• Woke up with hella tinnitus in one ear. Grogged around for a while; there's basically nothing to eat for breakfast in this house, and I'm out of both sugar and honey, for the coffee.
  
  After a few hours, I started getting dizzy. Uh oh, sez me. Good thing I kept the meclizine from the last time I had inner-ear-related vertigo. Took it.
  
  Climbed into bed again and passed out for four hours. Woke up, watched TV, fell asleep on the couch for a few hours. Go body go! Kill whatever's in my ear! KILL!
  
  I feel much better now, though I still have a little extra tinnitus on the one side.
  
  
  It's a really odd feeling when you can hear that your body is malfunctioning, or functioning properly to fix a problem. Ringing in my ear meant that my body was on the job. Being drowsy meant the same thing. The crick in my neck means my body is protecting itself against my bad posture from watching too much TV. And so forth.
