I'm going to assume that it's all right to wake up with dried gunk just under my eyes and in my lashes, especially since my eyes were clear for a little bit after that. Right eye is still mostly blurry now, but I'm starting to be able to at least make out things at a distance instead of going 'I think that dark blue blur on the white background is text of some sort'.

I seem to be losing half pound increments every other day. I'm hoping this means the new plan is working, and is not just a fluxation that will leave me at 184 and crying again at next Monday's weigh-in. Also--the plan Sparksdiet has for me food wise leaves me hungry--as in stomach starts to growl and consider my spine as a suppliment. Am packing an extra fruit and some crackers for work-snacking today, so that I'm not left with a painfully growling stomach around 1:30 or so. Feeling hungry is not going to help me, and I'll be more likely to binge when I get home...or accept things like donuts and candy at work when offered.

Some jackass in a bright blue pick-up came roaring up behind the car next to me on the way to work this morning. When the car didn't speed up, he switched over to my lane and got up right on my ass. When I didn't go any faster, he flashed his brights at me, so I tapped the brakes. When we got to the next light, he'd swung all the way over to the other side of the road to make a left turn. And yes, since the third vehicle (between us by that point) held back at the light, I did indeed look across the way to Mr. Gotta Get There and told him off. Didn't give him the finger, but I did POINT at him and used 'slow the fuck down' and 'asshole' at him. If he could lip read at all, he knows exactly what I said to him.

Wisely, he just stared at me for a second before the light turned. And yes, it occured to me he might think shooting me or getting out of the car to come and knife me as a possibility. But you know what? I would have beat the shit out of him anyway (unless he had good aim). Don't care if you have a nice shiney pick-up with all the trimmins, son. You and your white ass gets up on mine like that, we will have words.

And that would be my Darwin moment for the day.

Also: Someone took my utility knife at work. Right off my desk too. And they didn't leave it anywhere in CS that I can tell. Which means I have to use my lunch knife to get into boxes until boss gets here and I can get to the supplies. Looks like I start locking up my desk again, dammit.

Anyhow, nothing tragic, but the day is starting out annoying. Here's hoping it improves.

Well, the drops are helping (if I keep up with them, I at least get the illusion that my vision is fine). I can see the keyboard and the screen okay, and watch TV without too much problem. When it gets blurry, I just apply more drops.

The right eye is still blurry even with my glasses on, but it's starting to clearly focus on close up objects for the most part. Distance objects are still unfocused, but it's more of a cloudy effect than a blur, usually. I just can't see clearly out of it.

The doctor wrote me out a steroid RX...Walmart was taking it's sweet time filling it, and I'm not up to dealing with the rush hour traffic to go back for it, so I'll start that tomorrow. I go in again next Wednesday to see how that does me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This whole situation is for the birds.
