I can think of the last time I had pink eye. I was in junior high, and I couldn't open my eye when I awoke. This morning, I couldn't open my right eye until I pried it open with my fingers (smart, yeah, I know). I took a look in the mirror, and my right eye was blood red. <sigh />

Since my livelihood depends open my hands and what I have to touch (keyboards and mice), it's probably a no-brainer where I got this from. Some kid in one of the schools probably is carrying the virus, and I happened to touch the computer they had touched. The funny thing is, I have this obsessive/compulsive disorder about my hands. I'm not to the point like you see in movies, but I am constantly washing my hands. It doesn't matter what I touch, I wash my hands immediately after. So it's kind of funny that I'm staying home from work for this problem. I don't get sick (except for a sinus infection about once a year), so for me to take a day off because of pink eye is a little hard to swallow. Why couldn't it be the flu? No, it had to be some stupid virus that infects one part of the body and that is high contagious.

Now my fear is to pass it on to Starla. So I'm going through everything I touched in the past day spraying with Lysol, and I'm washing my hands every 10 minutes. My eye is itching like crazy, but me scratching it is probably what got me in trouble to begin with. It's looking a little better after I put some drops in, so hopefully it'll be gone quickly.
