One day down, three to go. At the end of today, this work week will be half over. I'm writing this entry with only one eye open. Not a trick or reference to being tired. I scratched the holy hell out of my eyeball in the middle of the night and woke up with a flap of eyeball skin hanging off of my eye. I am at work because there is a ton of work to get done, but I am trying to keep the offending eye closed. Josie drove in this morning, which made that possible. I don't think I could have driven myself. I keep putting the eye drops in it and its slowly starting to feel better. If I ever had a reason to stay home, it would have been this.
Last night wasn't very active, though I did get a lot done. I did some dishes and baked some almond macarons. They came out beautifully. I wish I could have done more, but by the time I was done baking, swim was already over. I would have gone tonight except that my eyeball wouldn't be able to stand being in the water like this. God damn it all.
Plans for going up for an actual holiday this weekend are a little more solid in my mind now. I booked a hotel room with some rewards points and will probably just be there a day, but its going to feel so good to get out of town. I'll be stopping at my favorite ice cream shop on the way up, going to a BBQ with a few friends, hopefully seeing some fireworks and going to bed somewhat early. On Saturday, I'll be waking up early and going to swim at a wonderful pool, taking Risa to breakfast for her birthday and then having dinner at my favorite restaurant with my favorite bottle of wine that I've been saving before coming home Saturday night. Going to be a nice, restful holiday full of things I love to do. I need this more than anything right now. To be honest, I haven't been looking forward to much lately. It doesn't do to be looking forward to a weekend and then have them taken away from you by work. Just the thought of staying away from home and life for a day and a night is so relieving.
