Does anybody read these?

No, seriously.

So, I wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating eye pain. It was so painful that I willingly put on my eye patch. I wanted to call in at work, but it's pretty lame to call in on the first day back from vacation. So, I kept my eye patch on and headed off to work, where I have sat in the office and went through weeks of newspaper clippings for various things. It doesn't involve looking at the computer, although I seem to be doing better.

I left work to go to the eye doctor, hoping she would give me some eye drops to numb my eye. And besides, I didn't really understand why my allergies would bother just one eye.

Well, they wouldn't. It's not my allergies bothering me; it's some sort of infection. And if it's not improving by Thursday, then I'm going to a specialist.

Of course, if it's not improving by Thursday, the pain could possibly do me in. I'm sure I'll be better once I start my antibiotics. It already feels better, but I have been eating advil like candy and wearing a very sexy eye patch all day.

I think the worst part is that the new contacts I put in on vacation get to be thrown in the trash because they are contaminated. That sucks.
