Juicy Bits & It's Nothing to Do With Oranges

Actually that title has no relevance to what I'm doing to seek Great Auntie Di's help for. There are two issues.

Firstly, while listening to my MP3 player this week, I thought that the right in-ear earphone (that's what Sony described them as on website) seems to be producing a louder sound than the left. The more I think about it, the more it seems my theory is right. I've tried the one earphone in / one earphone out bit, swapped the earphones R to L / L to R & even resorted to standing in front of the mirror & seeing if the right earphone is pushed in further than the left. I'm now getting a complex & wondering whether I've personally got a hearing problem, a deformary in my left ear or subconsciously, I've been led to think that one is louder than the other. It's now obviously affected me so much that I need some guidance.

The 2nd issue is regarding my sleep. The week just gone, I've been going to bed earlier, around 11-11.30pm & getting up the usual time of 6.30am. I'm now feeling weary alot in the evenings around 6pm & even as soon as 3pm if I've had a big lunch. What should I do, as it's starting to affect my work & more importantly, my ability to write anything of sense on either blog.

Oh, just remembered a 3rd one. For the 1st couple of weeks here, I noticed my facial growth was at a lesser rate than when in N. Ireland, but now it's all changed & the complete opposite. I'm not concerned about giving a poor girl a rash on her face, the abaya takes care of that, but am somewhat worried that my Clinique after shave balm is nearly out & I can't find a replacement one to do the same job. What do I do, I'd thought of a beard as that will not affect by pulling powers here but may make me itch alot. Help me please.

So Great Auntie Di, there's a few problems I'm facing as I start another week. I look forward to your advice.
