This afternoon we were eating a late lunch of pizza, (incidentally, it was the freezer half-cheese, half-pepperoni kind, which I can recommend for picky families) and my ear/jaw gave a painful pop.

Being hungry and keen on pizza, I kept eating.  But the pain only became worse, ’til it felt like I was doing the equivalent of riding a bike after the chain has fallen off.  Apparently my ear, which has had painful pressure due to a cold and allergies, was feeling neglected and decided to use more forceful methods of making its needs known.

Since it hurts to move my jaw at all, I’ve decided to blog.  Afterall, anyone who knows me well will tell you that I don’t keep my mouth shut for too terribly long unless I’m writing.  Now, I could try using sign language, which both my dh and I studied for a bit in college, but as that requires a better memory than I have I’m reduced to fingerspelling and have you ever tried to hold a conversation using the asl finger alphabet to spell out every word?

Hence my bid for your sympathy.  Oh, joy, for blogging communication!

Of course, there’s also the issue of what I can eat for dinner.  Anything which requires much chewing is out, and I’m not wild about a liquid dinner, so that leaves…

Key Lime Pie!
