Gosh, it seems I was whining about eye trouble just yesterday, but it was actually more than two years ago. Time flies.

( TMI about my latest eye escapade. Sorry, no photos! )

I broke my front tooth this morning biting into something. I actually have a filling in my front tooth and it broke in half and the half fell out. Now I have a (charming?) gap in my smile.

And I'm leaving for my trip tonight.

Sigh.

ETA: I've also lost my car keys.

I actually stayed home from work today because I have a wracking cough and conjunctivitis. My left eye is bright red and shoots lasers! Isn't that awesome?
Not so much.

So here are more pictures! :) Warning: lots of images.

For rezendi: My car!
( Vroom, vroom! )

For dedopossum: The inside of my fridge. With comparisons to 2004 and a bonus freezer shot!
( Food for thought )

For cheezaddict: My closet!
( The strange fuzzy things Ace wears )

For molly_mcb: A favorite area in the apartment.

Still need to post:( So I don't forget )Stay tuned!

Last night at around midnight, I had a massive allergic reaction to something and my right eye swelled almost completely shut (and I started hiving elsewhere). I immediately took Benadryl, sending myself on a very quick trip to "passed out land." This morning, while the swelling is better, it's still pretty bad. There's no way I can put in my contact lens and I don't have my new glasses yet (I lost my glasses a few weeks ago. Or perhaps the domovoy took them...). All I have is my old "Lisa Loeb" glasses and the protective coating on them has corrupted, so they're clouded over and I can barely see out of them, much less drive, work, etc.

If I wear an eye patch to work, everyone will make fun of me. That wouldn't bother me that much, except of course I can't find the eye patch either. Guhh...

Today's bit of good news: The store where everything cost $9.99 isn't closed, after all — not yet! It was supposed to close in early September, but I guess it will now stay open through the end of the year. I'm so pleased! I'll have to come back for a leisurely shopping spree. Hooray!

Today's bit of yucky news: I have a stye in my eye. Disgusting!! It's in my eyelid, and boy, it hurts right now. I'm putting a hot tea compress on it. I so can't have a major eye infection right now. I'd write more about this eye thing, but it's really too disgusting.

So, the people have spoken, and I guess I will try to make the "cup of coffee" costume. The question is, how the hell do I do it? Any ideas?

I've eaten way too many Girl Scout cookies today (made from real Girl Scouts, naturally), and I feel like I'm going to be sick.

Actually, I don't feel all that great -- all tired and drained and like someone took a big piece of sandpaper and rubbed the inside of my lungs & throat with it.

Must remember to buy Benadryl. And maybe fill Albuterol prescription...

I must confess that I love Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Despite not having cable, I've managed to see a number of episodes...

( Quiz Results #1! Which one of the Fab5 am I? )

( Quiz Results #2! Which of the Fab5 is my type? )

In other news, my repulsive sunburn has cracked and peeled and I think it's going to do it again.

I'm going to do one of those massive entries where I post about everything you ever wanted to know about what I've done lately (but were too afraid to ask).

Today's accomplishments:

( No more geocaching inside my mouth! )

( Also, I am a computer genius! )

And before that...

( There's no bench there. )

And before that...

( Drink! )

Having now abused the LJ-CUT in new and unusual ways, I bid you all good night.

Yesterday was a day filled with unexpected excitement, as I had to go to the student health center because of an excruciating stabbing pain in my right eye. One moment, I was peacefully sitting there, the next moment, my eye was weeping copiously and I had to close all the blinds because it hurt so much to look at the light. I then ended up having to drive myself to the doctor's office, because the only appointment they had was 45 minutes later and the bus didn't come soon enough.

Driving along while one of your eyes is crying and begging for mercy == exciting! I immediately got on my cell phone as well, just to be an even bigger hazard. (just kidding)

They diagnosed me with a scratched cornea and gave me special ointment for it. I got to wear a patch like a pirate. Arrrr!!! Now, I have no fucking clue how this injury happened, because I haven't been wearing my contacts lately, so nothing's gone into my eye. I mean, I guess it's possible that I got something blown into my eye somehow and rubbed it or something. There's enough crap flying through the air around here.

Anyway, today it's much better. It doesn't hurt at all. It's no longer bright red like it was yesterday. My eye is a one-hit wonder.

TMI Warning! Not for the easily grossed out!

So, earlier this evening, I found myself picking at what I thought was a pimple on my shoulder. Pick pick pick. Pick pick pick. It just wasn't behaving the way a blemish ought to. How unsatisfying!

Then I looked at it. Ah. Well. That would be because it was a mole! A bleeding mole now hanging gruesomely from my shoulder, clinging for dear life. So then it bled copiously some more. I've never seen this mole before. A new mole? And now, a very dead mole. Disgusting.

5-HTP is now making me overwhelmingly sleepy. I think I can live with that if it means I'll actually get stuff done.
