08 Feb 4704 - Crying Acid

Maybe I should look into the medical phenomenon a little, but right now I'm not looking at much. A few nights ago I noticed my eyes burning and I tried to clear them out a little and the tears that came only made the burning worse. I could feel the sting well enough in my eyes to be unable to open them fully, and then even on my face a little. Of course my body reacted by crying more...
A short experimental inquiry led me to discover the phenomenon remains with me for now. As for the why, I have my suspicions:

First is for me to look to those around me when I have an unexplained medical problem. My empathy can often bring this about, but guess what? I'm pretty sure that no one around me is crying tears of acid in a literal sense. Next I move on to the metaphorical sense. Half of empathy is a mirror of what is, the body of your body. The other half is a mirror of how it is, the body of your spirit. That would be some pretty heavy shit to make me cry acid, so I'm moving on to other explanations for now.

Second: something got in my eye. I don't remember dropping any HCl in there, but who knows? I can be pretty forgetful at times. Could be I slept with my eyes open sometime in the afternoon and they just decided to dry out on a time delay. Maybe I just fiddled with them too much. Science surely has a boring answer to this. Now how about an answer to what I should do about tears that burn so much they make my eyes water...

Third: I'm evolving into some kind of human-alien hybrid through computer use and diet. I knew there was another ingredient in that taco seasoning. Nutrition could have a role in this, but again, it would be pretty freaking random for this to come on now, as my diet hasn't changed much from months ago when I was notably not spilling caustic rain from my tear ducts.

See you all at 6, even if blurrily.
