Good Evening Everyone;
I am late today-
Later still at getting to your own blogs.
My apologies for that, please don't drop me... yet.
Since it is Tuesday (still), I shall share ten thoughts with you.
1. We got a bit of rain today. (Say "YAY"). But not even enough to remove the two splattered bug guts from my windshield.
2. You don't find me tooling around for no reason.
The reason I was on the road was for a doctor appointment. I have an ear infection. This sucks. I thought 'kids' got ear infections, and that I should have long ago outgrown such a thing. (Mama would put some blue bottle of hot ear drops in my ears; then make me swallow a penicillin pill as she shoved cotton batting in my ears to keep the breezes out).
3. Ear infections are NO fun at all. (Nor is having drops in my ear, corked off with a cotton ball). SO reminiscent of my childhood days. (Tipping my head from side to side, or front to back, makes the oddest sounds. From within).
4. A different doctor today. She came in, asked if I was Anne, and asked what the problem was. Not a handshake or even a milkshake. (She looked in my ear, wrote the script and I was out of there in less than 2 minutes).
5. The pharmacy wait took much longer.
MUCH MUCH longer. And all for this itsy bitsy, teeny weeny bottle of drops. (Drops that when put in the ear sound much like a grenade going off at close range, or a 30-0-06)...
6. My sinuses and head and ear make me feel as though someone stuck a balloon in my ear, and then inflated it. I hear things from the inside. (Enough to psych me out as I listen to my heartbeat from the inside). Weird.
7. Punk is all better- Having had her to the vet on Friday, she has finally began to be a pain in the butt again. (I rather like her like this).
8. When the vet says he doesn't need a stool sample, remember to remove it from the car. Do not let it remain there- (After 4 days, it stinks up the whole car, no matter HOW plugged up ones nose is).
9. The loss of hearing made me miss the dryer as it shut off. I went in wrinkled clothes. (Gratefully my jeans are tight now that I gained 3 pounds. The fat gives the appearance of smooth anyway).
10. The loss of hearing also left me listening to the CD in my car as if it was only on AM radio. This AM radio effect also took me back to my younger days.
It was Delbert McClinton, "Room to Breathe"-
The above album title has, belatedly, struck me as downright hilarious.
Kinda like our old AM radios were...
Love to all. Please bring soup.
XOXO
Anne

ReplyDeleteMr. KhoolMan;
At this point I would settle for it just to pop and clear out.
ugh

Hi Anne!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the ear ache. Those always suck. I remember when I was little and would get ear aches my Mom would use sweet oil and a cotton ball. The sweet oil was in a little bottle... It always worked well too. If your drops from the doc don't work try some of that...
What has happened to all the doctors and their bedside manners??? I swear they are just there to get a paycheck. None of them really seem to care about how sick you are anymore... Where's the ol' timey doctors at?
If fat gives the appearance of smooth, I will NEVER have to iron any piece of clothing I own EVER again! LMAO!!!
I do hope you get to feeling better soon!
*pops balloon in your head*
*leaves bowl of potato soup*
*does happy snow dance on the way out* hehehe
*HUGS*
Love Ya,
Slurkie
Not had those dreaded ear infections in a long time. I can't say that I miss them either.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
Sorry about the ear infection. Yea I thought only kids got those. Well you're as young as ya feel !
ReplyDeleteLeaving behind my cure all chicken soup.
And some hugs oxoxoxoxo
You are one of a very select FEW that can get me laughing this hard in the morning!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better and I'm glad your pain in the arse (I mean Punk) is doing better as well.
Love to all!
Thers XOXOXO
Sweet Slurk!
ReplyDeleteKeep the damn snow dance in your corner of the US please.
Moms bottle probably came from the Watkins man.
(And she always made it too hot; which is in direct contrast to the drops I have now).
They are antibiotic though, so am hoping they will work, and won't have the same stinky side effects as taking an oral antibiotic.
Fat gives the appearance of smooth, but only IF the clothing is a bit tight.
...just not tight enough to give you gas either.
Especially if one has consumed potato soup!
(I do love potato soup).
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteOMG Sweet PeachieBaby!
They are even nastier than I remember- But not being able to hear (in stereo) was getting to be a huge pain too.
Especially when the cordless phone rang.
Sounds like it comes from another place than where it is, and I did more than a few pirhouettes looking for it too.
(Pirhouettes are NOT advised when ones balance is out of whack to begin with).
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteSweet Bug,
I lovee chicken soup too, sans dumplings though- It always makes me feel better-
(Now I not only have lunch, but dinner as well)!
Giggling at how young your comment has made me feel...
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteSweet Thers;
;-)
And you are one of a very select few that would not only laugh at my pain, but also admit you did.
hehehe
Turnabout being fair play, I do remember laughing when someone went ass over teakettles down the steps too.
