Curse of the bloody eyball … because so far, I’m not too thrilled with 2008 - or perhaps the problem is that it’s not thrilled with me? I have been sick with various things since the beginning of the year, and if the joys of vomiting, diarrhea, a sore throat and a plugged nose that is going into it’s second week were not enough fun, I now have pinkeye. I am not sure which gods I ticked off this time, but whatever I did, I am sorry already!

Joy was going to make me go to urgent care today but since the eye has stopped producing mass quantities of a pistachio-pudding looking substance, we’re hoping its on the mend. I also have a bit of a sinus infection and am sure the two are related. I’m really relieved to have at least dodged the urgent care bullet; besides the fact that we can’t afford the copay (and no doubt the insurance company would find a way to weasel out of paying the rest) I would have felt a bit ridiculous at 39 years old sitting in an emergency waiting room with pinkeye, of all things. What’s next, head lice?

We took pictures so that we could gauge whether it actually was getting better or not and I think they would be great to print off real big and use to scare off trespassers if we pasted them into the front door window. ;-)
