Steph, I just saw this on their website:

Bonny, in the past I've had numerous chalazia - infections of the oil gland at the base of the eyelash. Amazingly painful and often leading to puffy eyelids. Usually at the least convenient time, of course. Treatment was usually hot compresses and antibiotic ointment.

This was very different, I'm afraid.

After much work on my part and looking like Quasimodo for a couple of days, the pain has gone down considerably and the interior wound seems to be healing.

Can I just say, OWIE.

My surrogate mom was aghast that I took care of it myself, rather than going to the urgent care. All I could say was NUH and UH with regards to someone else wielding an implement in that general vicinity. If there had been an infection, sure, but so far, so good.

Oh, balls. Well, thanks for mentioning that. Time to wrangle with Groupon.

OH MY G-D! SUPER-LOUD SPEAKERPHONE ON HOLD NOW!!!!

This morning, he ate something super-loud and slurpy for breakfast. It was really hard to control the murder impulse.

And now more fucking chewing.

What the fucking fuck did I do to deserve this misery?

Shouldn't have stepped on that ant in your last life, Sean.

Last night I dreamed that people were leaving corpses--or, sometimes, just the heads--in my home. I called the police, but they didn't believe me. It was a little disturbing.

The Colbert Report should be interesting tonight...

Finally watched last night because I am slow that way. I thought it was an excellent way to handle it. The Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report isn't the person replacing Letterman. His closing shows are likely going to be more about him leaving, not about the future. sniff sniff I will miss the Colbert we know and love, but I am looking forward to seeing more of his talent revealed.

I'm sorry Sean. It is good to have an end date.

Sorry, Calli. I slept like the dead. I have been sleeping well for many years now but it still comes as a delightful surprise after decades of insomnia. It's like every morning I wake and think, WOW I slept great! Then again, I notice that it is beautiful weather pretty much every day in Florida. That is likely because I didn't move here until I was 30 and had a lot of crap weather before then. I never take for granted either good sleep or good weather and am grateful for both.

I didn't sleep much at all, but had a weird dream too!

I was attempting to do surgery with a group of people who were totally Grey's Anatomy angsty. For some reason, our surgical masks were nylons ala bank robbers.

At one point, a voice said, "It is so much easier than you are making it." I became lucid at this point and asked, "What's the easier way?!"

You guessed it. No reply.
