Taking Care of the Caretaker

Poor Jennilyn. She's had an earache for almost two days. Last night, she said she was going into the doctor today if it wasn't gone.

Not only did it not go, it got worse.

Diagnosis, Swimmer's Ear.

Doctor-prescribed anti-biotic ear drops and Lortabs are helping her feel more comfortable. Soup and a bagel has been comfort food today.

She does so much, it's nice to be able to take care of her once in a while.

Today I submitted myself as an applicant for another job at the nearby Army base. They hire a lot of civilians. I thought it was daunting re-drafting my resume for the first time in almost a decade, but the process was actually intuitive enough that it dissipated some of my tension. There are dozens more of these openings to sort through. Surely someone out there needs a law-talking guy of my unique skillset...

Ooh... I got Swimmer's Ear during the Virginia Beach reunion. NOT fun. Very painful. :( Hope it gets better soon.

Soup looks delicious! You are a good husband and caretaker.

Hope you get a one of a kind wonderful job. It might take patience.

I have a friend whose husband just got a job at BYU Hawaii after almost a year of having a put together type job someone came up with after he was unfairly laid off at the U of U.

Oh that is good looking soup! That might need to be on today's menu.

John does make good man-soup.