XOXO
Me
I had a double ear infection right about a year ago. It was a side effect of some nastified nastiness that had me down for a week. (My Dr. thought I had Mono for a while) It took 3 more weeks for my ears to pop, and I credited that to generic walmart extra moisturizing nasal spray. Tastes yucky(Like tequila), but my ears were clear within an hour- NO I did not drink it, it drained down the back of my throat. Glad Squishy is feeling better. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABRIEL ANGEL!!
ReplyDeleteAnd when I decided to think it was a good idea to be dancing around in the shower AFTER rubbing myself down with baby oil.....OOOOWWWWWWWAAAAAAA that left a mark!!!
ReplyDeletehehehehehehe....
Love you to the moon and back!!
Thers
xoxoxoxo
awwwwww I'm sorry you're sick hon,,,,,,,I hate ear infections, they hurt and throw your balance off. I hope you feel better soon, I dont like drops I always go the oral antibotics way. looks like ya got enough soup! On the bright side Palin Biden debate tomarrow! hey maybe gb will start winning again and that will make you feel better..braaaahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww I am sorry you have an ear infection those are no fun at all!! Ugh on the drops too!! I Hoe it will go away fast! I am so happy to hear that your dog is doing good! YEAH!!!! Hoping the drops are helping it to feel better! Big hugs yoru way!!
ReplyDeletePoor Annie!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear about Punk, but now you are down and out, which is not good at all!!!
I hope you feel better soon!
Healing herbs for ear infections
- St john's wort
-Mullein
-Parsley
-Garlic
-Echinacea
Home remedies for ear infections:
-Hold a warm compress to the ear. Inhaling steam also can help.
-Gargle with warm salt water to soothe a sore throat and help open blocked ears.
-Drink plenty of water or other clear liquids.
-Use pillows to raise the head when lying down. This helps drain the middle ear.
-People with allergies can get relief from over the counter antihistamines.
-Decongestant nasal sprays can be used to open the ears.
-Over the counter drugs like aspirin ibuprofen, or acetaminophen can help with pain.
I'm glad to hear that Punk is better but sorry that you are feeling under the weather now! There are few things more annoying than an ear infection. And what's with the new doc? I hate a doctor that acts like they are too busy to spend a few minutes with you. I realize they have other patients to see, but honestly, when I'm sick, I don't give a flip about them! Anyway, feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S why I've had gas all these years!! Here I thought I should buy beano, I just need looser clothes! (Or maybe I should just cut back on all the good food I like to eat so much?!)
ReplyDeleteOh and if your drops don't work... Try vick's vapo rub. Put a tiny bit on a cotton ball and stick in your ear. The vicks numbs the ear and opens up your head... This one works also (I used this remedy about a month ago)
*HUGS2U*
Slurkie
...EWWW!! You didn't!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the ear drops.
I'll let you go, since you probably have ironing to do.
(Punk, keep giving her a hard time - she likes it!)
hehehe
ReplyDeleteSweet Stange;
Your dr. would have done a blood test for mono?
My ear popped a few times late last week... Now nothing- But YAY the drops went down/through this morning, but gosh did that hurt.
Wonder if they put drano in them?
I have Flonase. And use Ocean all the time.
Then there's the Similisan that I'd bought for Punk
Generally this combo will open up my ears. Not this time.
So then I called.
XOXO
Me
PS
Master Gabriel would thank you personally if he didn't have rotovirus.
But he'll be here this weekend.
er, hopefully...
hehehe
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the baby oil...
I've done a few skating maneuvers in the tub too after using the Skin So Soft. So now I just wait til I'm out.
Unless I'm sunburnt. I won't put oil on a new sunburn.
I don't dance, but lord only knows I can sing in there.
And NOW I can do it louder since I can't hear myself anyway.
XOXO
me
I'm sorry too Sweets!
ReplyDeletehehehe
(Was that a shot at my beloved Pack)?
hehehe... As I have the Brewer Game on now...
Do NOT take oral antibiotics unless you can't freakin' breathe- They are SO bad for you- and kill off all the GOOD bacteria in your system too. Oh, I was happy not to have to take those.
Now about the debate- Will that be run under 'comedy' or 'drama'?
XOXO
Me
Sweet Sheri,
ReplyDeleteThe ear infection must be in my eye now... I think I just read that you called me a hoe.
Well crap. Now that I check, Punk didn't eat her breakfast this morning. I shall have to get these dogs to the woods shortly, and MAKE her hungry. I have to admit that I have been off my feet here for a bit too-
The dogs HATE it when I don't feel well enough to, ahem, go take a hike...
XOXO
Me
hehehe Sweet BethieBaby,
ReplyDeleteI might be down and out, but have not been down for the count yet either.
...knocks on wood...
I did the heat compress too.
I tried sleeping with that ear up, with it down.
I tried shaking it like a dog.
Short of real drano, I tried every compound within my little medicine cabinet-
I even took some old TheraFlu, which makes me wackier than normal but wouldn't unclog my ear either.
Honey.
Lemon Tea. (yuck).
