Pink-uh

I woke up this morning with my eyes glued together. No it wasn't a college prank, but lots and lots of 'golden slumbers'. Oh oh. Don't tell me...

I think I have pink eye. I'm getting good at self diagnosis.

I considered for one second returning to that ear, nose and throat clinic but thought twice. Instead I treked over to the nearest pharmacy, a two minute walk, and rehearsed my charade I planned to enact to communicate the problem. This one wouldn't be as easy as "Is this laundry detergent?" - point to clothes and say "wash??" or "I need floor cleaner" - pretend to clean the floor in the cleaning products aisle and then do the universal shoulder shrug and palms up to heaven. This one would take creativity and flair. Eyes glued together? Hmmm...

The pharmacist spoke English.

She gave me eye drops special for conjunctivitis (not even a prescription needed) and charged me three dollars. I walked home and was hit with the memory of my childhood detestation for eyedrops. I needed eyedrops as a kid. My mother used to have to give them to me and I cried and hated them. I'm sure she felt awful about it. I wished she was here now to give them to me and I felt a surge of homesickness for a moment.

Everything is fine though and I'm leaving in an hour for Jeju-do. Here are some of the things on the jam packed itinerary:

I have no idea what most of these things are but it should be good no matter what. At least it's not raining there like it has been here for the past day and a half non stop.

I really hate it when my umbrella bumps against someone else's or a tree. That feeling irritates me to no end. All my kids, even the least advanced ones, know the word umbrella. I remember learning it in Mrs. Jamieson's kindergarten class in French. It's a memorable word worldwide.
