Or at least crankier than usual.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>My niece&#8217;s birthday was last weekend and my sister threw a party.  It was rubber ducked themed and my sister made cup cakes that looked like little ducks.   My niece enjoyed the presents &#8211; or rather, the boxes they came in and the cards &#8211; and had a lot of fun running around.  I tried to keep up with her &#8211; but she wore me out.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Earlier this week, I woke up with a sore eye &#8211; which swiftly turned red and started, well, oozing.  Kinda looked like the squishy gunk when you fall asleep &#8211; but before it turns to &#8220;sand&#8221;.  There was a lot of it too.   I bought some eye drops and an eye patch to try and give it a break.  This has been a couple of days ago, and it&#8217;s getting better &#8211; though this morning the gunk sealed both my eyelids shut until I could get some warm water on them.  Gross and weird.  My eyes are still pretty red, but getting better.  It&#8217;s most likely pink eye &#8211; which will go away by itself.  I&#8217;m trying to keep from touching my eyes and I&#8217;m washing my hands like I&#8217;ve got OCD &#8211; so, I should be back to normal soon.  Or at least as close as I ever get.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I watched Salt last night on DVD.  Good stuff.  Lots of action and some nice plot twists.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Finally, I&#8217;ve volunteered to make some origami hearts for a fund raiser dinner\/dance coming up soon.  I&#8217;m hoping to get the final count today before I can leave so I can get the paper cut and start folding this evening.  It&#8217;s not a very complicated fold, but it will take some time to get them done.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/6913097901389264887-1282093537237993613?l=thunderofwade.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m still doing battle with the remnants of strep throat &#8211; though it&#8217;s now reduced itself to a sore throat and occasional cough.
