kjpepperGot up at what felt like the asscrack. Actually, considering sundart didn't sleep and came in to wake me at about 6:30 is, it was the asscrack. :)
Made my eye appointment and went through the whole opthalmological cha cha - about an hour of bright lights being flashed, shown, and waved around in front of me, icky colored eyedrops, having my corneas poked, and making chatty conversation about various eyeball problems in my family with the doctor, I was released into a world of unusually and unforgivingly bright light. Damn pupil dilation. Even with the stuff dropped in that is supposedly to help reverse its effects faster it still sort of hurts to look out of a window, though it is much better. I expect I should stop being able to see the refresh rate of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beatgoddess's monitor by dinnertime. In the meantime, looking at myself and my dilated pupils in the mirror is sort of frightening, as I look like they transplanted a pair of teddy bear eyeballs into my head.
Between not being able to focus/see anything bright, having a bad couple of nights sleep, cramps, a bitching headache, and a random nausea that came out of nowhere this morning, I called in to work today. I'm glad I did - staring at a screen all day would not have been at all comfy. It's just me andbeatgoddess home right now, with the impending arrival of our wayward electrician. (who is late again) I will have to talk to him when he comes in about how he's badly disrupting beatgrrl's sleeping schedule. sundart is working and the shanti has wandered off in her general direction, probably to play video games and see movies. Meanwhile my body has erupted into no less than seventeen yucky itchy bumps. Man I hate summer bugs. I've been scratching at them for two days now.
I think its time to eat something, close all of the curtains, and nap for a bit, as much as I can nap with electrician pottering around...
