Last night I forgot to remove my contact lenses. I awoke around 4 am to the feeling of something horrible scraping my eyeballs. I got up and took them out and went back to bed. When I got up this morning, my eyes were killing me. They felt like Freddy Krueger had slashed them. I couldn't read the Sunday paper and the TV was blurry. Eyedrops didn't help but a hot shower eased the pain a bit.
When life's stupid little annoyances get you down, they sometimes feel really big at the time. Now, I'll admit this is not in the league of unrequited love or having a root canal, but still...I'm pretty miserable. I mean, what the hell can you do when your eyes hurt?
Hope it passes soon.

Getting Dirty in da Hood
I've never had a problem with getting dirty. I went out to clear away a pile of junk from behind the shed as the City will be picking up "brush and bulky" on the 29th. Timing is everything in life and in a serendipitous moment, a truck pulled up and asked if they could have the metal. I invited them into the yard to help and they took all the metal [corrogated roofing pieces and angle iron, etc]. The man had only one arm but the woman was strong. We were all grateful to find each other and I feel like I've truly accomplished something today. What a great feeling!
