stye in the eye

yesterday, while watching the 40-yr-old virgin, i developed a stye in my left eye. well, it wasn't exactly then, but i started becoming cognizant of the problem. it's a bit swollen right now, and hurts when i blink. all of this makes it somewhat difficult for me to read. i feel like i've been punched in the eye. and there's nothing i can do except put a warm tea bag over my eye for 15 minutes.

on saturday, we had a birthday/bon voyage party for jay and rob. it was great fun, even though i ended up with my head in the toilet. for some reason, i get really loud and passion about education when i'm drunk. and like many people, my sense of time disappears after a number of shots of 151 and jagermeister.

i was buzzed, i was tired, i was sleepy, and i wanted to go home to deidra. so i drove home, even though the rational, sober voice in my head was screaming, "what the fuck are you doing?" but it wasn't that bad, i was able to get gas even. like a wise man once told me, when youre intoxicated, drive within the white line (thank you, shawn).

once i got home, i didn't even bother turning on the light. i climbed straight into bed and curled up in the warmth of a stirring deidra. i fell asleep immediately, and unfortunately, woke up 4 hours later. i felt like shit. you know, the kinda shit that shots of hard liquor and minimal amount of sleep would do to ya.

downed two tall glasses of oj. rehydration is wonderful. still felt like shit though, but much, much better.

so anyway, today, i'm trying to finish two chapters in a book and i'm having the hardest time trying to concentrate. fucking eye.
