Ear infection is turning into a real doozy, I'm doing a good impression of the elephant man at the mo, eye is swollen shut and left side of my head is way fatter than usual.

It's lousy timing as we have house guests arriving tomorrow for rednecks birthday & I look like I've been brawling 😂

just tell them that the redneck beat you up, they'll understand...

Ouch. And lousy timing all round, given the holidays. They'll think you've been getting the bash :D

Oh man Trudi, did you get in to see the Doctor? You might actually have more then an ear infection going on. My sinuses did that once I was black and blue. Looked like someone beat me up.

 

It's an infection I get sometimes, starts in my inner ear and due to wonky design in there it can become a soft tissue problem real quick, it'll go away with a couple of days antibiotics (my ENT here is lovely, he actually listens and accepts I know what works for my ears) :)

Too bad! 

Maybe he shoulda thought about that before he beat you up!

He's a lot of things but he is neither that brave or that stupid, he would never raise his hand in anger to me

Not if he means to keep it attached to his arm any road.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

2.  We took aspirin, mega-Vitamin C, a Mexican antibiotic, and Nap #2 in very warm bed, ingest and zzz we man.  Awoke after 2 hours drenched in sweat, probably adios fever man. After-hours nooser had told us that we were probably beyond the incubation period for flu from Mrs. T-B., thankfully man.  We think that we were still run down from that Space Center debacle that nobody bonus-pointed man

Patty the chicken is doing better today. The blue goop I put on her head and face is keeping the bully from pecking her. She is also moving around but has not left the comfort of the coop today. Eating and drinking as normal. 

I'm thinking she must have sprained her leg when jumping off the  ramp to come outside. She is also the same chicken that was attacked as a small chic. Her wing is not fully functional now so no soft landings for her. 

Poor Patty :unsure: Glad she's eating and drinking as normal, though.

Hope you feel better soon, trudi!

 

Happy Friday! Maybe one day or 2 more of no-traffic in DC next week and then it all comes back to normal. Amazing how quickly time goes by around the holidays...
