* Today I managed to get an eyelash in my eye mid-sleep cycle. It took ages to get it out and even longer to get back asleep. My eye was still irritated as of this writing. When I woke up for real later, it was clear the sinus infection had launched an attack ip my right ear canal. I'm taking the strongest non-antibiotic measures to head it off available to me. My lungs are holding firm, which is helpful. Seriously, this is bacterial and not dangerous, just exhausting and annoying.
