I started getting pink eye symptoms in my left eye on Saturday. I tried allergy eye drops first, but they barely touched the symptoms. Then I found some leftover antibiotic eye drops from the last time I had pink eye, so I'm using those for now and they seem to be working. The weather was so bad here over the weekend, especially yesterday, I didn't want to try to go to urgent care. I usually wear contacts and now won't be able to for a week, so that's a bummer. I also had to throw away my eye makeup and that I used the day or two before the symptoms started, so that will cost $ to replace.
DH went to the Detroit Lions game last night. It was a nail-biter til the end, but all Lions fans are super happy today. Finally, they made it to the playoffs after a long time.
The roads weren't great today, but school wasn't cancelled, and no MLK, Jr day off for me or the kids. (DH does have today off.) I think the superintendent was making up for a bad call on a snow day last week.
I'm a die hard MN fan but once our season was done, I became a Lion's fan. I don't think they can make it all the way to the Superbowl but I'm cheering for them as far as they can go.
Not only was it a great game but the aftergame interviews and just the scenes from the stadium were amazing to see
Ugh. DS1 just came back from urgent care with a flu A diagnosis. This poor child had Covid for the first time the first week of school, acute bronchitis last month that he never really fully got over, and now the flu. This is my immunity superstar who never gets sick - I swear I think the Covid weakened him a lot. It’s his junior year and both fall XC and winter track have been so tough with these illnesses. He is SO upset. And I’m isolated with Covid so can’t help him. This winter is terrible!
Another freeze another warning from ERCOT that we may not have enough power. Cool cool. I have seen this movie before and it resulted in a burst pipe. Can we not do this again? I swear Texas. Get it together.
They won’t. They’ve done nothing since the last major freeze that killed people. I work in the industry that would make changes to the infrastructure and they’re doing Jack shit. It’s really something.
That game was so hard to watch. WTF, team. Why don't you even play hard anymore. Sad to see Kelce go, but I'm happy for him and his family. I hope Cox and Graham stick around.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
