The strangest thing happened last night.  I had the freaky eye infection thing, and it was causing my head to ache, so I took another one of the Tylenol flu pills.  It took forever to kick in, but I eventually fell asleep.  Then, at 2am, I awoke to extreme pain in my head.  This time it felt like somebody was stabbing my brain with a knife.  It was excruciating.  I thought I'd have to drive to emergency.  I contemplated waking up my sister to tell her that she'd have to drive me to the hospital, but I took another pill and tried to live with the pain until the pill kicked in.  I was sure it wasn't going to kill any pain because this was super intense.... but, after about 30 minutes, I felt a wave of relief wash over me.  I was worried that I'd wake in the morning to the same pain, but when my alarm went off at 6:30am, I had no pain in my head and my eye was completely healed.  So in about a four hour span, I went from experiencing the worst pain I've ever felt, to feeling 100% healthy.  What??
So, Lurline's theory is that I was abducted by aliens and they put a probe in my head, but initially it was in the wrong spot, so they re-abducted me to fix it.
I believe the hand of God reached into my room and healed me.
Others believe that it might have been a sinus infection and the Tylenol flu pill released the pressure and that's why I was suddenly better.
Whatever the real cause, I was happy that it was over!

After work, Lurline, Tristan and I went to Bankview to take a look at another apartment for me.  It was a 2 bedroom in an older building.  I liked it because it was big and had hardwood floors and insuite laundry.  My cat will like it too, I think.  Most importantly, it's not too far from work.  So I called the property management guy and told him I'd like to fill out an application.  Hopefully I'll get it!!  That would be a big relief.

Anyway, I made plans to meet Bryn at KP (Kensington Pub) tonight.  Lurline came with me.  When we got there, Sean and some of his musician friends were there.  So we joined their table and heard some great stories.  It was a lot of fun!  All night, I kept looking at this dog who was keeping watch over our table, so I had to take a photo:
