentioned a few days ago, spring is in full force here in Dallas, and my allergies have been acting up. We went to visit Victor's parents this past weekend, and the flight really messed up my ears. Turns out the allergy congestion wasn't allowing one of my eardrums to move with the pressure in the plane, so now I have something called barotrauma of the ear, which is something that divers get and sometimes air passengers too. My left ear hurts, and I can't really hear out of it. It's like it needs to pop from the pressure and can't. I finally went to the doctor yesterday, and she told me what was wrong. I have to take a decongestant and an allergy nose spray until it gets better. It sucks. It's been almost a week with ear pain and limited hearing in one ear, and I'm sick of it. At least I went to the doctor; she said if I didn't clear up the congestion (which would ease the pressure and help the eardrum to heal), I could end up with permanent hearing loss. Yuck!
