This was the day between the storms, and it was also the day my springtime allergies caught up with me and smacked me down. It’s not enough that my eyes are heavy from lack of sleep, but now they’re also bearing the weight of everything that’s in the air, and that’s a lot right now. Plus, I grated an onion tonight, and that didn’t help any.
As I was driving Mom home from the party last night I was feeling the burn in my eyes and thinking it was probably a product of too many late nights, all strictly speaking my own fault. It definitely didn’t make it any easier to drive after dark, with all those bright headlines in my face and filling my rear view mirror. I might be about ready for my first eye exam since the new insurance kicked in. That should be fun.
Mostly I blame myself for everything that I find wrong in my life. I just don’t do a very good job solving problems or resolving crises or taking care of myself. It’s a good thing I’m the only person I’m in charge of, because I’d hate to think how anyone who depended on me would cope. I’d like to think I’d step up, but we can’t be sure of that, can we? |
