Considering it...

Was doing a bit of research on the eye plugs. It seems to be about 50 50 with what people say. Some it really helps, others not so much, and some have problems. It scares the hell outta me, but...I think I might try it. It might help...it just scares me. But I'm sick of this dry eye and having to always put drops it. I'll talk to my mom later, but I think I'll try it. ![]()
Eye plugs?
Maroon Caludin told a tale on January 26th 2012
Was off today. So went out with my mom as usual.
I had an eye appointment first. My eyes are mostly the same. I told the doctor bout my bad dry eye. He put some weird dye in my eyes to check it out and he did see some like at the corners of my eyes. He suggested using some lubecant eye drops (like I've been doing and the kinds I've been using). He also suggested plugging the holes in my lids (apparently they have small holes meant for drainage). He said it would help keep my eyes moist longer. Its $120. That or medicated eye drops, but he said they're expensive. I'm considering getting the plug thing done...it sounds like it might help. There are disolving one that he said you can try first and see how they work. I could maybe try that. My mom's gonna research it and see what she can find out. If its all good, I think I'll try it. Though it scares me a little. Eye stuff scares me... ![]()
Afterwards we went over to Bon Ton. I picked up another dog bed for my dog. For in my room. She has one she uses downstairs. She was sleeping in it before. So, hopefully she will still. Then, we went to Rite Aid and K Mart. I just picked up some lotion, chap stick, and eye wash for my eyes. Afterward we went to Arby's. ![]()
Watched a little TV, then napped, and ate dinner, and more TV.
After this gonna try to clean.
Oh! I won another signed book from Frewin Jones site. "Destiny's Path: Merion of the Stones." Its the UK edition of "The Emerald Flame." Same book different title. I have it, but it'll be signed!
He said he'll be holding one for the last book which won't be releashed in the US, but will in the UK which I'll try to enter. Otherwise I'll try to get a hold of a copy. He's one of my favorite authors. I love his The Faerie Path series.
Sadly, I haven't been doing much reading, but I'm gonna try to get back to it. I've been tired and lazy. ![]()
I gotta work on finishing up the next chapter of "An Unfair Trade." I have it done, just gotta type it, print it, edit it, and fix it up. So, should be done in time. I'm trying not to do much with editing at this point. I'm trying to be laid back with it till its all done. But, I want it edited a little. Like at least with spelling.
Lot of stuff I gotta get to work on actually. Just gotta try to take it slow though, I guess.

