Zombie Eye

New Years came and went with little fanfare. We stayed at home, Dim payling his dumb Warcraft game and me in bed with my book. We kissed at midnight and went to sleep. Sooo exciting.

The next morning, we went to Sophie's with Athena for breakfast (and lunch, and dinner, it turned out.)

I wore my glasses, which I am terribly self-conscious about, because a blood vessel broke in my eye overnight for some unexplained reason. I looked like a zombie, and I didn't think that keeping my contacts in was a good idea. Here is a picture of my eye from this morning. My eye actually looks a lot better (ie less bloody) than last night. It is scary for two reasons: the broken blood vessel and the pores. Click at your own risk.

I'm trying to do common sense things to heal it faster, like not wearing contacts and drinking lots of liquids. I might try a warm compress to open the vessel a little bit and speed blood flow. It doesn't hurt, it just makes me look like I should stagger around and crave BRRAAAAAINNNNNNS!

Any other ideas?

I think that is as exciting as it gets for New Year's Eve. Nicole had bad Asthma attacks throughout the night so we stayed up late due to that. We almost went to Quick Care. Yea, late night for New Years! Fortunately we didn't go but neither of us got any sleep whatsoever. So we felt like ZOMBIES the next day trying to do parent things for Dax.
