eyes on fire

Eyes, on fire
Held in a ball of thorns
Tears, a river
Flowing thick they adorn

Vision obscured, Sleep disturbed. When will the red pain leave me be.

And the answer is in 9 days! Today will be day 9 of my bilateral conjunctivitis. I started on a course of chloramphenicol, then tetracycline ointment, then amoxycillin b.p. tablets, then more chloramphenicol eye drops. What was truly the thing at work was in fact my very own immune system trying its best to churn out suitable antibodies that could eradicate the sinister virus lurking at my conjunctiva and other small secret places. Many a time had I woke to a world much blurred as my eyes were encrusted in a sticky, scratchy pus like goo that sealed my eyelids shut.

And I know many friends have not been exactly happy with my much extended Medical Leave. My partner in work, Ky jelly had to fly solo for quite a few days in my absence. It is definitely no fun, flying in work-filled skies that were dark and gloomy. But I will be back on the working track on Monday and he will be off to his leave and huney bunny<3.

And my future is still in the making, with me throwing in a few hundred bucks for stacks of paper that can be crafted into airplanes that I will sit on and fly away to yonder. Yonder may not be what I think it'd be though

A beginning


And so, I've decided to start a new blog. And as with all new beginnings, I will provide a prologue. A new boy came to the world, happy as he was, and then he was introduced to the little imperfections that culminated in him being quite unhappy. Soon, surfeit as it was these imperfections cast a shadow so dark he stumbled and fell into a deep abyssmal hole called pessimism. He was sad, cold and lonely and all he had was moonshine cast upon his face as the fisherman who sat by the crescent moon tried to fish him out of his plight. The tired boy slept and dreamt of many happy thoughts where the world was less imperfect. Sweet dreams they were, and they lasted till sunbeams found him. Once again, he was able to climb out of that hole and gladly continue on his path. Wherever the road goes, his steps will follow the journey into the horizon.

Ok so here I am at my new blog address. I was trying so hard to think of a blog name.
A few choices I had narrowed down to, each of which sounded crappier than the last.
1. mindoodle.blogspot.com
2. thinkboxx.blogspot.com
3. notsopicasso.blogspot.com


But then, thinking of my old blog, thomaschia.blogspot.com, wondering why I had left it to write someplace else. My nostalgic feelings came forth and my name was scrambled to many things. My blog address currently had a nice ring to it and hence it was born. I hope this brainchild will prosper and not be just another sad mortality statistic in the blogosphere that is today.

And till sunbeams find you again
Good sweet night
