Hearing

It seems my hearing gets worse the older I get.
I have had my ears checked, and I was proud of the result. I had ear phones on, and had to click every time I heard a sound. My ears were good. In thinking about it, maybe they meant they were good for someone my age.
Ok I do get a build-up of wax in my ears, which needs to be dealt with from time to time. Previously a nurse would do it. Last time though, they pointed me to something to purchase and apply. Personally, I liked the old way better, as it involved less effort, and was dealt with immediately.
I like that when one capacity diminishes, the other senses improve to make up some of the difference. Hmmmm. My hearing is the improved me. Not a good look really.
Merril was driving home, and on the phone I thought she said a biglet would be good. Not only did I not know what a biglet was, I really wondered how I was going to do that. Fortunately she had said a coffee would be good. Now that, I can do. I make so many during the day, I reckon I have that one down pat. In my defence, the phone sound quality was not that good. I know I am clutching at straws, but I will take what I can get right now.
Last night they were talking about the floods in India. I really thought it was strange they would send a goat down the river to rescue people. I mean a goat has a really limited capacity. Besides, a goat could be really easily distracted. It might see something good to eat. What they said was boat.
Goodness knows what I have acted on in the belief I was to do one thing and I never heard it right. Still, it could be worse. Ok, I really need to think how, but give me a month, and I will come up with something.
I guess it is why I felt I could relate to the guy who had problems with his sights depth capacity. He wondered what sort of breed of cows the Welch had, that some were so big and some were so small. Turns out the small ones were at a distance.
Just like the eyes can play tricks on a person, the ears can too. I know, cause it has happens to me. Not regularly. Sometimes. Occasionally. Rarely seems good.
