I kidna forgot to take the cough syrup this morning and no cough so far.

I mean it may develop later but I'm also afriad i'll jinx it.

I got a medicine dropper the other day and misplaced it. I'm trying to make homemade eardrops to help clear out the fluid in my ear. I keep reading a mix of rubbing alcohol and vinegar will help.

askye, the fluid is, in all likelihood, behind your eardrum, so eardrops won't help with that, because they can't get behind your eardrum. But they might make your ear feel better if it's been hurting.

oh I hadn't thought of that.

My ears started hurting again so I don't know what to do about it except take decongestants and hope that it helps. At some point I'll go back to the doctor and be like - please!

Decongestants should help some. Ear infections blow. (Seriously, when I had a gross infection in my outer ear -- the doctor honestly said "Oh my god!" when she looked in my ears -- I was relieved, because an outer-ear infection means that antibiotic ear drops will work. An infection in the middle/inner ear blows chunks, because nothing gets back there, and you have to hope oral antibiotics and decongestants will work.)

It's snowing again, and I'm feeling anxious being stuck in the house. Again.

Maria, ALL the -ma for your house woes. So much -ma.

askye, I don't want to jinx you but I'll just say a quiet "Go ears! Heal, body!"

I don't get sick often, but when I do, it's nice and gross, as well as hard to shake. So I know what you're going through askye. Hope you're on the other end now.

Maria, all the ~ma that things go your way today.

Catching up ...

I also have permanent dents behind my ears from wearing glasses all the time from when I was seven or eight until a couple years ago, when I had the cataract surgery.

And did you know - hummingbirds can snore?

BTW, re: cataract surgery, I'm seeing people talking about scar tissue that needs to be lasered off a couple of months after surgery. Is this something others have seen?
