On a serious note, though, I saw a story where a brand of eye drops is causing adverse reactions, including blindness. https://www.foxnews.com/health/cdc-says-eye-drop-brand-may-be-connected- drug-resistant-bacterial-infections (above URL all on one line). The bacterium with the "preservative-free EzriCare Artificial Tears" is apparently resistant to most antibiotics. I use Systane at least once a day, if not more...than it's a few minutes after I put them in before the burning quits, and the vision stabilizes. If it's too bad, it's time to pause with the computer work (if possible), and go lie down (I think I just jinxed myself) . If that wasn't bad enough, it's too dangerous to drive ever again. My area is still under an Ice Storm Warning through at least midday Thursday. Thank The Lord, so far, I still have power and internet... so, as long as I have that, I'm good. I'm working on the LAST of my food supply (chicken nuggets), and I should have enough to last me through Thursday...then, with my new disability payment on Friday, I can order more food.

We have a final round of freezing rain tonight and Thursday, before it turns to rain, and finally ends. Then, by next Tuesday, thunderstorms are in the forecast (too early to know if severe storms will be an issue, but our spring tornado season is coming up fast). So, I may end up fasting for a day or two...at least I can take my blood pressure medication without food. If power does go out, the BBS is down, but I can take my blood pressure medication, "drain the radiator" , and go back to sleep. I think the groundhog is drunk...although I saw an Editorial Cartoon this morning, showing Gobbler's Knob in Punxatawney, Pennsylvania... with Punxatawney Phil (the groundhog) being held up by his handlers)... and one of them says "There's more classified documents here" (in a reference to all the documents found at President Joe Biden's homes.
