Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, Allyson. I've got nothing.

The Application trail isn't nearly as fun to walk.

Don't I know it!

Coding and Sleeping

How long does it take for the pain to at least dull after starting a course?

I would think it should start working in 24 hours if not sooner. Can you call the doctor's office that gave you the prescription and see if they can call in a prescription for numbing the pain? There are eardrops that can be used for the pain, I can't remember the name of the drug though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You know, I think a heating pad would help...but I do not have one. My niece got tubes in her ears because she was getting so many. Poor boo. I had no idea how painful it could be. I went to bed at 8 last night. The dog has been guarding me since I got back from the hospital. The pain is so bad I keep worrying about losing my hearing.

Oh yeah, they gave me drops. They're pretty useless, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Soak a washcloth and microwave it, then wrap it in another cloth so you don't burn yourself.

Ima go with Dana's plan and lie down. I don't know how little kids deal with this at all.

Because books.

Allyson, you can also turn a hair dryer on LOW and hold it near your ear -- not too close, obviously. Anything with a little heat will help.

Give the antibiotics another day, and use as much ibuprofen or whatever that you can.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have never had ear infections, so other please speak up, but would warm water IN the ear work?
