I woke up early this morning (after being up for nearly an hour with salmonella* in the middle of the night ) with a scratched eyeball/eyelid/something in the region of the eye. It is not terribly uncommon that I have issues with my eyes but this time, it has been persistent and fairly terrible. It pretty much wrecked my whole day, because I kept wanting to DO things but I just didn't feel like it. Then Evelyn napped for three hours, which was great, but I would sure have liked to have been productive for those three hours. We went out to Rite-Aid to transfer a prescription that I didn't really need because they give you $30 for doing it (with coupon) and to pick up some Visine, and that is about as much excitement as my day has had. Then I made them price match the prescription I didn't want. I was a real problem customer there this afternoon! The original pharmacy apparently repeatedly hung up on them when they called in for the transfer, too. Nice.
*I don't have salmonella. I shouldn't make light. It's sort of a family joke because my niece is inexplicably terrified of salmonella, and I DID eat, despite my better judgment, raw cookie dough. It is so hard to deny the raw cookie dough. Yum.
I forgot to follow up on the car registration expiration thing. I stayed home all week, and then I ended up going out Friday morning anyway to pay the thing. I called them to ask about how legal it was to drive down there, and the lady said that usually, if you get pulled over and ticketed, you can go to court after you pay the registration and they'll throw it out. I figured that the chance of getting pulled over was slim anyway so I really just wantonly broke the law and drove down there illegally. Woot! After I paid the bill, I asked on a whim if you could pay the registration in advance for another car. Apparently you can pay a month ahead of time, so I paid M's while I was there! Now I don't have to go downtown again for this next month! You can mail in your payment but they charge you $2 for the privilege. Nice of them.
I am currently campaigning to get M to shave his legs. He's been eaten alive with chiggers this year, and I am assuring him that the only way to make sure they stop biting him is for him to shave. Truly, I don't want him to shave his legs, but it's good to have a project. Convincing him to do it is my newest one.
I am not sleepy and I am definitely enjoying the nice baby-sleeping time, but I am going to have to go to bed to get relief from this stupid eye thing. If I were brave enough, I would squirt some breastmilk in my eye because it sure seems to help with anything else. (It did, for example, do a better job on E's diaper rash than her prescription cream...though it took hydrocortisone to finally (knock on wood) clear it up... I've been battling this stupid rash--her first--for a month.) Alas, I am short and wimpy.
Okay, being short doesn't really play a part in that, but it does make my husband laugh and I am still working on that leg shaving thing, and spreading good will is part of my master plan.
Am I drunk?