Today normally would of been a day off. But supposedly this girl couldn't work cause she hurt her foot. I was asked to work so I agreed. This was yesterday. I come in and the girl apparently did come in. Which annoyed me. I still ended up working, but I was very annoyed. I'm not fond of the girl to begin with. Then, later a customer had ordered chocolate drizzel on the bottom and top of her moca frappe. She had asked me over the headset if I got it. I didn't answer. Its a pain trying to find the button. I'm not used to it, because I don't really use the headsets much, I wear them though. She came up a bit later and was checking the bottom. I told her it wasn't her place to check cause it annoyed me. Probably should of kept my mouth shut though. Meh, these younger workers annoy me so much. I do try not to be nasty...its just hard. I don't like being nasty...
Anyway, a bit later the one manager asked if I wanted to go home early. It was slow. I said yes. I wanted to get out of there. Really, I hadn't been needed so there was no reason for me to be there.
The day just kinda annoyed me. Wasted my day off. Some of it (after I got home) I wasted myself, but that's my choice. Work wasted some of it. Not off again till Thursday...work has been really getting to me again...meh, its...getting to be that time of month. I think that's why I'm so...angered lately. I always freak about worries and stuff around then.
Sometimes usually round this time I think its time for a new job...but I'll stick it out for now. I do miss my morning hours...that still angers me that they got taken away since some people in the morning take the bus and supposedly can't work late then. Yeah, uh they have before so bull. I like that I can stay up late, but I hate working with the younger ones and working at night and not getting out till later. Mostly it angers me since I had that shift for several months and then BAM was back on the later ones. Oh, and that the store manager had told me he wanted me on them. It just upets and angers me sometimes...(when I think bout it like now sometimes it makes me wanna cry) ![]()
Whatever. I'm staying where I am right now. Just gotta suck it up.
Update!
Maroon Caludin told a tale on January 22nd 2012
Updated the Entrial Tales web comic!
This time I tried markers. I changed some colors of the background. I forgot what I colored and at the time couldn't look it up (was at work) and had limited colors. I decided to be mornic and try white outting on marker to fix some text. So, that's why the first panal looks very odd. Overall, I'm mostly happy with it. Someday, I need to get more colors...anyway check it out!
Poppy Day!
Maroon Caludin told a tale on January 19th 2012
Hm, now that I'm moving about I'm not cold.
I was laying on my bed before and was colds!
Anyway, today was my "Megan Day." I went shoppings with my mom. I picked up some dog toys (its also my dog Poppy's Birthday! She's three years old! Happy Birthday, Poppy!
), got some more Vaseline aloe lotion (I love the cool feel of it), a new iPod player (right here! Love it!), socks, "A Million Suns" by Beth Revis, Sailor Moon volume 3, and "Santa Mouse" by Michael Brown (with all three stories. I have an older copy, but its pretty worn. One of my favorite childhood books). After shopping we got some food at Arby's. ![]()
Then later I made some brownies in honor of Poppy's birthday and wrapped her gifts. Which she opened after dinner. She quite enjoyed this rubber ball. She has another one which she adores which is why we got another. Its her very favorite. She's always running around with it.
I've finished the sketch of this week's web comic. I better start coloring. I'm behind...kinda. I'm gonna try markers this week.

Crappy Day
Maroon Caludin told a tale on January 13th 2012
Had a crappy day at work.
I had just mopped the lobby. The one maintence man came in bitching about the floor being too wet and that he almost slipped. Okay, when I mop I do it really dry. Like it dries within minutes. Obviosly, not too wet. And the area he was referring to probably was the last area I did, and its been wet there all day with customers coming in and out with the snow and all. So, yes it is gonna be a little wet. I can't do anything about that. And there were wet signs on both ends of that area. I told him I did it as dry as I could. He contiuned to go on about it. I said it again in a tense voice, and a little louder. I said nothing rude or anything just "I tried to get it as dry as I could." He called me a bitch and kept going off on it as he went in the back. Natually, I got upset. I asked to use the bathroom cause I was like crying. When I came back one of the managers said to go back to the bathroom. Apparently he had gotten sent home and was swearing about it in the back. So, I did. Eventually another manager came in. She said she had to send me home to be fair to him.
My mom says it was probably for protection so he couldn't say only he got in trouble or whatever. I did ask and she said I did nothing wrong. Just...angers me. And upsets me. Kinda crying now to be honest...it still upsets me. I did what I was supposed to and I said nothing nasty. The most I did was raise my voice. He was swearing and calling me names. I just better not hear anything more. Hey, I have witnesses anyway. Like three managers saw it. I know one said she wanted to write him up.
I guess at least I get out early, but its kinda crappy. Like I'm being punished when I did nothing wrong. Hopefully this is the last I'll hear of it...
More cleaning
Maroon Caludin told a tale on January 12th 2012
Did some more work on my room. Hung up posters and took what I didn't want down. Need to just wash all my bed stuff. First, I'll have a bath. After my silk PJ's are clean. They're drying now. ![]()
Feels great for everything to be cleanish. ![]()
Done! Mostly...
Maroon Caludin told a tale on January 12th 2012
I decided while working on cleaning the section I was working on today, to try and finish the rest of the room. Which I did. Mostly. Some other stuff I gotta do. Bring stuff from downstairs, hang stuff, etc. And go through my writings. But everything else is pretty much done.
It looks so nice now! Hopefully, I can keep it that way.
So tired from cleaning though... ![]()
That's pretty much what I did after work. Gonna try to get some other stuff done, but I dunno if that'll happen. ![]()
Poor thoat is very dry today. ![]()
