So I have a sty ("an Inflammation of one or more sebaceous glands of an eyelid) in my right eye again. I had one several months ago. They hurt, and are really annoying. The last one went away on it's own, which was good since I couldn't get in to see a doctor, because it didn't present itself until the weekend. Part of me is slightly worried about it, and part of me isn't worried at all, as I've been through this before, but what if it's different? One thing that isn't different is that I probably can't get a doctor's appointment before monday, as it's pretty late in the week as it is. Another thing that isn't different is that I don't have insurance. I was signed up to get insurance through my domestic partner, and his business was all for it, as I became his domestic partner on their very premises, and they all know me, but the insurance company gave my insurance a delay, when it didn't delay anyone elses. So my insurance, assuming they give it to me at all, doesn't kick in until April. This really pisses me off now. It annoyed me before, but now, when I probably need to see a doctor, and I don't have the cash for it - now I'm being screwed by the government. Michigan no longer recognizes domestic partnerships, though some businesses allow for them anyways (such as UofM), and Mark's company is willing, but that this is even an issue is just disgusting.

I was going to ask DJ about the schedule next week, and see if it's possible to get some time off late in the week, like Wednesday-Friday so Jonathan could come visit us. Mollie has Friday off, so if I did have to work that day, I could leave him with Mollie so they could bond ;-0) But if this eye thing doesn't clear up... erg. I do want to talk to a doctor about this problem, and I was going to bring it up at my next visit. I was going to talk about the sty I had, and how my father has them really bad, and ask if there was something preventative that I could begin; eyedrops or something. Erg.

I saw the new JLU yesterday; with the Legion of Superheroes, "Far From Home". I hope the new LOSH series in the works is a spinoff of this episode, because that would rock. And while continuity is a difficult thing, it's worth it, and would be so much easier in a series set a thousand some years after the last one. A few crossovers, and Supergirl's outlook on things, and you've got it covered! But as much as I want the new series to be part of the DCAU, and for the new Superman DTV to be part of it as well, I'm not holding my breath. But the new episode had some of my favorite Legion heroes; these are characters I knew nothing about 4 years ago, and only learned of through collecting slash art! Now I know them all by name, and their histories & stuff! See - porn is good! ;-0) The new episode also featured more precursors to Zeta. I wish I was one of those people who worked on the DTV story ideas, because I'd interject little ideas that could connect the shows even more than they are. It would be sweet to see a Zeta followup, in which he seeks the help of the Justice League Unlimited featuring Micron, Superman, Aquagirl, Batman Beyond, Warhawk, Barda Free, and Static - he'd relate the main story of the series, and the JLU would help wrap everything up. Maybe get a hand from Dick Grayson, and help explain why Zeta looks different on his show than he did in his first appearance on Batman Beyond. That kind of stuff goes on in my head all the time. lol

I wrote 12 new poems in January. That's over half of the number that I wrote in all of last year. And I got art finished for all of the poems this year too, which was not the case at all last year. I've got some extras finished, but I don't feel like writing right now; maybe later. I'm proud of myself for getting the art & poetry done though. I didn't realize how much I missed it. I was caught in a rut, poetry wise. But then I was thinking about how I used to write a lot, and what inspired me then, and that set me on my current course, which is a lot of fun, actually.

I should probably at least call work, and see if I can get tomorrow off. I have Saturday off, and I close on Sunday; perhaps my eye could clear up by then? I don't know. I get all wishy washy when I have call in. This has never been a problem for me at any other job - but this one, people depend on me, and they're people that I care about. My other jobs, I blew off work all the time. I've missed less work in nearly 4 years at this job, than I did in any one of the 3 years I did working at Meijer. I'm proud of that too.

I'm hungry. I'm gonna eat, and maybe watch an episode of ANGEL. Mark is picking Mollie up from work at 7pm, so she can come over and watch some Desperate-Together-Nip/Tuck episodes. Watching stuff is less fun though, when there are spikes inside your eyelids. But I don't want to miss seeing Mollie. I'll make the most of it. I want some raspberry poptarts, but I don't have any. And Mark has the car, which is fine, since driving might kill me right now.
