Conversation with my eye doctor.

Doctor: I mentioned this when you were here last year. Your eye is most likely twitching because you are stressed out. Do you feel stressed out?
Me: Well...I was sitting in a meeting the other day and my boss was listing out a whole bunch of things I needed to work on this week and my eye went crazy. So yes, I think I might be stressed out.
Doctor: OK then.
Me: I also live in a noisy apartment building and I don't sleep very well. I have called the on-site police officer twice in the last month because of loud music at 3am.
Doctor: Oh, that's unfortunate.
Me: Yes. I am hoping to move soon.
Doctor: In the meantime, I think you should go buy one of those gel eye masks that you put in the fridge. Relax for about 10 minutes every night with that on. I will also give you some drops on your way out. I also think you should see a general practitioner for an overall physical. And hopefully, work will calm down and you will find a quieter apartment soon.
