Snow day from work today. School district originally had a delay but closed because it was supposed to start freezing rain when the buses were running, which it has. Starting to ice up. I don’t think this week is going to be a gym week for me, I’ve been pushing myself to go out in the 40s but this is just way too cold. Not down with it at all.

I had to leave work early twice last week, once to pick up CR who wasn’t feeling well, and another because my eye was killing me. Turns out I had a corneal erosion, similar to an abrasion but different cause. The eye dr said I have to be careful because corneal erosions can recur. Best to put dry eye drops in my eyes before bed, because he thinks my eye dried out during the night and when I opened my eyes in the AM part of my cornea came with it (shudder).

NOW I am sick with a cold. I’m glad i have off today so maybe i can rest and it won’t get too much worse. RS had it first, he ended up with a sinus infection. They gave him amoxicillin even though he’s been allergic to it in the past. Guess what? He’s still allergic. He had a very odd reaction wherein his eyes swelled and dried out, making them red and teary. He looked it up on google and it turns out that’s a sign of allergy. Well, now he knows the allergy did NOT disappear.

Besides all the physical illnesses and injuries we are dealing with, emotionally I’ve been doing well. I pushed back my ECT treatment by a week to see if I could and so far so good. It’s next Friday.

I will be so happy if I can make it through Feb without a hospital stay. That will be one year, and I haven’t had one year out since I started going back in 20201. I think I’ve had 5-7 in those two years (I’ve lost track a long time ago, grand total is probably somewhere near 30 for lifetime). March 22 will also be two years since I’ve self harmed. Another big accomplishment. 2024 is going to be my year!
