2am, and all is not well
Nov. 23rd, 2016 02:09 amI was asleep.
I was dreaming.
I got a MASSIVE FUCKING PAIN IN MY EYE that instantly jolted me awake (although I had to properly excuse myself from the meeting/presentation in which I was participating in the dream due to an eye issue, go figure). I couldn't open my eyelid and my left eye began to immediately sting and tear up like mad.
It's taken me 30 minutes and two doses of Clear Eyes to be able to keep my eye open for longer than a couple milliseconds. The right eye decided it didn't want to be left out and was also red and tearing, but the left is absolutely throbbing. It feels like it's dry eyes from hell, and I can only hope it isn't infected. I was up pretty late this evening staring at my tablet while playing a game, and I ran out of Benadryl last night, so my sinuses are acting up tonight. I have a feeling that the irritated dry eye got scratched during the REM cycle.
Here's the other half. I have discovered two mosquito bites since waking up. I'm still 99.9% sure it was a scratch on the eye during REM that has caused this, but there's now a .1% chance that I somehow got a mosquito bite ON my freaking eyeball in the middle of the night, and that thought is going to give me nightmares if and when I ever do manage to go back to sleep.
Fucking Hell.
