Thank you all for your excellent advice about my icky eye situation. I did apply moist heat, and I did go see the doctor. Two things happened there (well, lots of things, really, but two I am going to TALK ABOUT), ( one that's semi-gross so I'm going to lj-cut it. )
Wow, that turned out to be a long way to say: WATCH OUT! I may occasionally post about my newfound need to watch what I eat! lol. I don't honestly think I'll post about it all that much, because... it's not that interesting. Not even to me. BUT! I do think I may jump up and down a bit if things are going well. :-)
