Ever since yesterday morning my left eyelid has been doing some weird twitchy thing intermittently. It's starting to get annoying ( Read more... )

Neato. I can't say for sure, but we may have an even larger group next year if we decide to do this again. I think you and Erin should definitely join us next time. :)

I'm glad the snow trip was fun! I'd love to see pics. As for the eye twitch- I hear ya, I used to get them all the time. It feels way worse than it looks. I always thought people could see my eye throbbing, turns out not so much. ;)

Yeah, I was just discussing work issues with this guy in my office and my eyelid started being a total spaz again. I wasn't sure if he noticed or not but it sure distracted me for a moment. :P

Turtle took a lot of good photos in Tahoe but I don't know how easily she can post or what kind of connection she has at home. We'll just have to wait and see.

Cucumbers.
You know in movies when chicks are at the spa and they have cucumber slices on them eyes. Go and buy a cucumber put a couple slices on your eyes, lay back and just relax for about 15-20 minutes. It will help. You have eye strain. The cooling cucumber will help. It won't take it all away but you'll feel a little less bugged.
Also take more breaks at work. You been staring at the computer screens to much mister.
I'm glad you had fun on your skiing trip. :)

Really, I just need direct neural inputs and I can cut out this eye strain altogether. :)

Hah! I like that theory.

Yeah, I often get weird twitchies in my leg or arm but they rarely last more than a couple minutes and I generally find them amusing. The novelty, in this case, is wearing a little thin. ;)

When that happens to me, its allergies. I asked my optometrist about it and he confirmed it. And pollen has been real high in the last few days.

Interesting. I did sneeze quite a bit on my way back from Tahoe, and I remember suffering some pretty major allergies around this time last year. So far the symptoms have been tame in comparison, but perhaps I should be on the lookout. I had almost forgotten, thanks.
