And the week goes on

For a couple days one of my eyes were bothering so come wensday I call up the doctor and make an appointment. Kinda annoying because I had wanted to get my oil changed and get my state inspection done, but with trying to find the new office location for the doctor I didn't think I'ld have time. Turns out not 5 minutes from the doctor was a handy dandy jiffy lube. So since I was waaaaayyyy early for my appointment I turned around and got the car dealt with. ^_^

Saw the doctor, there was nothing actually in my eye, just some sort of bacterial infection. Probably caused by rubbing my eyes when they got irritated from allergies. Got some drops andI'm waiting for it to go away

Also got a bunch of origami folding paper from hobby lobby. Apparently keeping my hands busy with something pretty repetetive to the point it becomes almost mindless helps keeps me calm at work. So far I have A LOT of little brightly colored paper cranes sitting on my desk. Still have a few whack jobs though. Like the lady who insisted I absolutely HAD to verify her name AND ssn when all she wanted was generaly information we give to anyone who calls and asks whether they have an account with the bank or not. Oohh-kaaayyy

How close are you to one thousand cranes? Doesn't something good happen when you're done doing that many? It does sound like something neat to do with anxious hands--is it hard to learn?

I'm nowhere close to 1000 cranes, but once I'm past my morning crankiness folding papers seems to do a lot to keep me calm. Some of the stuff wasn't hard to learn, but it did take a while to get the crane right. Good places I have found for instrustions Folding Paper (http://www.foldingpaper.com) and Origami Musuem (http://www.origamimuseum.com)
