So I'm scheduled for a revision on the eye surgery I had last fall. A metal surgical staple was left behind, and this was just recently discovered when I flipped out during an unsuccessful MRI. It felt like my eye was going to boil out of my skull, which was horrible. So I'm not exactly pleased about this; metal in the eye socket is an absolute contraindication against MRIs, and the team who originally did my eye surgery was - or should have been - aware that I have scans on the regular.

Between that, and needing to travel out of town on short notice to help my sister get ready for a job interview (she's physically disabled), things have been kind of stressful around here. At least my little brother was in the area to take me to my eye appointment. He also brought me along to hang out with one of his former classmates, which was nice of him and plenty fun.

Right now, though, my partner is hosting a couple of his international colleagues in our house. This is great, but also kind of stressful, since I wasn't able to get everything fixed up before their visit as much as I'd hoped. The night before they arrived, my partner surprised me with tickets to a regional theater production for our wedding anniversary. I enjoyed the play and don't want to seem ungracious, but I really could've used more help getting ready for houseguests.

Things have been worse, but I still wish they were better. I just feel like I should be making more progress, but I'm being plagued by all these little setbacks and inconveniences and it gets old in a hurry. And then I feel petty for complaining at all - but I'm just so tired and feel so lost all the time.
