It Seems Like Years Since It's Been Clear

So, I feel like I should mention that I was sick all last week with some sort of pukey thing. I threw up only once, but the after effects lasted from Monday to Sunday, when I woke up feeling miraculously better and ate the entire house. This broke a no-vomit streak I've had since February of 2005. In fact I woke up on Monday feeling awful (after several days of decreased appetite) and angrily willed myself not to throw up, and spent the next few hours proud of my own stubborness and ability to control my body but in terrible pain, after which my stomach took matters into its own hands and the rest was history. We have a cream colored carpet (whose brilliant idea was that?) but everything seems to have worked out fine.

Because I have some sort of slothlike metabolism, I spent an entire week not eating solid food- this is not an exaggeration- and lost no weight at all.

I suspect I will not be sick again until at 2012, although since this wasn't my annual sinus infection there's still time. I seem to have passed through the change of seasons' allergies without any problems, but we'll see.

In other news, Boyfriend gave me a gigabyte of ram as a get-well present and Aphrodite seems to be running a bit better. Sims in particular zooms, which brings me great joy. I mean, I'd run the internet off of a typewriter hooked up to a telephone and a box with a piece of glass on it and I'd be happy if it weren't for my unfortunate sims addiction, which requires a decent graphics card (which I sort-of have) and memory (which I didn't have, until now). Sims is pretty much my greatest joy in life, besides ontd_ai.

In other other news I received a letter from Megan whose lj name I can't remember but who is @mcaro5 on twitter and whom I adore, and now that I'm sure I won't transmit terrible pukey germs through the mail I can reply to her. Anyone wanna say hi?

Baseball season starts on Friday and I am about to jump off of my roof in excitement.

Also also did you guys realize there are currently THREE pregnant Spice Girls? jfc. Geri and Mel C must be jeals.

OKAY BYE.

you guys


why is my left eyelid swollen?

Yesterday it just hurt, like I'd slept wrong on my eye or something (which... I've actually done before. Or maybe it's the same thing except not as bad?) because I'm stupid and I sleep with my face on my favorite doll and she has plastic limbs and like maybe one pinched me or some shit idk.

but today it's a bit puffier. It really doesn't look that different to me but my mother's all OMG OH NO~ and usually it's the other way around (usually I convince myself I must be dying or having some sort of horrible rare disease and she looks at me with That Look and goes "Yes, I get that too. EVERYONE gets that." and goes about her business. Unless it's a cold-tye thing in which case she won't even look at me until my temperature goes above like 102, and considering my normal temperature is about 97.2, that takes a lot.).

So that's a bit worrisome. Both eyes are itchy and my throat is a teeeeeny bit scratchy and I feel like coughing every so often, so the current thought here is that it must be allergies. If it gets worse I'll go to the Walgreens doctor people, they're the cheapest. She gave me some benadryl (or at least, a store version... dipenhydramine, I think it's spelled?) so I'm waiting to see what happens there. It's supposed to make you sleepy but I think it makes me hyper.

It's not red or anything, the insides look the same as the insides of my other eye, and the eyeballs themselves both look exactly the same. So... whatever. That eye's always been squintier anyway. I can deal.
