I awoke today seeing out of only one eye due to swelling from what I believe was a wasp sting below my eye yesterday. I read I could be like this for 3-4 days. It was raining most of the day anyway, so I decided to stay inside and watch some of my videos on my computer. I tried going to a pharmacy to see if they would give anything to help. It was kind of tough to find with only one eye. They didn’t speak any English and it seemed like they were saying no and get out when they saw my face. Later with the help of someone working at the Hostel, we went to another pharmacy and I got some aspirin and I also took some Tylenol. Probably won’t make much difference since I think only time is needed. Also found an eye patch that I might try. It isn’t ideal sightseeing in this condition, unfortunately.
I found out my bank, NetBank, went out of business and closed down today, partially due to mortgage defaults. My money was insured by the FDIC, so it hasn’t disappeared and my account is transferred over to a new (also virtual) bank called ING Direct. We’ll see how it works out. I think it will change how I can deposit money since they require you to get money from another bank account. However, it appears their interest rates are better.
