eye sore
the other day i was trimming a tree in our back yard when something got in my eye. it felt kinda big. and stung quite a bit. i went to the bathroom immediately. but i couldn't see whatever it was. it didn't really hurt. only when i moved my eye in really extreme ways. well. my eye was seriously irritated. cause it had just be whapped by something. but other than that i couldn't be sure there was actually something there. the beautiful and talented alisa dropped some saline in my eye to try to flush it out. the extra lubrication made it feel better. i left it alone. hours later after dinner, i felt something in my eye. this was different though. it felt like something coated in mucus. which in fact it was. another trip to the bathroom mirror and i was able to remove it. it was a 6 mm thorn like splinter. it must have gone up and over to the back of my eye for a while. eyes are amazing. somehow it managed to expel this thing with no hands. my vision is blurrier now than it's ever been. but that's cause i'm getting old. not cause i have a log in my eye.
