Jewells of Thought

When I went to bed last night, my eye still looked very angry at me. This morning my eye felt sealed shut. I had to open it up and cautiously wash it open, most of the redness gone, but still puffy.

I absolutely declare this was not something I conjured up to make a couple of articles over. I can write better material when I am not in physical pain. The thought that someone could accuse me of doing something briefly swept through my mind. Trust me you want good material to read, although I was pretty determined to still meet my article quota for the day and did it before 10 pm.

That amazed even me.

Yesterday when the doctor mentioned I might have Pink Eye, I was afraid today would have to be canceled. Then she took another look and said no it’s actually a scratch, but your allergies and your body’s response to the healing mechanism wasn’t working very well to fix the problem. She surprised me by saying I should be find for my interview this morning.

Driving was made extremely difficult yesterday with my light sensitivity. So I am very grateful Dad drove me, especially since my car still needs an oil change that has remained forgotten with everything going on. My Uncle’s colonoscopy went fairly well only one polyp was found. Even my beautiful and intelligent niece texted me to ask how the interview went. I have a very special 11 year old niece!

This morning as I set out to get ready for the interview I was a little hesitant about little things. I can’t really put makeup on and I can’t wear my sunglasses without my having my prescriptions I can very easily get migraines. So I felt like I was in a catch 22, yet for 10 glorious minutes I was pain-free. She numbed my eye and asked me what I had been taking for the pain. My answer was nothing; I just persevered. The idea of taking a pain reliever never even crossed my mind that morning. I took some Tylenol once I got home.

The interview is now in God’s hands. Getting a clearer picture of what I had a thumbnail idea of helped me today though. If this is God’s will I will be invited for a 2nd interview. In the meanwhile there was another application I still have not heard back from this week. I shall see what God truly has in store for me in the coming days between these two very different positions.

Being in the middle of yesterday, today seemed impossible. I mentioned a pain lever starting with a 15 then last night down to an 8. I guess I could say I am down to a 5 as of today. The eye drops from last night to this morning helped drastically through the night. I have a couple more drops tonight, but my eye still looks swollen or I have used the word puffy and the cold still wants to fuse my lids close.

Thank you! All of you who have just made ‘My Eye Predicament’ my now most looked at article. Understand I did not set out for that to happen, I would much rather my “Jim Caviezal For Such A Time’ article to be number 1. Like his movie is in the hearts of Americans or my ‘Community’ talking about Jason Aldean and his ‘Try That in a Small Town.’
