Pink Eye

Sunday I spent much of Easter rubbing my eye. Monday I went to the school nurse to talk to her about my itchy eye. She said I probably had pink eye and discussed treatment. During lunch I went to urgent care to see the doctor who gave me the same information as the school nurse. He, however, was able to give me a prescription for eye drops. I told him the same thing I told the school nurse, "Do you have anything else? I can't put drops in my eyes." Actually I was more honest with the nurse and told her it would take two people to get drops in my eyes. He was very kind about the situation and gave me a hint about getting the drops in my eyes. When I returned to school, J gave me the same hint since it's what works with her five year old.

Last night I successfully followed the advice and was able to put drops in my eyes twice. Dad, who left today, was disappointed he missed the second time since he was able to watch my first try. Today I've been able to do the same task three times although it is much more difficult to put drops in the left eye.

In reality, pink eye has always been a great fear since I've always known if I contracted pink eye, I would never be able to get rid of it. Alas I was wrong. I can put drops in my eyes. I'm a big girl now!!! Yea me!! OK, it's time to put drops in my eyes, so I need to grab the drops and Puffs.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
