My eye feels better this morning; maybe I just irritated it poking around. Thursday I see the eye doctor anyway, so he can check then. I won't try to wear contacts until then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That sounds better, Zen. It's really hard to tell the difference between having a contact in the eye or just irritation.
Repeating my tag line over and over rather than continuing to engage with my bat-shit crazy SIL over Trump. Particularly since I will likely see her at Aunt's memorial later today. She generally finds an excuse not to attend family events, so here's hoping. However, since she is a self declared minister she will likely want to pray at us during the event. It would not be a surprise if she invokes Trump's name in her prayers.
Getting it out of my system here! I really don't get how a black immigrant woman, who claims to be devoted to Christianity, can support the piece of racist garbage in the White House. Fortunately a number of her Haitian friends are beating her up about her post so I don't have to say anything more than I already did. She spouted that she would never vote for a Democrat for president. I responded that I would choose my candidates not by the label of their party but by the content of their character, to paraphrase Dr. King.
As I said, I have stepped away, but am grateful that her friends are pounding her.
eta: I was curious as to whether she was even registered to vote, and she is, as a Democrat. Ha!. I get that a number of Haitians have Clinton issues, but I still don't see how immigrants can support Trump, ever.

It's harder when the crazy is coming from within your own family.

She was at the memorial and totally well behaved. No political stuff at all. Just hugs and proper social behavior. I was impressed.

Ugh. I've spent the last few days throwing up and then recovering. The last time I threw up so hard I pulled a muscle. I feel a bit better today. There was a Librarians marathon yesterday, which is exactly what you want when you're having trouble getting off the sofa.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Calli!

I'm very glad I have today to recover.

Oh, Calli, that sounds awful! I hope today is much easier on you.

No fun at all, Calli. I hope today is restful.

Thanks, y'all. I'm treating myself to grocery delivery as maneuvering a store seems fraught.
