The owie on my eye yesterday turned out to be a bona fide corneal abrasion. I made an appointment with the eye doc when it still hurt two hours after banging it into a rose bush. She put in antibiotic drops and a magical "bandage contact" that made it stop hurting right away. I have to go back in tomorrow, so she can take the bandage lens out.

Today, I went to Santa Barbara with a friend, and spent both too much time and too much money shopping. Good lunch at Palace Cafe, though. As far as I know, that's the best Cajun/Creole restaurant west of the Rockies-- or more than ten miles west of the Mississippi, for that matter.
