Giving the Stink Eye to Pink Eye

Ickiness has visited our house in the form of yellow eye slime. The adults haven't gotten it yet, but our girl is a mess. She has a fever in addition to the slime and the red puffy eye, and to add insult to injury, we're required to put ointment ON HER EYEBALL three times a day. Andy's mom has gotten the closest so far; my attempts have just resulted in smearing on the outside (she is very, very strong and can shut her eyes harder than I ever could) with the hope that some of it gets in there.

I ran 10 miles with my dad on Sunday morning. We walked A LOT and spent a good bit of time at the gas station buying and drinking Gatorade. It was very humid and apparently I'm still pretty out of shape! I'm relying on walking a lot to get me through the miles, and it actually feels pretty good. I think it's always a good idea to mix up paces, and I've been doing strides at the end of runs or pushing at the end. So although I have some really slow stuff in there I add in some faster stuff to hopefully ease myself back into shape.

Sorry about the pink eye. My son had it when he was 10 days old. I completely understand about the ointment. It was really hard to get it spot on. I made my husband do it, because I wasn't any good at it. Additionally we had to give him antibiotics for 14 days (4 times/day). Yuck!

I gotta say - the title of this entry made me laugh out loud! (of course I know the whole situation is not very funny at all...) Best of luck with getting that ointment in the right place and glad to hear the running is coming around for you! :)
