I just slept a lot... I was having huge problems getting to sleep last night, so I ended up taking sominex (we're out of Ambien) - which is just Benadryl, just taking advantage of the whole antihistamine-drowsiness effect. My throat felt very dry when I was trying to sleep, and one of my eyes was hurting. So finally I fell asleep and ended up being crashed out until like midnight... that's 17 hours for anyone who is counting. To be fair, it wasn't uninterrupted: there was some house-renovation going on in the next room, with a lot of banging and pounding and swearing. & the electricity was turned off for a while, so the clock by my bed was 3 hours slow when I got up. I thought it was 9PM... and I thought that was bad enough! (At the moment I don't feel like I'll ever be able to sleep again.)

Now I am just going to figure out what to do with myself until it's time for breakfast. I'll probably go for a walk at dawn, get some exercise. I'd like to go see Ghost World if it's playing around here, but I would definitely have to go to the earliest matinee. My eye is still hurting, and if it gets any worse I may have to go to a clinic and have it checked out... it's all weird and red and slightly swollen, and the lid hurts... I think something may have irritated it, a bit of dried sleepgoo or something.

Heavenly Creatures is on in the other room. I enjoyed it when I saw it... or rather, thought it was "a good movie", but I don't want to see it again. It's psychotic and disturbing. Strange that I would say that, with all the things I do like and watch many times over that are disturbing and/or psychotic, but it's true. I used to read Anne Perry's mysteries (Anne Perry is the pen name of Juliet Hulme, Kate Winslet's character in the film), and enjoyed them a lot, so I don't know why I feel this way about the movie.

um, it kind of doesn't sound like your eye is just irritated. having your lids hurt must be ghastly. i hope you feel better soon.
