While walking the dog yesterday, I had a tree branch hit me in the face. Almost impossibly, it missed my glasses and hit me in my eyeball. My eye has been irritated since.
As if my vision wasn’t bad enough right now, let’s add in extra dumb injuries.

There appears to be a sickness going through my team right now. Could not be more grateful to be forced to be work from home with all my woes.
That said, holy cats sickness coupled with planned time off is causing a chaotic mess. I hate not being available to pitch in.