I take garlic daily. (Which is probably why I'm single).
hehehe
I gargled.
I spit.
I spewed.
I hung upside down.
I jumped UP and down.
And it only made a few sad "whooshie~thumpie noises...
So after all that, I finally decided to go to the doctor and have him make it go away.
I still can't hear out of it.
(But that's ok because there's probably 50% of life I don't care to listen to anyway).
XOXO
Me
I shall grab some echinacea on my way to the woods.
You are right Sweet Christy;
ReplyDeleteIf it hadn't been presumptuous I would have just said, "never mind who I am, just give me the drugs and I'll be gone.
She did ask if I wanted anything for the pain.
WHAT? (I think my jaw just about fell to the floor).
Yeah I guess it is sore. No, beings that I gave birth 4 times (and have a multitude of other things), I don't think I need anything for my silly ear.
Maybe a plunger?
Oh wait I tried that too. (By cupping my hand over it in the shower).
XOXO
Me
Sweet Slurkie;
ReplyDeleteSave the $ for the beano. Leave the top button loosened.
I would have killed to have had some Vicks in the house this past weekend.
First my right nose, then the left was plugged too.
But no Vicks. (Silly me, I'd sent it with Casey when she moved out).
If we had a plugged nose, that vaporub would be put on a little hanky for us to breathe all night when we were kids.
If we had chest congestion it would get rubbed on our chest.
A miracle in a jar.
XOXO
Me
Sweet RT;
ReplyDeleteEWWW is right.
I thought I would die when I opened that car door to let Punk in.
hehehe SHE even hesitated. Turned and looked at me as if "don't blame me"...
(Why am I thinking of "Cheech and Chong" right now, and being grateful I didn't step in it)???
Nah. No ironing for me.
I throw a well dampened dish towel in and turn it on for 20 more minutes on low.
(Works like a charm)!
;-)
Time for me to run to the woods with these beasts.
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteTruth be known I do only have one nose.
Two NOSTRILS though.
I have been sitting here LAUGHING for 10 minutes... I'm sure everyone in the house thinks I'm CrAzY, they're not far from the truth LMAO! I honestly knew what you meant to say I didn't even give it a second thought till you posted the above.... And now I can't stop giggling... Thanks for giving me my laugh for the day!!
ReplyDelete*HUGS2U*

Hi Mommy!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that the ear infection is still bothering you... At least the other doc checked out your ear today and told you that it was water-logged... Now what sense is it to put liquid into an ear that is full of liquid? I dunno... I guess that's why medical school is $120,000 or more: you get to do things the hard way and forget common sense because you substituded it with pharmaceutical companies! Sorry, harsh words, but I'm not amused with doctors lately. Of course, I don't think I was ever... But enough about me...
If I could make chicken soup, I would bring you some. Unfortunately, my mom makes the best soup around and she has no recipe. She is also quite sick so she can't make it herself. But I would if I could! I know that doesn't help though...
I am hoping that your ear has dried out by now and that you are sleeping comfortably!
Love you Much Much!
~CaseyAnne
Confession time.
ReplyDeleteI giggled too; soon as I'd reread that one.
XOXO
Me
Sweet Mo;
ReplyDelete...But I think the 'liquid' in there is directly FROM the drops I have been told to put in.
So confusing these odd doctors are!
...shakes head...
...ear is still plugged...
Funny, I think maybe YOU are responsible for 'cornfoosing' them.
You call the clinic and they all either go into hiding or panic mode.
hehehe
OK, I know that's not true, but sure seems like it some days.
Let's face it, contract health and the phlebotomist even recognize you.
I really CAN make some chicken soup. Just don't have any chicken to do so with at the moment.
Maybe I shall rectify that today.
And I do have recipes for everything I make. Just that all of them are in my head.
(Thankfully my ear prevents them from spilling out).
Love to you!
XOXO
Mama D.
I am very late and I apoligize for that..so much is going on grrrrrrrrrrr..I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well (although this is now Saturday so I hope you're better by now)..I used to get sinus infections from you know where, but since moving to Texas I think I've had 2 in 5 yrs..not bad!!!
ReplyDeleteHugsss and lots of love to you my friend..please stay well xoxo
Well, Rock.. I dont know how I missed commenting on this one... Hope you know I wasnt ignoring you and I hope your feeling much much better by now..
ReplyDeleteMy first thought about this doctor.. you have an ear infection.. ok.. but what caused the ear infection? Did she even check to see if maybe you had a sinus infection that caused it all? Maybe you went skinny dipping and didnt get all the water out of your ear? Shes treating a symtom of some other problem possibly.. whats up with that?
Now your not saying you actually left bagged poop in your car for more than 4 days are you? EWWWWWWWWW!
Now exactly how many noses do you have? A left one and a right one? Silly woman!
Hugs to you and leaving you a big bowl of JT's famous chicken soup... You know hes the bestest cook (sometimes)hehe
Luv ya
