Gunk in my Eye

Aug 25, 2004 11:38

So, it's been awhile. A lot has been going on... my great-grandma is still in the hospital, although today they decided she's not contagious... whew, what a relief, considering she wasn't even in there for that, she was in there for surgury after she fell and broke some bones... my grandpa on my dad's side of the family was in the hospital, too, for surgury for an absess, but he finally went home Sunday, which is good. In other news, my mom's boyfriend is in jail for a DUI. Warning to everyone out there who drinks: from what I've seen, they're seriously cracking down on that whole thing and they're throwing people in jail left and right for DUIs... actually, most people don't know this yet, but they're not DUIs anymore. They're OMVIs or OVIs (Operating a Motor Vehicle under the Influence, I think is what it is. It changed in December.) Otherwise, I'm mostly working and spending as much time with Wudi as possible. Today he has to stay the night at the armory, which SUCKS, but at least he's not in Iraq.

I'm supposed to go back to Athens and start back school weekend after next, but that might not happen. I've been trying to get a loan to go through, but things are running late and I might not have the money in time. I'm not too worried about it though, because I was going to have to go one quarter next year anyway, and if nothing else I can keep working and build up a little more money. Besides that, I have no money for books, so I don't know what I was going to do anyway. We'll see... if I can pull it off, I'm definitely going to go ahead and get back started, but I'm trying to convince myself it's not the end of the world if I don't. And hell, it's only thanks to Jason that I get to go back to OU this year at all... so I'm thankful just in general.

I've had weird health problems this summer... I became lactose intolerant, who would've guessed?!?! The weird shit always happens to me. So now I have to take a pill before I eat or drink any sort of dairy, which sucks ass because my diet pretty much consists of meat and dairy. At least it's OTC medicine instead of prescription, though. And then, this morning, I woke up with a really bad case of pink eye-- like my eye was blood red, half open, and filled with gunk (eww), and I had to leave work (I'm at work at the law office right now as we speak) and go to the doctor for that whole thing. I've had pretty bad allergies this summer, too, which is weird because I never had them before, but I guess they're bad this year. I got some prescription allergy stuff today at the doctor, so hopefully that'll take care of it.

And if any of you are wondering why I haven't been online, it's because the internet at home decided not to work with my laptop anymore for some reason... that, and, I need to reformat its hard drive anyway and haven't gotten around to it. But if you've got my cell number, feel free to give me a call.

And that's enough rambling for now... =)
