Ranty McRants-a-lot
I need a massage, desperately. The muscles in my back and shoulders are so tense that when Ryan tried to give me a little massage yesterday morning, it hurt.
I have a headache. Caffiene (so far) hasn't helped. May have to go and raid the (well stocked) work first aid kit.
I start at Sobey's tonight, and have my oh so sexay uniform in the car in case I don't have time to go home between work and ... work. Training this week M-W-F 5:30-9:30 pm. I'm very glad I don't have Sparks this week (spring break, WOO!).
I went to see a 'specialist' about my ingrown eyelashes. Again, yes, I'm a freak and have ingrown eyelashes that hurt my eyes. According to him, I should not wear my contacts (bullshit, I've got like, four months left on the ones I JUST BOUGHT and am not going to waste that money and not wear them, PLUS my glasses are an older prescription than my contacts and they're probably the reason I've got a headache and I can't afford to get the correct prescription put into my glasses because the optometrist doesn't bill my health insurance place directly), and that all of my many eye problems (ingrown eyelashes, lots of scarring on my eyelids), is due to the fact that I was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome when I was a kid. Folks took me to an allergy specialist when I was about 10 or 11, and was prescribed sulfa drugs to help with my allergies. When you take sulfa, you're supposed to stay out of the sun, but no one told my folks that and since it was the middle of summer, I was out at an outdoor pool almost every day and outside playing as kids do. Needless to say I ended up in the burn ward at the Childrens' hospital in isolation for almost 3 weeks. I was in bad shape at the time, and I'm not surprised that that's been the cause of my eye problems. When I told him that I'd had SJS, he was all 'well why didn't you tell me that sooner?'
Anyway, he prescribed me some ointment for my eyelids, did not give me a reason why I shouldn't wear my contacts (other than the scarring, but I don't understand what that has to do with it). Am SO GRR about this guy, you have no idea. Then trying to explain what he told me to my mom got me even MORE frustrated because the way she sounded, I felt like I was stupid and stuff. I'm so not happy. I'm sorry, he gave me no reason to NOT wear my contacts and my eyes don't hurt when I've got them in! No matter how much I say it, no one seems to understand how uncomfortable I am when I don't wear my contacts. Headaches, irritated eyes, blurriness, etc.
Stupid headache. I'm going to go and get my contacts, I think.
Fuck.
I'm going to use the cute icon, just because I'm feeling very un-cute today.
AND YOU SAY 'EXCUSE ME?' NOT 'WHAT?' WHEN YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ME YOU FUCKING HICKS.
