But first, a side note:

"Dear Richie. You sing beautifully. You are truly King of Swing. But baby? 'If God Was A Woman' sucks rocks in the lyrics department as well as in concepting and I'd have to punch you in the gut for it if we were face to face.

Fuck you, but love you anyway,
Anne

ps--I'm taking the song off my MP3 player when I get home. And you make a lousy misogymist. Cut it out. It's bad for you.'

When I went shopping for my jogging gear last night, I had to snag more artificial tears. The Systane had quit working, and in fact had started making my eyes blurry for a half hour or longer after use. :/

I'd also run out of drops during work yesterday (Didn't bring enough vials), so was actually using a vial of saline solution to at least keep the eyes rinsed, which seemd to help a bit.

So I did some serious label reading in the eyedrop aisle.

I wound up buying Thera Tears instead. Also non-preservative (that was the actual condition of what drops to buy--Systane had been a suggestion, but at tha time I was half blind and upset so did that instead of looking around for alternatives).

Well, a few things I noticed after the first dose last night.

1) The Thera Tears are thicker consistancy. That feels nicer.
2) They didn't make my eyes sting.
3) You get more out of each vial.
4) My eyes were clearer after than when I used the Systane
5) They're also clear about a minute or so after application, instead of 15 minutes or more after a dose of Systane.
6) Different stuff. I forget at the moment what the Systane has as its active ingredient, but Thera Tears has Sodium Carboxymethelcellulose.
7) They're also clearer for longer. Mt eyes, that is.

So....anyhow. Yeah.

Now watch me get in trouble Wednesday for changing my drops. XD.

Also: I did not manage to get to the exercise room. But I did walk to the store and back at a nice crisp pace (cold and misty fog helped with the dsire to move fast. :) ) So that was a good hour and a half of walking.

Oh, and last note--I can definitely tell a diff between my right and left eyes when I touch them--the right eye is massively swollen in feeling in its socket. And kinda gooshy, too. :/ Ew.
