Eyeball blogging

If I could only express how much I do NOT want to go into school tomorrow....

I went to get my eyes checked out on Saturday and my prescription hasn't changed (as if it could get any worse!), but I'm at risk for neovascularization. Basically, because I wear contacts and abuse my eyes, my cornea isn't getting enough oxygen, so the blood vessels in my eyes are growing towards my cornea. I'm still okay, but if they get into my cornea, I have to stop wearing contacts and it basically leaves scarring that leaves me at risk for infections. Other than that, and my retina thinning (but I'm still okay, no treatment necessary), my eyes are great. I abuse them, I know, and I have to start realizing it. Sigh. SO it's glasses for me for the next little while, and hopefully switching to higher permeability lenses. I'm really quite blind you know. Sigh.

Anyway, actually, so my point with the whole eyeball thing was that I had a million drops in my eyes, stared at a million letters, and basically my eyeballs are tired. All I want to do is shut them. For a very long time. Like, during tomorrow. Ahahaha. And the next day. And then maybe I'll go teach again on Wednesday.
