sprinkles ~ma all around

lots of ma~~~ going out to all

Lots of ~ma for everyone.

Speaking of such, I wonder if anyone has experienced something icky that I'm dealing with right now...just for reassurance.

The lid of my right eye has been a tiny bit puffy and painful over the last couple days. Allergies, stye, etc?

NOPE.

Whitefont 'cuz ick: It turns out I had a very old, quite large sebaceous cyst UNDER my lid, next to

my eye.

Seriously, how does that even happen!?

Through a series of steps I will not describe, I discovered it was super old and was not able to totally fix it, but the lid is less puffy and painful, so I am hopeful that I won't need further intervention.

Has anyone ever even heard of such a thing?

Has anyone ever even heard of such a thing?

No, but I'm not entirely surprised. People get things like ingrown eyelashes. I'm sorry though! That sounds yucky and painful.

I've had a few friends having to get those lanced and there's always that element of being grossed out by your own body, but it's really not uncommon.

So painful. Honestly.

I've certainly had such things on other parts of my body...changing in consistency as I get older...but nothing ever so difficult as this particular location.

On one hand, I'm glad it isn't an ingrown eyelash...which I imagine is just as painful...at least this way, it isn't an actual infection.

Grossed out pretty much covers it, but I am trying to be practical about it!

Ugh. Bodies are kind of gross.

I would say "why are we not all brains in jars" but then we'd still have feelings, and I'm feeling anti-feeling this evening (went out to karaoke, saw the ex, she sang a very sad song, I felt all full of feels, and do not want).

Home now. I have swapped the plates (to put my handicap plates on). It's been a long time since I purchased a car, and this was the first time from a dealership. It takes a LONG time. Oy. But, it was a good experience. Nice people. Thing that slowed it down, silly me had last years insurance card. Was on hold FOREVER with insurance company, to get a fax of my insurance card.

SJ, best of luck!

Bonny, ick. Nope, haven't heard of that. Hope it clears up quickly.

There was more. But, I was a bit preoccupied today. ~ma to all that need it!

You got the car, omnis? Awesome! Enjoy!

Thanks ! It took a great deal of self control to NOT play with the buttons while driving.

I've got the manual on the iPad. And yes, I am reading it. Found how to set the bloody clock (it's only 11 hours off).

I managed to find a place to stow the crutches. Need to figure out where to clip the gate and garage door openers. Seems the sun visors are kinda subset into the roof. And are thick. And the clickers clips don't like either of those facts. Also, can't fit my Nalgene bottle in any of the cup holders. It was almost a deal breaker. But the "ev" button woo'd me. I've wanted that button for 10 years!!

Yay new car! Very exciting. You may have to stow the openers in the door pocket. Mmmmm buttons...

Ouch, Bonny! That sounds like a lot of no fun. I hope it cooperates quickly.

meara, also ouch! Feelings are complicated, and often not welcome.

Possibly a result of medication, or possibly just having way too much on my plate, but the last few months I have had a marked increase in emotions, or at least they are way closer to the surface. My friends and family have been teasing me about it. My son says I have an anger issue and husband accuses me of becoming a shrew. Seriously, they are both totally kidding about that and do it in a joking manner only because they have never seen me upset and think it is about time. I also laugh easier and cry easier. The NCAA tournament had me fighting tears both for the defeated team and the victorious team every game! The bursting out laughing is a surprise too. As much to me as anyone else. (laughing at funny stuff, not random and maniacal!)

I told the doctor yesterday if it was side effect I would deal with it, as well as the weight gain issue. This is the 4th medication tried and I remain clear headed and balanced on my feet so I'll take it rather than try others. I need my brains!

Back to work with me...
