today, from 6 in the morning till noon, my left eye would not stop watering. i was like that clown, pagliacci, or whoever, crying and laughing and crying and laughing....i have no idea what happened, but the theory is that my showerhead, after three weeks of nonuse, collected a wide spectrum of lovely bacteria, and when i took a shower this morning, decided to lodge some good old infective stuff into my eye. because, before my shower, my eye was ok, but right after, i couldn't open the left window to my soul.

so, i flushed and debrided and waxed lachrymose and shouted why oh why on the day i have time to apply eyeliner! and then went to school, not knowing whether i should skip oral medicine or operative and instead, go to the doctor, but i went to class, because i love to endure lots and lots of pain, just for fun, and through tears and itching and plain old "dry, thick contact in the eye" feeling, i took notes, i drilled an MOD, and waited for the clinic to open. to serve a double cohort school of tens of thousands, UWO's medical clinic is open half days, apparently. stupid!

anyway, so i got the coolest eye test. first, they freeze your eye, and the cool part is that they flood your eye with fluorescein, then shine a UV light on it, and your eye glows fluorescent green! any breaks in corneal epith glows orange. i looked like an alien, it was so cool.

spent the rest of the day with a numb eye, sagging muscles and droopy lids cause of the anaesthetic, highlighter yellow dye coming out of my nose, and like a big old baby, i decided life was too hard and too cruel and went to sleep.

so, on the most free day, schedule-wise, i missed several movie showings at three different houses, a big buffet dinner, probable pub stuff on richmond. that's the kind of day its been. argh.
