Today was an eye day, which is always a bad way to wake up. It was made doubly worse because yesterday was an eye day as well.

This all started last June when we were doing the bathroom tiles and I was poked in the eye by a corner of concrete board. At the time I noted that there was no permanent damage. Unfortunately, there are still times when the membrane covering the scratches pulls away. Obviously, this hurts.

And it always happens first thing in the morning, so I roll out of bed with a sore eye, hurriedly stumble down the stairs, and then scramble around looking for the ibuprofen. These things never being quick, it then takes the best part of an hour for the pain killers to kick in so that I can actually function. Well, I say "best part"... it's pretty miserable waiting for my eye to stop hurting.

Today was not a bad one as these things go (sometimes I get to work and then have to take a sicky because my eye still hurts and I can't concentrate), but I feel rather drained simply because it's the second one in a row.

I'm sure I'll feel better later, though.
