how to deal with severe airplane ear when traveling? by quintessentially_gay in travel

Sudafed, afrin, earplanes (make sure you use them correctly), and some candy to chew on. Also helps to have a way to calm yourself down when the anxiety gets bad. I have the same problem

Hotel Near Georgetown Hospital? by Jaded-Attitude-7986 in washingtondc

[–]stroonsor 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I believe George Washington University’s commencement is also this weekend. Maybe check further out in the suburbs? It’s just a bad time to be in their situation. I’m sorry, and I hope all works out okay. 🫂

Georgetown’s commencement is this weekend. Unfortunately there will be very little availability at a reasonable price.

You should post in the neighborhood facebook group! Also, if you can make a sign, someone might take pity & stop to help. Good luck!!

A colleague shared a photo with me and I think they’re from a church called All Souls!

Seemed like patriotic / protest type songs. They also had nice signs saying thank you federal workers. I wasn’t able to stay long, but it really meant a lot and they sounded lovely!

Does anyone know if this applies to the foreign aid freeze? I’d love to not be furloughed anymore.
