Not a long bus ride (about 30 minutes) but also not much homework yet, only math. It'll increase next week I suspect to include some language arts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A coworker my age (we've established not just that we were in the same year at high school, but that it was at the same high school) just called me "young lady" and insisted I was younger than her when I pushed back gently.
I'm pretty sure it's the socks. The CNN commenters tried to warn me about this...

The fourth pharmacy I tried had the meds, BTW. That's such a tiresome process. And none of them would call around for me, so potential sales were lost--Walgreens, CVS, Ralph's, and finally Rite Aid. Who also get the prize for fastest fill in, like, ever.
I honestly think it took me longer to navigate their "yes, I am who I said I am and the pharmacist told me to be good" checkout system than it took them to decant my prescription.
Technical issue fell in my lap again, and they took it right out, and I can't even put my ear to the door and find out how they're addressing it. I swear, I escalated it correctly this time, but I didn't realise I'd get cut out as a result.
I want to know what the answers are.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anyone know if there's an OTC ear drop with some kind of topical pain relief thing in it? I checked CVS, and all they've got is homeopathic.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hil, I would think a sinus med with pain reliever might be a good choice. I love Advil Cold & Sinus.

I'm already doing that, plus a prescription nasal spray. My doctor gave me prescription eardrops a few weeks ago that helped if I could angle my head the right way to get them to reach my eardrum, but I don't want to overuse them, since they've got antibiotics. I just used some anyway, though, since everything else isn't helping enough. I also sent the doctor a message saying that I've been taking all this stuff for a week and I'm still in a ton of pain.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Don't know if there's a dress code at my work place, other than for safety reasons.(No sandals or open-toe shoes in the lab, wear a lab coat, no shorts in the lab) Not having to wear a dress or suit every day is one small part of the appeal lab work has for me.
Although if I do end up going to conferences and presenting posters, I guess I'll need more business-y stuff.

Hil, maybe you need something with a steroid to reduce any swelling.

There's a steroid in the nasal spray, and in the ear drops from a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that what I actually need is ear tubes.

I'm just flying by to to check in. Grace is sick and I have a call into the pulmonologist. I too am sick, but I had such a happy class with my AP students today. We read Ron Koertge's poem "First Grade" and had a monster discussion. Too bad I have 50 kids in the class. How the fuck am I going to do this?
Off to grade 50 essays (from my other class). Do not want.
