Eyes
you guys
why is my left eyelid swollen?
Yesterday it just hurt, like I'd slept wrong on my eye or something (which... I've actually done before. Or maybe it's the same thing except not as bad?) because I'm stupid and I sleep with my face on my favorite doll and she has plastic limbs and like maybe one pinched me or some shit idk.
but today it's a bit puffier. It really doesn't look that different to me but my mother's all OMG OH NO~ and usually it's the other way around (usually I convince myself I must be dying or having some sort of horrible rare disease and she looks at me with That Look and goes "Yes, I get that too. EVERYONE gets that." and goes about her business. Unless it's a cold-tye thing in which case she won't even look at me until my temperature goes above like 102, and considering my normal temperature is about 97.2, that takes a lot.).
So that's a bit worrisome. Both eyes are itchy and my throat is a teeeeeny bit scratchy and I feel like coughing every so often, so the current thought here is that it must be allergies. If it gets worse I'll go to the Walgreens doctor people, they're the cheapest. She gave me some benadryl (or at least, a store version... dipenhydramine, I think it's spelled?) so I'm waiting to see what happens there. It's supposed to make you sleepy but I think it makes me hyper.
It's not red or anything, the insides look the same as the insides of my other eye, and the eyeballs themselves both look exactly the same. So... whatever. That eye's always been squintier anyway. I can deal.
