Eye Think We Have A Problem...

I wrote this late last night :

Today I am in an El Crappiola mood.

I woke up this morning pretty tired after a night of having my husband try to steal my pillows while he slept. WHAT was he dreaming about? Finally about 4 AM I was giggling about the whole annoying thing thinking, "What's so special about my pillows? They are no different than the last 3 you stole from me and discarded in a pile on the floor". Apparently he thinks I am his never-ending pillow distribution center.

Anyways. Despite (or maybe because of) the pillow war of '08, he let me sleep in a bit and got up with Bubbalu.

I finally woke up and opened my eye. Yep, my EYE. As in singular.

I thought that maybe because my face was squashed into my last remaining pillow that it just got stuck from all the eye goo.

I tried to open my eyes really wide, but it didn't really help.

Perplexed, I walk into our bathroom and am greeted by my face sporting a right eye that is SO swollen it can open 1/4 of what it should.

My face is a thing of beauty, let me tell you. With the loss of my tan (because of my 6 week first trimester cave dwelling recluse season), dry itchy skin in the T-Zone, and oil and zits everywhere else, I am feeling quite haggish.

I actually laughed as I went down the stairs to show Lance. He laughed too. Then he took a picture of my face.

I stopped laughing when I saw the pic.

I don't think I have enough self-esteem to post my eye trauma pic. Believe me, you should be spared the horror.

Reason? Cause? Diagnosis? I don't know. I have been quite delectable for mosquitoes lately. Why, even this morning I woke with 4 new bites! Could I have gotten bit on the eyelid? Maybe. But I don't see any bite on my eyelid. Could the culprit be the new (actually really very old) eyeliner I used on Sunday because I ran out of my normal stuff? My eye is clear, no visual problems (despite the blockage of sight!) and I am wholly confused.

At least the swelling did go down quite a bit with cold compresses. I wore sunglasses all day, and (of course) managed to smear my mascara all over the place, making me look like a raccoon with one really puffy eye!

Oh so very cute.

SEE? El Crappiola mood. Tomorrow can only get better.

My other eye better behave tonight.

This morning my eye looks about the same...so off to the Dr. I go. My other eye DID behave, although I do have another mosquito bite on my leg, bringing the total to five. What is WITH this mosquito!?

I must be quite tasty.

Onions Anyone?

Guess what I learned I may have at my OB appointment this past Thursday?

Oniomania.

Definition: for the compulsive desire to shop, more commonly referred to as shopping addiction or shopaholism.

I though it had to do with an obsessive need to eat onions. Which a certain brother-in-law of mine suffers from (you know who you are!).

And though I greatly like to shop, I usually don't purchase anything. What's the term for that? Noncommittoniomaia? Windowshoppyicism? CompulsoI'mjustlooking?

While waiting for my appointment to start my always entertaining husband picked up a Taber's Medical Dictionary and started quizzing me on medical terminology just for fun. Cause what else are you going to do while waiting for your appointment to start. Read a pamphlet about peri-menopausal symptoms or painful urination?

Anyways, we got to see our new little peanut wiggling around on the ultrasound screen, bringing bright smiles to our faces. I learned I need my blood drawn again, bringing a sad scowl to my face.
