My goddamn eyes.

Had dinner at Dan and Emily's tonight. We had to shut off the fan in the corner because it was drying out my eyes and they were burning. What the hell is wrong with my eyes? I'm so excited to go back to New York in a week in a half. Yes to see all the people I love. But also to see if the less dry weather will cure me of this annoying dry-eye syndrome. Oh you cannot understand the discomfort and frustration and ugliness-feeling I have been experiencing for the past 6 months.

Imagine feeling your eyelid scrape across your eye every time you blink. It can't be a good thing. Yet my eye doctor says my cornea is fine and intact. It's just very dry. Probably because of the dry climate. I've tried eye steroids, every possible brand of drops, ointments. Nothing works. I don't get it. They say that on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a normal eye and 1 being a dead person's tearless eye I am at a 3.

Funny how you just totally take your body's millions of stupid little processes for granted until one little thing starts screwing up.

And honestly the worst part about the whole thing is not the discomfort, but having to wear my glasses every day, EVERYWHERE. Especially when I'm going out. Yes it is totally superficial, but I'm sure all my involuntarily bespectacled brethren feel my pain.
