Mercy me, my eyes are dry. I blink and I blur and I cloze my eyez and roll zem in zee smallezt of circlez in zer zocketz. Sweet relief! I cry (but my eyes don't cry, my voice does because it is my eyes that are dry and if they were crying they would not be dry, you see).
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."

Oh poor you! I hope your eyes start feeling better again soon.
me too! Your poor sweet bambi eyes.:)
drops....get some...they work...:)
Thanks everyone! Yes, my eyes already are feeling better. I did get some drops and that helped me through the immediacy of it. Plus I started taking cod liver oil again, I'd slacked off for a bit, and noticed an almost instant difference in how my eyes felt. That stuff is great for dry skin and winter blues. I'm a believer!
Beta-Carotene is good too. Cod liver oil? I shall have to try that.
I remember my mom making us take cod liver oil during the winter months. Quite traumatic!
Ruthie Bean! - I haven't tried Beta-Carotene. I don't even know what that is! It sounds vitaminy.
Rachel - I remember it being traumatic, too. The stuff I have is flavoured lightly and if I gulp it back and try to miss my tongue it's very tolerable. :)
Ruthie - Mark said it was a carrot. Oh.
cod liver oil? Interesting. You can learn so much in blogland!!
Doesn't it bring on a b.m. prior to labour (so I've heard!) so I find it odd that it can also help with winter blues!!
No Kor! You're thinking Castor Oil!
Ha ha ha! Well I have been running to the can alot. That explains EVERYTHING.
(Kidding.)
Beware - Castor Oil can actually bring ON labour--this can be good or bad, depending on when you take it! (I originally wrote "do it", but then changed it--but come to think of it, that can bring on labour, too. Uh, so I've heard.)
Ah yes. The old wink nudge. ;|
any questions?
