Panic

I had a little moment of pure panic this morning. This is what happened...

The very first thing I do when I get out the shower is clean my ears out with a Q-tip. It drives me absolutely crazy if I have water in my ears. So I got out of the shower and stuck a Q-tip in my ear, when I pulled it out the cotton was not on the end of the Q-tip but still in my ear! My initial reaction was to put the stick back in my ear. I think I was hoping it would magically stick back onto the stick and come out but that was not the case. The only thing it did was push it in further! At that moment I was panicking on the inside. I had to say out loud to myself, "Do NOT panic, stay calm!" I was thinking oh great, I am going to have to go to the hospital to get this cotton out of my ear. That was when I spotted my tweezers. I picked them up and stuck it into my ear, grabbed that little stinker and pulled it out. The entire incident lasted less than a minute... a minute of pure panic and anxiety. What a positive way to start my day!

Note to self: Never buy dollar store Q-tips again!
