The allergy proved to be both allergy and sinus infection. This is bad news for my general health; I hope the dentist takes it seriously. It's good news for the eyes though, as a couple days of antibiotics and now the leaves at the tops of trees have nice clear lines to them. Not tonight though--between infection and election I didn't even care to try to focus.

Antibiotics until it upset my digestion, for a total of eight days which killed it good. Eyes are behaving nicely, but I've got "whistle breath" ie whenever I exhale all the way something below my throat produces a whistling sound. Coughed up a very tiny bit of phlegm that looked suspiciously yellow, back of my throat is a little bit raw, sinus area a little bit cranky.

There has been, all along, a foul taste in a molar on the other side of my mouth. This may be unrelated, but I worry that I am continually swallowing something pathogenic.

Ankle is a bit tender from admittedly abusing it all day last Saturday, but I must get back on the bicycle tomorrow. Exercise, I think, is the key to getting my immune system to kick whatever this is out.

Eyes are fine though, and I'm down to two drop doses a day from three. A minor adjustment period on that. I still think I'm nearsighted so I'll be careful tomorrow, even though the eye doctor called my left one a 20/22, slightly farsighted. He was annoyed, but I couldn't be more pleased.
