Thursday.. is it really Thursday?

I seriously wonder where my weeks go sometimes. The older I get.. the faster they go. Sometimes I feel like I'm becoming my mother with all the little aliments or infections that keep coming my way. This week, I've had a couple of pimples or styes in my left eyelid.

It started Sunday when I woke up and my eyelid hurt a little. I ignored it and it really didn't bother me that much. Then on Monday, when I woke up, my eyelid was all was very puffy and it hurt even more. My eye itself was fine. No redness and it didn't itch. Admittedly, I was starting to freak out a little bit. My insurance had recently switched over as of the first and I hadn't received my new card yet. I was able to hide it with makeup and no one at work noticed it. Now this is a bit gross, but a head developed on the area just under the eyelashes on the right side. I popped it. It was small. Tuesday, the swelling on the right side of my eyelid was gone but I realized, I had a 2nd pimple. This one hurt a lot and it itched. No head has developed by it has shrank in half. However, the last couple of days, It's been giving me migranes because of it's location. I have lipton cup a soups at work that seem to diminish the headache while I'm drinking it. I think it's because of the warmth. I'm going see about getting some excedrin at lunch. I'm noticing it effecting my work. I sorta snapped at a coworker when she asked for something, I didn't want to give up at the moment. It wasn't a major snap or anything, just something that I shouldn't have done.

The eye thing has been the only big irritant outside of some simple work stuff. I'm incharge of the curriculum supplies in the center. I make orders once a week. They never sent me an order from early in August and so far they've duplicated an order from a few weeks ago. I just got a shipped in today and it almost looks like it will be a triple of that same order. I'm running out of storage space.

Good things going on:
  • Erik is loving his English class and his swimming for Fitness. Is college counseling class is pretty lame though.
  • I'm really enjoying my Netflix's membership, and still thinking of increasing the # of dics I can keep at a time.
  • I checked on my application for my sub credential and they received it on 8/22, but it is still pending evaluation. Slow pokes!
  • I've been working out more and back to counting my calories. I get lazy about counting, but it seems to be the only way, I'll loose weight.
  • The roommate is leaving for the weekend today, so Erik and I have the place to our selves heehee.

Last night, we met up with Erik's cousin-in-law Rafe, who was out filming an Insurance convention for work. Sounds thrilling I know, but he loves filming and editing. He's out from Peoria and it was great hanging out at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney for a few hours. Of course, we picked the only restaurant down there that has a stipulation on the use of Disney season passes for discounts. We showed off our apartment and he was enamored with our tv and extensive DVD collection (I'm obsessive). It's always interesting hanging with Rafe. We only usually get to see him when we're out to Ill once a year or so. He's my age and grew up in Paris. Erik's cousin met him when she was over there for a semester aboard. They've lived a couple of times in Paris, but now their permanently back in Peoria. He does have an accent, but it isn't that strong. He just is fascinated with so much of the small things in life. It was a good visit.

Tomorrow night, I'm attending an Arbonne party that my coworker is hosting for her sister. Then Saturday, Rose's Bridal Hat shower. I have a hat that will work, but I want to find something cuter. I have a few hours to kill before the Arbonne party, so I'm going to go shopping at Victoria Gardens in Rancho. I've only been there for dinner a few times, but never to shop.

Wow, I hope that your eye is feeling better.
