Home Alone

"For a moment today I was regretting living by myself and that I don't know my neighbors well. I prefer the sort of headphones with the ear buds. The rubbery cover of a bud got stuck in my ear canal. I couldn't get it out at first. I pictured knocking on a neighbors door and handing my tweezers to a near stranger to assist me. I got it out by myself eventually."
