Mini Vacation!

I woke up at 5:40 am this morning.  lol  That's what I get for going to bed at 10 pm!  ;-p

When I was basically awake, I noticed my left eye was really bugging me.  It'd actually started last night.  Felt like something was in it, etc....so I rubbed it a bit, of course, but really didn't pay much attention to it.  I have bad allergies & rub my eyes almost constantly anyway...it's just a part of life.  lol  Anyway so it's really bothering me so I go look in the mirror.  Under my lower lid is really puffy so I start messing with it & can feel a bump in there.  On accident, while rubbing it, I pulled the lid down enough that I could see...THREE small pus pockets on the inside!  EWW!!!  WTF?!  So of course I had to Google it.  I think it's probably a sty but the ones on the insides of the lids are pretty stubborn & difficult to get rid of...aside from going to a Dr & having him lance it under sterile conditions.  Umm...yeah...no thanks!  ;-p  LOL  So not only is my left ear still fucked up but now my left eye is disgusting!  Really?!  *sighs*

I got up too early & got bored early so I ended up getting to work early (7:45!)  haha  I had to show off my newest ailment to everyone...lol.  Karen told me how to massage my sinuses to try & break up anything that might be in there causing trouble.  Claire had a fit over my eye & told Cindy I needed to go home & rest...LMAO!  Cindy ended up conceding...it was very slow & all 3 of them were there for the day anyway. So before I left at 1 pm, Cindy gave me a $100 bill & told me to take care of my eye.  ;-p  Claire had run home just before then to get antibiotic eye drops to use, too.  I will do the hot compress treatment, too & if it's not better by next Tue, I might go back to Urgent Care...ugh!!

I left & went to the bank to cash my check.  Then I tried to open a checking account there.  They do that Chex Smart thingy...& something popped up on mine.  WTF?!  She called off a name that absolutely doesn't sound familiar at all...& besides, I haven't had any of those kinds of issues in YEARS...so I have no idea!!  She gave me a number to call to find out what it is.  I'll call tomorrow...

Then I went to CVS to get 2 liter Cokes (on sale), some saline solution for my eye in case those pus things pop & some ear ache drops.  Then I went to get gas & air up my front 2 tires (the old ones still)...yeah, I'm gonna have the same issues with these that I had with the others.  *sighs*  Gotta replace them SOON!!  FFS.  lol

Got home & Mom & Bud were here.  Mom tortured the kids for a while by being in the same room with them & petting them...*laughs & snorts*  They're both so ridiculous!  ;-p  She brought a blackberry bush that she's going to plant out back.  I have to tend to it for her & I'll pick them when they're ripe but I don't eat blackberries...lol.  Bud finished the tile in the living room & dining area.  :-)  He's got the 2nd bathroom done (aside from the edges) & down the hall...about to go into one of the other bedrooms.  Slowly it's all coming together.  ;-)  I put the ear drops in & almost immediately my ear felt better.  And it's STILL ok...& that was...over 4 hrs ago!  YAY!  :D

Then the 3 of us went to eat Mexican food.  Yum!  I came home & they went to their house.  Now...I'm going to take a bath & deal with my eye for a bit.  I've got a crap-ton of movies expiring on NetFlix on the 1st & a couple on the 2nd so my vacation is apparently going to consist of watching movies!!  *smirks*  I don't go back to work til Tue...but Cindy will finish the Newsletter in a day or 2 & send it to me to send out.  I just HOPE I don't have the same issues I had with it last month...OMFG!!  That was just brutal!
