No photos today (lucky you, because this is ugly)

So on Friday I got the kittens.

I also got pink eye.

And I also got antibiotic drops for the pink eye. I expected that since I had two more full days in the weekend, there would be no problem going to work on Monday.

But then on Saturday afternoon, 24 hours after I’d started taking the eye drops, my eye looked a lot worse. And then Sunday morning it was so swollen I could barely open it.

So I scheduled a video appointment where the doctor looked at my eye and prescribed me different antibiotic drops, along with oral antibiotics to deal with the swelling. She also mentioned that I might be allergic to the first drops. When I asked about the possibility of the (more common I think?) viral conjunctivitis (which will not be affected by all these antibiotics), she brushed me off. I found that kind of frustrating, but I went and got the new eye drops and the oral antibiotics and now I can only hope for the best.

Luckily my friend is able to sub for me tomorrow. I’m hoping I can go back on Tuesday but the thing about viral conjunctivitis is that you’re contagious until your symptoms go away, which could take a week! I really hope the new antibiotics work, because this is uncomfortable and I can’t see well and it sucks to look like this.

I had to drive down to work to be ready for the sub tomorrow. I just spent 45 minutes on the elliptical machine writing sub plans. All told I spent over 4 hours working so I could not be there for 8 hours of work. I hate being out. It’s the worst part of teaching.
