Fantasy Football

I’m not quite sure why, but I’m trying this out. As part of my purchase of NFL Head Coach by EA, I got a free commisioner’s package to their fantasy football product. This lets me set up a league that people can join to play. Normally it costs $50 to do this, and I’m not quite sure why you would, because that seems like an awful lot. Anyway, if you don’t know what Fantasy Football is, it’s basically organized math. You end up with a roster of existing NFL players, and each week you specify which players are participating. After their real-life games are played, the statistics are tallied and compared with whomever you’re playing against that week in the league. Whomever got the most points wins the game for that week. It’s free so I’ll try it. *shrug*

So last week I managed to get not only an ear infection, but a skin infection too. (which sounds creepier than it actually is) And I went in this morning for a followup. The skin infection is gone, but my doctor couldn’t figure out if the ear infection is actually gone (she and I think it is, since my ear doesn’t hurt) because my ear canal is so windy. She gave me a referral to an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor for a follow up. In the meantime I still have a bunch of crap in my ear because it won’t drain. :P It hasn’t affected my balance or anything but it’s just annoying to not be able to hear well out of my left ear (which is the ear I normally use when talking on the phone.
