Starladesiree's Journal, 03 June 2009

Ok. Moving + being broke = bad for diet. We've been eating a lot of fast food and pizza. BAD BAD BAD! I am off for the next three days though so the apartment is GOING to get in order, and I'm going shopping to get some healthy food! I feel like crap from all the junk. Really. I can't believe I ate that stuff all the time. So gross.... I haven't been very good with my water intake either. I know I'm retaining.

On the bright side, I've been moving a lot. So HOPEFULLY, I haven't actually been consuming more calories than I'm burning, and I haven't actually gained any fat... *crosses fingers*

The apartment is coming together nicely and I'm freaking loving it. It's so nice to feel like you actually LIVE somewhere instead of kind of floating around... My grandma is giving me her end tables and coffe table because she's decided to re-do her apartment. I'm buying a sofa on Friday. Other than that, I think the place is pretty much furnished. Oh, we still need a bed. Silly Japanese-culture-obsessed-boyfriend has just a futon mattress on the floor. Really. Not. Comfy.

Funny story.. Yesterday it felt like I had something in my eye all freaking day. It was driving me insane. I tried flushing my eye with water, did the whole flip-eyelid-inside-out thing (gross, I know), and could not see ANYTHING. I had tears streaming down my face from my eye watering and kept sneezing from it too. Lol. Last night my eye started swelling up so bad. My boyfriend told me he loved me even with my mutant eye. Thanks, sweetie. Right? Lol. This morning it was still swollen and painful so when I got to work I stole the eye wash from the first aid cabinet and used the whole damn bottle on my eye. It felt a lot better but still irritated. I realized it was only one spot on my eye that was hurting, so I now think I scratched my cornea. Googled how to treat it.. Basically said keep it clean and don't blink because it irritates the scratch. So I've been at work all day with my right eye swollen, red, and taped shut. Lol. I've worn my sunglasses most of the day...

Awww... that's sweet. You know it's serious when he'll stick with you and your mutant eye. LOL Yeah, I've scratched my cornea before (damned contacts!), it definitely sucks. I tried to sleep most of the time just so I wouldn't have my eye open.

Yeah my eye is better. After having it taped shut for just a few hours, it felt tons better. But I kept it shut the rest of the day just to keep from irritating it again. It's been better since. Yay! Except now I'm like, paranoid, about doing it again. I need to get a pair of goggles or something. Lol. My weight is down again. Thank goodness. I've been so active unpacking/cleaning/organizing still that I must be burning tons of calories. I barely had time to eat yesterday. I've still got some stuff to do but the big thing today is I GET TO GO BUY A FREAKING SOFA! WOOOOT!

YAY! Buying furniture is so much fun! I hope you have a great time AND a great weekend! Kudos on taking care of your eye yourself. I would have ran screaming and crying to a doctor. You've got strength, girl!

I don't HATE doctors. I just hate going to doctors when I know they're just going to tell me something along the lines of "treat it by this(most logical think I've already been doing anyway)" and "it will get better on its own." So I typically avoid docs except for my gyno and if I'm REALLY sick and not getting better w/ self-treatment. /0... I've done enough carrying lately. I think I will just pay the extra to have them deliver the damn thing. I'm pretty sure I could help move a couch... but I don't have a truck... and I'm going w/ my sister... you know the one from the pics? That's naturally tiny and dainty. Yeah. Lol.

true true. I didn't have insurance for 2 years after college, and I never went in. I usually just call my mom and explain all my symptoms and she provides treatment details! Gotta love moms. GLAD you are having the couch delivered. Moving couches especially sucks. You deserve it!

I have one of those sisters! Good luck on your couching. I hope it works out for you. It's funny that /0 said "congratulations on your loss." Only on a weight-loss website would someone congratulate you for a loss, lol. I did something like that with my eye a few months ago. I had class, too, and it looked like I had been crying all day. It was embarrassing.
