this day

So I really need to blog about Lydia and her birthday and Clint's blue and gold banquet...
But this morning when I woke up...my eye was fused shut with gunk..
(and I knew)
and it was red, and oh so sensitive to light
(it was going to be)
and I felt like I had shards, and maybe a sliver or two of glass stabbing into my cornea
(a horrible, no good, very bad)
and my optomotrist says..."I can see you in four days"
(day.)

Right now it sure would come in handy if I knew how to wink, shut one eye without manual force

It reminds me of when I was a nursing student, and I woke up with a corneal abrasion, but I still had to go to clinical. And my face was puffy, and my eye hurt, and my instructors put a giant patch on my eye, and told me to get busy with my assessments. As if seeing a nurse, all in white, with a nametag "Abby, Student Nurse" didn't make the patients get better real fast so they could make a run for it...I'm sure the eye patch was the clincher at instilling confidence!

(I think I'm moving to Australia)
