Adulthood is full of pitfalls. But also cigarettes, liquor and porn, I guess. And if you want to have ice cream for dinner, no one can stop you. So, trade offs.

sarameg, I just called my local Honda dealership, and talked to someone in the parts department (I have some scratches on my own car that could use attention before they rust). He asked for a VIN number so he could match the color. You might want to have that handy and call the dealership before heading over.

Seeing out of my right eye doesn't look similar enough to seeing out of my left eye. I've tried multiple ways to tape it shut, but they're all bothersome.

I could work from home with this nightmare (at least it's dark here), but they don't want us to do that, so I will take a sick day instead.

Is it worth urgent care? Either it's leaking tears or the tear duct gets bunged up and it hurts even more until I unbung it, but it's not red or visibly irritated. I feel the irritation, especially if it's open, but you can't see it.

Maybe try rinsing it first? Or taking some sinus stuff?

That sounds like you'd want to see a specialist, no? I wonder if you can get a quick turn-around appointment at an ENT? (I realize the answer is probably no, unfortunately.)

I'd go to an ophthalmologist if it were my eye. They can do wonders with referrals, sometimes, and might be able to do something about it right there.

So sad, the Glasgow School of Art, designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, has been destroyed by fire. [link] [link]

Oh man, that is terrible.

Also, I forgot that the E in ENT is ears - -t is right, of course it's an ophthalmologist you'd want.

The fire at GSA is awful. All those students had just handed in their final projects, too, sometimes three and four years' worth of work.
