rejectomorphThursday I was plagued with an earache; the first serious one I've had in decades. I tried sleeping though it that afternoon, but it wasn't working. My hearing in my left ear was much diminished, which was not characteristic of the earaches I got when I was a kid. I have a small container of ear drops of some sort my sister gave me once, so I tried those, and they did seem to diminish the ache somewhat, and I finally fell asleep.
Though waking up several times over the next few hours I managed to stay mostly asleep until about ten o'clock in the evening. When I woke up the pain was almost gone, and my hearing much improved. I guess the eardrops worked. The instructions say to use four doses a day, so I have taken another even though the problem is mostly gone now. I did it just in case, even though I absolutely hate getting anything in my ears. Maybe I've dodged a bullet. We shall see.
Dinner had to wait until after my nap. In fact I didn't eat until almost two o'clock in the morning, after which I immediately began to feel sleepy again. I need to sleep at least three or four times a day now. I've kept myself awake as well as possible for about an hour, but I think I'm coming to the end of that. I'm barely functional. The post-midnight dinner dishes will have to wait until after I've slept again.
High of 92 predicted today. I could do without that. I won't get to.
