an unexpected week

On Monday night, my eye hurt. Nothing crazy, just a little sore. Tuesday morning I went to work and it was a little bit swollen and irritated, but I let it go. Nothing major. At 1:00, my boss sent me home with pink eye. Sophie had it about 2 weeks ago and I must've picked it up when I changed her sheets or touched something germy.

That being said, my boss hasn't let me come back to work all week. I went in yesterday and when she saw me said, "What are you doing here? Go home. I'm serious. You can't be here!" I called her this morning and she told me to stay home again today. So here's a rundown of my week...

Tuesday afternoon: Nap. Picked up Sophie at 3:00.

Wednesday: Swallowed my guilt and took Sophie to day care. I SERIOUSLY cleaned my living room (I'm talking pulled out couches, went through magazines, vacuumed the radiators, CLEANED) and created a little reading nook. Then I made a pot of tea and played Zelda.Thursday: Tried to go to work and was sent home, but not until I wiped down my area with alcohol swabs. My mother-in-law had Sophie so Roy and I had breakfast than I slept from (you ready for this?) 11:30 - 2:30. Mmmm.... nap. Played a little more zelda, did a little more cleaning, then Sophie came home.

Friday: I don't know yet! Sophie's taking an early nap and I'm looking forward to a day of playing. I might call the doctor seeing as my eyes are still pink and itchy. But I have rested and taken some time for myself this week. Unexpected and wonderful.

he he he, you Zelda fiend...I'm sure you needed the time off though. I use to get pink all ALL THE TIME. Warm up a wet wash cloth and put it on your eye. It really helps soothe it.
