What else can i do when i'm down with conjunctivities and i'm not in a state to be seen in public? I find unopened jam cookie bake boxes in the pantry and weep while i bake. Weeping not because i am sad (though i am a little irritable at the change of weekend plans), but because my left eye have been so sore since friday night and the tears have been an uncontrollable side-effect. I cancelled all plans until my infection clears because i don't want to face the world outside and have people look at me and think i am a big one-eyed crybaby or an unbalanced drama queen. So here i am, stuck in my apartment with a jar full of jam cookies on a saturday night, watching Dinotopia with one eye and holding out on blinking for as long as i can, i'm craving for takeout coffee instead of the crappy instant ones, i'm only got a pack of frozen chicken drumsticks left for food, and i have so much freelance work to tackle semi-blind ... and at some point, i will have to venture out and get more food or coffee (whichever hits me the hardest first) and if the antibiotics haven't cleared up the infection by then ... look out world, it ain't gonna be pretty!
