When I forget I'm deaf....







So I've been having deaf amnesia lately....

Last night after a long clinical shift I decided to roll down my windows for the ride home to keep me awake. It's 11:30 and I'm belting out Adele songs....keep in mind, I can't hear myself or anything around me.
I pull up to my new village, this car next to me also has the windows down and I didn't think twice that other people can hear me so I kept singing and getting louder I'm sure..... I looked over and the guy was staring at me laughing and displaying "rock on" hands. I was MORTIFIED!! Next time I'll be sure my windows are up!

If that did not remind me of the fact that I can't hear, this morning was even worse....

I got up and wanted another apple cider from Tim Horton's so I decided to drive over and get one.  I pulled into the drive thru and sat there waiting for someone to ask me what I wanted to order for a good 5 minutes. I started yelling at the screen...ANYONE THERE?????? HELLOOO???? To my dismay I was like....duh.... I can't hear. So I pulled up to the window beat red in the face and was like.... :/ I'm sorry....all I wanted was an apple cider... and I just took off.

So if that doesn't remind me that I can't hear....I wonder what I'm going to do next.
