The eyes have it

The recent dearth of postings can be attributed to my left eye, which of late has been beyond bloodshot, sometimes feeling like exploding because someone overinflated it. The redness has gone down some in the last few days, thank goodness—the devilchild look just isn’t me. In any case, I’ve tried not to be on the computer very much, which seems to help. I’ve spent too many hours in the last week in the dark, listening to the radio with an icepack over my eye. During my seeing hours, so to speak, I grade the 30 8-10 page midterms I have on my desk in the hopes that I can hand them back a week from tomorrow.
As a result of my increased aural activity, I’ve heard quite a bit of commentary on all-things Iraq, the most interesting being a global call-in show jointly hosted by NPR and the BBC. People from Turkey, Pakistan, Finland, Scotland, and various states in the U.S.A. weighed in, and it was good to hear a variety perspectives from around the world.
I’ll be going to the doctor on Tuesday if I can get an appointment. Hopefully they don’t have to do anything gruesome like drain eyeball fluid or perform emergency operation on my brain. Come to think of it though, maybe the latter would solve some of my other problems.
