Kelt, you really shouldn't let the water sit so long. It could really become a problem later on. There are products for swimmer's ear that will help dry up the water or, if you have plenty of time, you could lay your head down on a folded up towel and let it drain naturally on each side. Rubbing alcohol is drying as is hydrogen peroxide but use them sparingly and carefully and I always mix each with water. I know, weird, when the issue is water. Also, you could get one of those bulbous squeezy things used on babies. They are usually blue. They can suck some of the water out too.

I also found this at ask.com. I haven't tried vinegar before but I can see where it would work.

To drain water out of the ears after swimming, you need a towel, rubbing alcohol and white vinegar. Slant your head to the side and tug earlobe to straighten the ear canal and discharge blocked water, do the same for the other side. Rest on your side with a towel under your head and pull the earlobe to straighten the ear canal. With a medicine dropper, squeeze a solution of 1/2 rubbing alcohol and 1/2 white vinegar into the ear. You should hear a gentle crackling as this mixture evaporates trapped water. Tilt head to drain the fluids.

As for myself, my body is just not feeling it lately and I'm not sure why. I got more sleep last night but I don't think it's enough. I prepared to go to the gym but I literally felt fatigued and thought it best to let it go. The gym will be closed by the time I get out of work tomorrow, so I'll have hauling boxes around and cleaning as my workout.
