It was sunny and warm when I got up

It WAS sunny, not so much now. The temperature is not bad, but it is getting very cloudy, and windy.
I have heard that our weather is going to be kind of cool until the end of March. This is not really usual, if I remember correctly. Of course every year is different.
I am going to get a referral to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist, because my right ear still sounds as if I am in a barrel.
Bob has been up a while, but still has not eaten breakfast of taken his morning meds. I think I am going to make lunch for us and make him eat some.
We shall probably have a baked potato topped with sausage gravy and some fruit on the side, because that is something I can make quickly.
I am pretty certain I shall just putter around inside today. Outside does not look inviting at all.

I hope by now you know what's going on with your ear. I hope it's better. Bob sounds like he's still not 100%. I hope he's better too. Sausage gravy sounds sooooo good!

I got more antibiotics and they pretty well have done the trick, along with some extra over the counter allergy meds.

Yes, I agree. A little heat is good. Not too much.

@GardenGerty Just last night, I can't sleep. The stand fan was directly at me, but I still sweat

My ears get like that when I have a cold or when my allergies are bad. As a kid I just never could hear well from fluid in my ears. Two days ago it was like that again and I kept having to tell people to yell because I couldn’t hear them.
We had baked potatoes for dinner last night which I am not fond of so I only ate one but my husband had quite a few and said he could eat them every night.

This was fluid behind the ears,and extra allergy medicine as well as more antibiotics helped.

It's nice and warm today. Well it didn't start that way, but it's going to get better so I won't complain to much about that.

Complaining does not really get us anywhere, anyway.

It’s relatively nice here…much better than the past couple of days. I guess winter is going to give us 12 full weeks, even if it has to stretch it into May! (The local meteorologist pointed out that it snowed on Derby Day [first Saturday in May] after our least-snowy winter!)
Hope you have a great day. I really hope you get your ear healed. I hate ear infections.

It seems it was fluid behind the ear drum, infection in the glands. More antibiotics are the cure for everything just about.

The day was partly cloudy and 35F this morning at 7 am when I left the house to go get my monthly shot. It started raining at the doctor's office while I was in the waiting room and stormed on me while I was driving home around 11:30 am. It's still storming at 12:35 pm... It has warmed up to 55F now, though... The high is supposed to reach 60F by late afternoon... but still supposed to be storming...
There is a wind advisory and flood watch for my area. *sigh*
I hope you guys enjoy your day... A baked potato with some stuff on it sounds good, too.

We have not really gotten much in the way of storms. . . yet. I bet we will at some point.

@GardenGerty We've had several storms since I wrote that response. I don't mind rain but the predictions for this weekend include hail, thunder and lightning.

Did you try ear drops?
I have been dispensing ear drops on Yvonne's ears for ages and it has made.no difference.
Glad it's not cold there.
We went from really cold to quite mild over night.
Strange indeed

There was fluid behind the ear drum. Drops do not help that. Allergy nasal spray does. Plus I was given more antibiotics.

@GardenGerty
I wondered if an anti histamine would help Yvonne.
Must try and persuade her to see the doctor again
Maybe she needs anti biotics

Oh, I am sorry you have ear problems. I fight that too at times, it's just maddening. Hope you can get to a good Dr. soon.
Cold, gray and dreary hear, it's rained for hours and is supposed to rain the rest of the day and all night. Honestly, cold rain makes me colder than snow does, I don't know why but it always has.

Snow can trap warmth in pockets of air, rain soaks you and pulls the warmth out of you. My ear is much better now. I have had more medicine and increased my allergy medicine for now.
