I learned today that I am nearsighted
and I need glasses. :o

My right eye is 20/30 and left eye is..... 20/200! :wtf: x( I ordered me some glasses, they won't be ready until next week though.


So... That's my news for the day. Well, that, and I have a stupid cold, but I already whined about that earlier. :P

2. Teeeheee
It's just weird, because it has only been recently that they've been bothering me (things far away are fuzzy, and driving at night sucks ass) I've always had good eyesight up until now. Well, I guess I do have good eyesight... if it's close up! :silly:

26. I didn't say I was wise, just the Decisioner.
Which is a mere step above "the Decider."
Okay, maybe a few steps...

I've been up since 5, spent most of my day driving highways, spent several hours with Mom and Dad, both in and out of the hospital, went grocery shopping, cooked a big dinner for us and our wedding officiant, worked out wedding plans....I'm beat!

But, I will sleep well :D

31. Yeah, me too...
:hug:

Now, to fight the infection. Once we get through that, Jeebus willing, we can get rid of the stones that are causing all the problems. And I'd really like to sue the VA right now, as they've known about the stones forever, and he kept getting infections, and they just kept prescribing antibiotics. Hence the MRSA. :mad:

12. You're in good shape then; you'll be able to read without glasses.
As I am able to, being in a similar configuration.
