The Egg Carton

Three months. I've spent three months freaking out over getting a new pair of glasses. It's a multi-part story with action, conflict, and plot twists! True friends were made and enemies were revealed! I cried! Okay, I may be hyping this up more than how it actually was, but things actually felt this intense. Like, my sight was messed up for weeks. Imagine losing your sight when you've been seeing your whole life! I need my eyes to work -- to write this blog. I'm writing this wonky story with a humorous twist to make myself feel better about it. Anyways, without further ado, I will try to summarize this high-stakes action into four parts. Part 1 - Innocent Eye Check-up It all started with an eye appointment on January 22, 2022... I thought it was just going to be a harmless little check-up where I could trust the doctor's judgment. I'm not going to state where this eye exam was because I don't want to get canceled. Anyways, after a rather stressful examinatio...

 Ah yes, April Fools. The first day of April where everyone pulls pranks and shouts "April Fools" at the top of their lungs afterward. You may be wondering how this holiday came into effect, or you may already know. I myself began wondering how it was started after a friend asked me if I knew.  Off the top of my head, I assumed that the holiday must have been started with something silly.

It also feels like April Fools isn't a real holiday to me. It's like one of those random things that some people remember to do and some people don't. Unlike with Christmas. Everybody remembers Christmas, some people just don't choose to celebrate it. Anyways, I'm getting sort of off-track, onward with the facts! Gottem Yes you can bully my art skills You ...

Near the beginning of the month, I walked into a CVS and they already had out all the chocolates and candies and whatever else they want you to waste your money on. Like, come on now.  This year, I must admit, I was excited for Valentine's. I had put away my "haha, I'm forever alone" catchphrase and was ready to show some love. However, my efforts did not provide the results I was expecting... But it's a rather complicated and private story that I would prefer to not share. Just know that my "haha, I'm forever alone" jokes are back. While sobbing over my failed romantic endeavors, I've got to wondering what the heck Valentine's Day is even about. Like how did it get started? Why does it have to cause me so much anguish? Unfortunately, Google can't really help with the latter, but I was able to get some answers for the former. So, without further ado,...
