So I've had this midly annoying cold all weekend. Not too much stuffiness, mainly a really sore throat. But I managed to sleep well Sunday night, so I went ahead and did work and Symphony Chorale rehearsal yesterday. In hindsight, probably not the best of ideas.

I'm prone to ear infections, so when I woke up last night at 3 in the morning with the familiar pressure and pain, I knew what was going on. Trouble was, I don't yet have a primary doctor in this town, so I had no one to really go to. Emergency room is always an option, but a damnably expensive one, even with decent insurance. Finally at about 5:45, the pain makes the decision for me...even if I HAD a doctor, I couldn't wait around for him to be able to see me. I needed a doctor now.

As earaches go, this was a doozy. By the time I got to the Emergency room, I couldn't do anything but pace around in circles until they could see me. By the time I was seen, the pain had me frozen in position.
Nice thing about emergency room visits, they go quickly. I basically informed the doctor what was wrong with me...he took a look in my ear, nodded his head, and came back a few minutes later with the prescriptions...including one for some heavy duty pain killers. Bless the people who invented Wallgreens 24 hour pharmacy...by 7:15 I was back in bed, pills taken.

Most of the painful pressure has now subsided, thank goodness. I'm still hearing like I have a fishbowl over my head, and my throat and head still ache...but at least the antibiotics are doing their thing and I should be better soon.

Please, if you send vibes (and they are welcome) include some for DB Jed. He had to get up for work at 6:30, and I'm afraid he was up for awhile before then, thanks to my pacing around in the living room. Poor guy is going to be tired today...

GET WELL SOON, ANNE!

And don't worry about Jed. He's young.

I had a delightful lunch of grilled sole with crisp sauteed veggies and a delightful saffron rice with some heat added.

It was most tasty and MOST HEALTHful!

I think I'd rather have this tumor of a cold sore than what you've got. I hate, hate, hate earaches. Get well soon!

The weirdest thing happened. I'm reading this book called Something Blue (by Emily Giffin). It's summer 2005 so I knew I hadn't read it before. But it seemed so familiar and it was driving me crazy. Anyhow I just looked up her first book (Something Borrowed) and it says that the 2nd book (the one I'm reading now) is the same story but told from another character's point of view.

Now why on earth does it not say anything about that on the book jacket?!?! I thought I was going crazy. But in one of the first chapters we have our narrator (Darcy) walking in on her fiancee and her best friend (he was hiding in the closet). But in book 1 the narrator was the best friend! I actually wish that I hadn't read the first book so long ago!

When I was in Jr. High I read a book that was told (in a single volume) in two different perspectives. It was a love story, and one side was the girl's story and the other side was the guy's story. You flipped it over to read the other side. I read the guy's side first and then I read the girl's and thought she was a ninny.

It seems to me that TAR has done 2 hour episodes before.

And now that the Gaghans are gone, I am afraid I might lose interst. But I will tape it tonight and watch it later in the week.

I want to be a Gaghan!

I sho' does. Which reading did you do here? Something for the B'way Jr. On Tour (BJ on Tour, we call it)?

Why, yes, it was BJOT. And if was still acting it would be a sore subject. Luckily, I am not, so I don't give a rip anymore. At the time, however, it was rather an awkward and humiliating time in my life. Of course, pretty much all of 2005 was like that. On December 31, I am going to party like it's 1999, and the year 2006 will be greeted with a rapture you will not believe. FU, 2005.

But I digress.

Anyhoo, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gabriel. Love him. And please give him said love when you see him. I haven't seen him in forever.

Yes, DR vixmom, I still have your address. I haven't made your DVD yet, but will get to it at some point today or tomorrow. I watched the show myself (more on that later), but I will edit out the commercials for you so you won't have to be bothered with that. I don't mind watching the show again to do that.

Joy · « **Reply #163 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:16:42 PM »

DR Ann, one of the most vivid memories of childhood is an earache, the only one I've ever had that I remember; but boy, do I remember that pain! I'm glad it's subsided.

And you've perfectly illustrated a bizarre fact I discovered this morning. In an effort to figure out whether I should hit the emergency room or tough it out, I was doing online research on ear aches. Apparently people over the age of 12 are just not meant to have ear infections. Every single mention of them I could find was in reference to what you should do when "your child" has an ear infection. Adults just don't get them. I even typed in "adult ear infection" just to see what would happen. I swear my computer gave me a funny look.

I don't know if they're combing episodes or if tonight's AMAZING RACE is an extended one hour version, but the key piece of information is that CLOSE TO HOME is a ratings loser and CBS wants to move it out of direct competition with LAW & ORDER: SVU and BOSTON LEGAL for ratings sweeps.

And they're going to try it on Fridaay at 9 in the THRESHOLD time slot to see if GHOST WHISPERER is a more compatible a lead-in than AMAZING RACE was. THRESHOLD will be shown on Tuesday at 10 next week.

I enjoyed MEDIUM very much. The show is always different and unusual, and the dreams last night seems to be somewhat contradictory with each other, so that was fascinating, too.

Allison's children irritate me a lot.

Matt H. · « **Reply #170 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:34:42 PM »

After I finished MEDIUM, I put in THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS. I hadn't seen it in years, and I've had this version of the DVD on my shelf for a couple of years. No, I'm sure it's not as pristine as the new Paramount release of the film, but this version looked very good. There were a couple of places where scratches were present and a couple of little blips on the screen that probably were faulty telecine machine quirks. (I think I paid $4 for this disc used). But the contrast and sharpness were very, very good, much better than I was expecting having read that there were public domain copies of the film out there that were unwatchable. This was very watchable with quite a bit of detail. I think I lucked out with it.

Very enjoyable film which I enjoyed experiencing again after such a long time.

Thank you MattH , thank you!! I appreciate it whenever you get to it.

And I agree re the kids:

There was no line at all when I went to vote after lunch (around 1 p.m.) so I lucked out there. We're having mayor, city council, school board, and bond issues on the ballot, so it was an important election.

The worker said the voters had been steady all day, but it hadn't ever been really crowded.

How did you know? I stayed out of everyone's way and sat reading books and playing in the back playroom most of my formative years.

And I tried to keep the squabbling with my older brother to a minimum since he would think nothing of hurting either me or my records, books etc. My LI'L ABNER soundtrack still has a gigantic scratch across its side 2 face done by him for some nefarious reason.
