Lots of chill-ma and speedy-recovery-ma for you Suzi!

Started to post this and then left for dinner:

Mindful eating - take a tiny bite and savor it. And, uh, good luck. Watch the alcohol, since yanno, people don't care that they make poor decisions after they've had a drink or two. Cap'n Obvious, signing off.

Has earwormed me with "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde. Please report back if you meet any non-sparkling vampires when you take Frankie for a walk.

I know not this song, and clearly must remedy that. I did not go to the bayou today - another day.

I went to my friend's and we were productive with Xmen in the background. I started updating my resume and sent a few networking emails. My former coworker is going to send me some stats tomorrow, and I don't think my resume will need much more; it's still sparkling (in a good way) from the polishing Erin gave it.

Came home, finally signed a lease (MEEP), put together my Lucero Recruitment Mix. Neighborlady took me for food and drinks.

And now I'm exhausted. Bed time!

I am back from eating all the cheese. Well, I would have if I could have! I refrained. I did try to eat mindfully. They had lots of fresh fruit and veggies to nibble on, plus some roasted veggies, too, so I was able to alternate a little cheese with something healthier to help mitigate all the fat in cheese. And I stuck to plain water. I also found myself wandering around the exhibit room for 2 hours, because they didn't have enough chairs for the 400 people who had tickets. So, while I in no way burnt off all the calories I consumed, I feel that I did the best I could. I'll just add an extra 20 minutes to my daily workouts for the rest of the week and call it even. But, OMG, some of the cheeses! There was one from Croatia, a cow's milk cheese with black truffles in it. NOM. It was one of the few I went back for seconds on.

smonster, sounds like you've got everything well in hand. Sleep the sleep of the just!

Paging Steph - I'm an idiot and tired and don't know how this happened, but I sprayed some of my allergy meds into my eye. I flushed it out with cool water for a while and all the literature is very helpful as to how one should (usually in bold) avoid at all costs spraying it into one's eye. But no details on what happens next? aside from the obvious damage to my ego. DH doesn't seem to be worried, but that's just because - well, DH is never worried. Which worries me. See where I'm going with this? Hopefully not blind.

I know not this song, and clearly must remedy that.

Consider yourself remedied.

Sox, what drug is it?

astepro - perscription. the one with 'do not spray in eyes' in bold on the label. and everywhere else on the internet.

ETA

You would think, if it's so important, they'd at least tell you what happens next.

ETA2 - Though it would be very funny if Steph came back with Do not spray in eyes! though maybe just to me.

I found one website: [link] It at least contains the quote "Keep the spray away from the eyes because this medicine may cause irritation or blurred vision."

Well, I read a few different drug information Web pages on astepro, and they do all say "Do not spray in eyes; if you DO spray in eyes, immediately flush with cool water." And the thing is, what they *don't* say is probably pretty significant here. If there was a risk of your eyeball bursting into flame or jumping out of the socket and fleeing, I think drug information sites would say "Warning: if sprayed in eye, flames may shoot from eye; go to ER immediately."

So I think since you flushed your eye out, you'll be fine. I haven't found anything that says "Even if you flush out your eye, YOU ARE FUCKED." The "worst" I found said "If nasal spray is accidentally sprayed into the eyes, bathe them with plenty of water. They may sting for a while."

My best guess is b/c it's formulated with citric acid, so you want to flush it out well. Which you did.

I know the big freaky warnings are scary and make you think that your eyeball will shoot flame at any minute, but I think they just excessively stress that warning so people won't let citric acid sit on their eyeball. Some people would do that. Or just, you know, rub their eye for a while and not know why it still fucking hurts.

I really think your eye is going to be okay. If it continues to concern you, you could put a cold compress on it. But I think your eye will live to see many, many, MANY more days.

That's already 100% more information than I had - we are mighty. Thank you. I'm over here thinking, maybe no one's actually done it and lived? Maybe they've exploded into confetti after 20 minutes so no one really knows anything except It's Bad.
