Pressure in My Head

Last week I started sneezing more than usual. That didn't really set off any alarms at the time. Then towards the end of the week, or the beginning of this week, I noticed that my left eye looked like I had gotten soap in it. By that I mean the eye ball was slightly red and more veins were showing than normal.

Then it started to hurt everytime I looked at light and also when I moved it in a certain direction. The best thing to do then is to get off the computer and away from the TV so the eye can "rest" right? Well, I didn't lol. I have an eyepatch that is used when you look through a telescope but you can't close your other eye. Anyway, I thought that would give my eye a "rest", and Dad agreed that it would be best to keep light away from it, while I continued to go about my usual routine.

Then the eye started to water more than usual. So Dad started looking for eye drops in the house, but we don't have any.

Then early this morning, it got to the worst point...

I woke up around 4 a.m. There was this intense pain at the top left of my left eye, like were the eyebrow ends. Everytime I opened either of my eyes and looked at something with light this spot started to hurt. Also, my nose was very stuffy. At this point it was obvious that it was a sinus problem.

My eyes were watering constantly at this point. Daylight was starting to pour into the room, so this made it difficult to open my eyes. Initially, I laid face down on my bed but this only worsened the pain/pressure in my head. So then I tried laying on my back, but this meant I couldn't open my eyes because of the light coming through the windows.

Finally Dad got up around 6. I told him to come into my room and close the blinds on the windows so I could at least open my eyes. By then it was like I was crying. My eyes wouldn't stop watering, my nose was stuffy and running... gah it felt horrible.

Finally around 6:30 I got up and went into the bathroom. Luckily I found some sinus reliever in the cabinet. I read the box to see what they are used for:

Sinus Headache
Sinus Pain & Pressure
Nasal Congestion
Sneezing
Itchy, Watery Eyes
Runny Nose

I had all of those except for the sneezing.

So I took two of the horse pills, and flopped back down on my bed. I woke up around 10. My nose was completely clear, my eyes were fine, no pain or pressure in my head. The pills had done their job.

My left eye is still a bit red. I just took two more pills because the "itchy, watery eyes" symptom was back. So we'll see what happens next.


Here are some pics I took today of my new room:


Hmm... It looks smaller on here, but it's bigger than my previous room. The pile on the lower left corner is pictures that have to be hung up.

I still haven't gotten stuff where it's supposed to be yet.


My bed. The eyepatch can be seen on the night stand.



Pile of Kleenexes on the floor :p

I want to paint the night stand a brownish color to match the other wood in the room. It's green cos it matched Dad's room when he was a kid.




My new desk set up. Most of the things on the desk haven't found a home yet. I'm still working on putting everything where it should be.



Casper. Lucky is the multi-colored cat in the other pics. =^_^=


Well, I think I'll get off the computer for awhile. I'm gonna go read some more of Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets.


P.S.

HAPPY B-DAY MIKEY!

P.S.S. I got a MINI Cooper!

Happy Birthday Mirrorboy!!

I think the title says it all.

Sorry, I can't offer any cute cats, Axolotls, or boys for you like others have done. So you'll just have to deal with boring words lol.

Birthday Present

Today is Alex's birthday.

Yay!

I guess...

As my Twitter says, I gave him the skates and $10 in the card.

I saw him out using them already.

He hasn't said 'thank you' yet...

So...

Yeah...

That's all

I've Got an Idea: Part II

So like I told you, the plan I had earlier in the week fell through. For more than one reason, none really because of Alex.

The Pens won the game, so that means there will be other chances to have a pizza party. Since Alex DID reply to my invite (see this post), I guess he was at least somewhat interested in doing it.

I was also thinking that maybe I could invite Alex to go out and eat pizza for his birthday. I'm not sure if he'll go for that since he's turned down all my other invites to actually go out and do something.

I don't know. Just some ideas that I'm thinking about. Let me know what you think or whatever.

Also, I posted two Myspace things earlier today. Apparently they are getting annoying now, and they make Mboys 200th post seem innocent or whatever was said in the comment on the last one.

Cards and Flowers

As my Twitter says, Dad and I went to the store to get flowers and a card for Mother's Day. While we were there I decided I might as well get a card for Alex's birthday. I scanned them once we got back home. The scanner didn't go a good job, but at least you can read them.

I couldn't look at too many cards cos everybody and their sister was there looking also. So out of the hand full that I could look at, these ones were the funniest.

Also got two hanging baskets with flowers. Not sure what kind they are. They each have the same flower in them, just each is a different color. Red and purplish color (lavender?).

Mom also just called me and said she would be in church Sunday...which is a rare occurrence since Dad is there. They are weird like that.

OMG! I just realized that that means I won't be able to play pocket pool.

-_-

Alex's Birthday

Alex's birthday is coming up in about two weeks.

Last year I got him a card. It said something like, "I went out and bought you a computerless wire." (as opposed to a wireless computer) It had a piece of wire taped to it. I didn't put the money inside because I thought it would ruin the joke of the card since the bill would have covered up the wire. I tried to give him $20 (standard birthday money), but he wouldn't accept it lol.

But I don't think I'm gonna get him anything this year. Not even a card.

Am I being a sourpuss for saying that? lol

I bet his mother is going to buy him skates for his birthday. It's just a hunch I have for some reason. Oh well, then I can keep the ones here for myself... until my brother comes for the wheels someday...
