So I occasionally get some kind of blockage or irritation in one of my tear ducts. It feels like a heaviness or congestion in the eye and sinus area with a kind of hard little lump in the corner of that eye, and the eye will water heavily or even spill over because the tears aren't draining. And usually I can kind of massage or press on that little hard thing and eventually expel a little bit of some sort of gunk and backed-up tears back into the sinus, giving me a few moments of pretty awful-tasting post-nasal drip, but also a great sense of relief.

Well, this time it apparently went into an upper duct rather than down or I don't know what because I just dripped tears out my nose SUPER WEIRD UGH

...so how's by you?

Ehh, I'm OK, aside from a bit of anxiety hangover (details forthcoming, but you probably know why).

[arethinn]

I was gonna ask good anxiety or bad anxiety, but I guess now I know :(

[andros_b]

Well, at the time it was bad anxiety for another reason -- me having a bout of angst over tonight's phone interview. I didn't find out about the LinkedIn rejection until this evening.

I wonder if you have an allergy?

[arethinn]

Not that I know of, unless you mean I managed to get some foreign substance into one eye, but then I would wonder what it is that I touch once or twice a year and not more often than that. I would think if it were an allergy to something in the environment it would affect both eyes simultaneously.

I had some kind of wonky itch in my ear which I was worried for a while might be some kind of infection, but now it seems to be going away, so I guess maybe not, or maybe such a small one that it got eaten by my immune system? It's like it got lightly jammed with crud or something? It felt like it was itching inside the ear canal and it was decidedly one of the more awkward physical sensations I've had. Yerg.

To summarize the summary of the summary, bodies are a problem.

Damn hooman physiology.
