Problem, what problem?

Think of it as more of a recycling opportunity.
I don't like to be forced or pressured into recycling. However, since I am being charged for the cost of disposing of these cans I figured I may as well save them up and turn them into a little profit. It's amazing how quickly they pile up. I won't tell you how long I have been at my new little endeavor, but let's just say maybe it is time to cut back!

My eye... Update

I should have taken bets to see who the winner of the freaky eye trivia would be... Ok, so I went to the doctor yesterday preparing myself for some terrible cancer of the eye news and I had already started picking out my replacement wood eye. There I sit in the waiting room filling out the medical history chart. Do you wear glasses? No. Do you have a history of eye disease in your family? No. Do you have any previous medical conditions? No. Do you take medication? No. Did you poke yourself in the eye? No, no, no. I mean how have a contracted this weird eye malfunction when all my answers are no? Finally they call me in, do an eye test - 20/20. Fabulous, at least the freaky bump hasn't affected my vision. The doctor comes in, shines many bright lights in my eyes (both), hooks me up to a few machines, takes some samples, touches, prods and stares. Looks at me and says... you have sun damage and now it has become infected. OH - crap! He continues, what has happened is you have a lifetime (24 years exactly) of being in the sun and not protecting your eyes properly. Now, something has irritated the sun damaged spot in your right eye and it has become infected and inflammed. OH - Great! He continues, what you will need to do now is drop an antibiotic in your eye 4 times a day for two weeks. This should bring the swelling down and heal the infection. I ask, and the sun damage, can I repair that? No, he says, sunglasses are very important when you're out in the sun, you need to wear them all the time, even in the winter.

So this is my plug for Sunglasses... if you don't wear them you will get sun damage, if something irriates the sun damage, you will get a bump, if you don't go to the doctor when you get the bump (he says) it will grow over your entire eye. Let's start at the top, wear sunglasses. I have about 15 pairs... I think I will start wearing them. :)

What is this freaky thing on my eye!?!

Ok, so for about a year Bryce had been telling me that I had this yellow spot on my eye. Well I just thought it was a part of who I was, character if you will. Until now... for the last week this itty bitty tiny yellow spot on my right eye has grown into this not so itty bitty big yellow BUMP! Day by day it seems to get a little bigger and a little more irritating. I was sure it would just go away until yesterday when I could feel it when I blink and felt a little ache in my eye. I made an appointment with an Opthamologist yesterday, but they can't see me until Thursday, yes THURSDAY! The very helpful receptionist had no suggestions to halt the growth of my new bump so for 2 more days I will wait and hope it doesn't take over the entire thing. Oh man, what is this freaky thing??
