Tubes in my ears?

So I yet again went to the doctor about this sickness thing. I still have my ear infection that I had the week before labor day. It seems they are at the end of options for helping me get over the ear infection and cough. The cough is caused by stuff still running down my throat but being coughed out (sorry, prolly TMI) but that's how it is. The doctor set me up an appt with an ENT to measure the tubes in my ears and decide if they are going to have to put tubes in my ears. I'm 24 years old and they are considering tubes in my ears. I thought that ended when you were little.
We still have the stupid mouse in our house and again, we are out of options for catching him. We have several snap traps, the little box traps they get in but can't get out of, and sticky traps. He has migrated from just the kitchen to Lara and Stacey's room. As of now, Shannon and I haven't seen him in our rooms. I think we have given up and decided that since he's such a smart little critter and out smarter every option, he might have just earned the right to live with us.
On another note, Aaron payed for me to come out to New Mexico where he is taking a class for work so that we can go to the Balloon Fiesta. I am so excited to head out there and spend time not only with him but watching and attending the Fiesta and seeing all the really neat balloons. We are attending a dinner at the house of one of the guys giving the class I believe. He's also planned everything out for the whole weekend which is a wonderful trade off as I usually do all the planning. It's going to be a wonderful weekend, very relaxing, and I am ready to be there now.
