Eyes Wide Shut

I’m officially sick. No go on work today. Called the Kaiser advice nurse and she wanted me to come in to see the doctor. I’ve got either a bacterial or viral infection that’s affecting my eyes. There’s a steady flow of eye mucous that caused me to run to the bathroom and flush out my eyes every hour last night. When I did finally get some sleep, the mucous crusted my eyes shut. Yeah, it felt as creepy as that reads. So I’m a sick, sleep-deprived, over-worked person whose face is raw from doing hot/cold compresses.

With little else to do today besides rest, I went and got my hair hacked. Not Miley Cyrus hacked, but short enough. I’ve gotten tired of dealing with long hair. It’s kind of a pain. I feel so free now! I’ll post a pic when I start to feel bacteria-free. I’m sure at some point I’ll regret it. I always do, but hair grows. It’s not the end of the world.

I also started seeing a new acupuncturist. My previous acupuncturists couldn’t seem to solve my problem of irregular periods. Is it really that hard to regulate? I complained to my doctor and he handed me a business card of someone he recommends highly. Turns out, this acupuncturist is only 3 blocks away from where we live so I’m very hopeful. Especially since this one is doctor-approved. She gave me an herbal tincture that I’m thoroughly enjoying; it’s very soothing.
