Pain...

I've been hurting for the past few days... and, like usual, I'm being a cheapskate about it.

A few days ago, my right ear started hurting, in the ear-achy sort of way. It's not debilitating, just annoying. But it's also worrisome, because I don't know the cause. Is it an ear infection? Could it be allergies? Could the TMJ be the cause? Could to be from that tooth (on that side), that the dentists said might need a root canal someday?

I was going to go to the doctor this morning, but decided against it. It wasn't hurting as much, but the mornings are when the pain's the least. I'm too cheap to pay for the doctor and have it be nothing.

Besides, between the shower gift and some groceries, I don't really have the money for a doctor, a dentist or a chiropractor.
