Would you believe the shy, quiet, single girl about these supposed "allergies" on V-Day? Yeah, maybe I wouldn't either, but I promise you, they were honest-to-goodness sinuses-acting-up-and-sensitive-eye tears.
Don't worry: this isn't a Valentine's Day post. 1.) because thanks to my posting schedule I missed that b.) you are probably tired of all the VD posts and cat.) I have no advice for single ladies out there, because I spent my night in a Nyquil induced coma, trying to sleep away the tears.
Gailey-bird, my two year old niece, asked Vyelit to be her Valentine. She sent her a video yelling, "Tia Vyelit, BE MY VALENTINE." She also made her a purple card. Obviously I was pretty jealous.
I went over to Pink's house last night and Gailey was excited to see me.
"Oooooh no," I said, as she asked to be taken off the dining room chair. "You didn't ask ME to be your Valentine."
"Yeessss," she said quickly, apparently searching her brain. "But I sent a purple card with Tia Vyelit and I know you would see it too!"
Pretty sneaky. Pretty sneaky.
I spent most of yesterday asking my co-workers not to look at me directly, and not to expect me to look at them. For some reason, looking at other people's eyes sets off my tearing. I wish I were making that up.
Friday I have an appointment with an advisor at my job/school about starting up in the summer term aka the "hey you'll start paying for my school after my year anniversary at the job? Sure! I'll start now!" term. I was really excited about starting school again AND THEN! I looked at my unofficial transcripts from my previous course work. Holy bad decisions Batman. I wish I could go back and yell at then me so hard. She was lazy and very unaware of the future and of long term consequences.
I'd yell at Then!Lorraine so much, she'd probably start crying, and not 'cause of allergies.
This may be a few days late, but I like to be totally indie that way: I love you all. Hope you all have wonderful, clear-eyed weekends.

I should point out that the ad choices to the left-hand side feature "chronic dry eye" and "ask an eye doctor online." :P
I, too, spent my Valentine's Day tearing up. And sneezing. And rubbing my nose raw with tissues. The only pink favor I saw that day was a benadryll pill. :P
My eyes are always messed up from allergies. I say just roll with it and see if people give you free candy.
It makes me glad I wasn't at work if that happened to you. Bad day to be single with allergies.
If it makes you feel any better... Im allergic to Valentines Day! At least that's what my girlfriend tells me?
Allergies ruin everything.
Google ads are so smart! Too bad they make me about $0.01 every 11ty years.
VALENTINE ALLERGIES FOR YOU TOO? What's up with that? Clearly Jesus owes us one, or something.
So far all I've gotten are a ton of "are you okay?"s. And those make me so ANNOYED. YES I AM OKAY. I guess I'm not really. My eyes are trying to kill me.
Don't I know it. I had chocolate though. Chocolate and tears.
Thankfully, the cure to that is February 15th. I think you are in the clear!
Amen.
Where's Ben Stein when you need him?!
The only Valentine's anything I got was from MY PARENTS. Cringe times a millionty.
Random installment of Would You Rather: have allergies on Valentine's Day OR have to actually *eat* a serving of mac and bonfire? Just curious! <3
And there is the punchline. :)
If you remember, I quite expertly got out of eating mac and bonfire by hiding it all over the place, so clearly, I'd just do that again. ;)
Someone had to :) Hope your eyes have stopped trying to kill you so hard!
Eep allergies!! Sounds so awkward.
I have seasonal allergies and I get attacks every September for some reason. It's a good thing that there's no special lovey-dovie occasion every September or I'm effed.
Hope your eyes are better now.
Hope your allergies are doing better now!
Oh Lor! If you need to complain about lack of discipline in the past, come to me! I know exactly where you're coming from!
Yeh I'd probably want to yell at my 'then me' as well. I was a bit lazy for my uni work too and could have gone a lot better!
I would LOVE to go back and yell at my 18 y/o self about college knowing what I know now. I don't know if I would have stuck with my psych major but still, I'd have finished by now.
Your poor eyes! Hope they cleared up. Gailey-Bird sounds like such a smart cookie!
I hate when people assume that just because your eyes are leaking that you're emotionally unstable and on the verge of tears. Sometimes you just have shit in your nasal passages and the nasal h8ers are just giving you a hard time.
I BELIEVE YOU, LOR.
Lol, that's so cute. I love little kids. And I believe you about allergies! :D
A)It's easy to slip up during studies (I've been in college for 5 years now and I still make a lot of bad decisions), but I'm sure you'll stay on the right road once you find the path. Now!Lorraine can do this! B) Feel better. C)Cat?
I was really hoping someone would.
And thank you, I'm not dead yet! Success!
It really is. Especially when your boss is trying to tell you important stuff and tears are just leaking.
MY BIRTHDAY IS IN SEPTEMBER AND IT IS A LOVELY DOVEY OCCASION. Sort of. I'm really sad you cry for my birthday.
My eyes are better-ish, thank you.
I smell a new email chain! :)
It worked out okay for you though! Cross your fingers for me.
I"m really glad I'm not the only one. I mean, I'm not glad we were all lazy but I suppose hindsight affects us all.
I would've been about to graduate from Pharmacy school. It's kind of depressing to think about, but then I remember how much I hate organic chemistry and how badly it was killing my soul.
She is the best. I wish I could just follow her around and record all the awesome things she says and does. Someone should pay me to do that.
THANK YOU. I think I want a shirt that says either "sometimes you just have shit in your nasal passages" OR "nasal h8ers."
Thank you for believing me. I love you.
Next time someone asks me if I'm crying, I'm going to respond, "THE INTERNET BELIEVES ME." This will probably not work out as well as I'm imagining.
a.) Thank you. Now!Lorraine feels a lot better now that the ball is rolling. b.) thank you again! I'm trying. :) and c.) YES. THERE IS ALWAYS A CAT.
