My eye!

I'm writing tonight through bleary eyes, or rather, a bleary right eye. For two days now I have been suffering from a corneal abrasion. Wow, that hurts. Today has been much better than yesterday, when it was a miracle that I didn't have a wreck driving home from playgroup. The sun was at its absolute brightest just to spite me. I've just started an antibiotic and pain-relief eyedrops, and the ghastly redness is going away.

Yesterday was also fun because Dominick got almost his entire left arm stuck inside a toy's ball chute during playgroup. We had to use olive oil to release it. Fortunately, no lasting harm was done.

My dad, who is in town helping my grandma prepare for a yard sale, had a good idea for dealing with Dom's nighttime issues. Last night he told Dom to order the lights to stay on the ceiling, so they both pointed sternly at the light and said "Stay!" Maybe it was only a coincidence, but Dom slept all night without any disturbances. He did the same thing tonight, so we'll see how it goes. My fingers are crossed.
