Wow what a blast I had for New Year's! It was more so an extended holiday for me, so basically a vacation :) We had a lot of family over for a week at my parents' house, some from Tucson, Arizona, and others from Mexico, including my grandmother who I hadn't seen for about a couple of years.
Willie and I went to my parents' on the 31th and spent the night there. We celebrated the night by having a few drinks, eating some good food, and a playing a few games. We even danced and also lit fireworks.
The next day, Willie mentioned he was getting ready to go home ( I was going to stay for a couple more days to spend time with the family since I rarely get to see them.) Shortly after that however, something weird started to happen. My eye became itchy, which wasn't uncommon. I rubbed it a little, but then it still kept itching. Suddenly it started to really burn. I looked in the mirror and it was extremely red. I had never seen so many little veins on an eyeball before, it was kind of creepy! So then I stopped rubbing it, and put some eye drops in. A few minutes later though, the whites of my eyes started to swell, which is something I had never seen before. Then, they started becoming blisters! It was the nastiest and scariest thing, and then I started freaking out!
No one had any idea what was wrong with my eye. We were worried it could be something serious, so we decided I should go to the doctor's. So, Willie didn't get to go home quite then! Willie, my mom, my sister, and myself all drove to Panguitch were the nearest clinic and hospital were, about half an hour away. When we got there though, we were notified no clinics were open that day. Well that meant I had to go to the E.R. which was just on the other side of the hospital. And it was something I definitely did not want to do! Not only did I think it was unnecessary, but I knew the bill would be high since I don't have health insurance.
But, my mom insisted I get my eye checked out, then I realized maybe it could be something really bad. So we went in, and it turns out it was a really bad allergy to something. I still don't know exactly what it was. But two things I know for sure: I hope I don't come in contact with whatever it was again, and I'm glad it was just something we can laugh about now! And that was my New Year's Day trip to the E.R. haha!
I then stayed there until Friday night. It was crowded, but it was super fun and I loved it. I did miss my honey though. When I got back home I got back to a surprise. He cleaned out the laundry room, even the horrible messy cabinets. We then went out on a date the next day, and rented a few movies and bought some wine, and well, the rest was history haha! We did manage to get our New Year's kiss on camera though, amongst all the craziness ;)
