pennywhistle has been doing a year-end summary for a while, and I really like it, so I copied hers & completed it. And then I got too sick to care about anything that wasn't feeling miserable or Violet. But now I'm feeling well enough that I'd like to include it. It's mostly true, I think you'll figure out what's been updated ( Read more... )

I'm tired (more because it's late, not because of anything I did today), but I briefly want to touch on something:

I have a lot going on right now. I'm not bragging, I'm not complaining. I'm simply stating that almost every aspect of my life has been building up to this period of time, and it's finally coming to a head. The job thing is a huge ( Read more... )

One of my favorite aspects of my relationship with Tony, one that other people have commented on as well, is our ability to have random, interesting, content-full conversations anywhere, any time. We always have something to talk about, which leads to other things, and reminds one of us of a story from somewhere else, etc. This is one of those ( Read more... )

(I'm typing this with my eyes closed again and can barely stand to look long enough to make sure I'm in the right field, so pardon the typos & general lack of proofreading for coherence ( Read more... )

So yesterday, in case you didn't see int on Facebook, Twitter, I think I mentioned it here, or otherwise had no contact with me at all in the past 2 months, I had my eye surgery. Technically it's called a bliateral lateral resection. And I guess I should warn that I'm typing with no glasses and not looking very often -- touch type FTW! (we'll see ( Read more... )

I'm so behind on LJ-ing, and I actually feel terrible about it because almost every day I come home with something worth remembering, like working with a patient who believes he's the Crown Prince of Senegal and was brain poisoned by George Bush, or the fairly regular patients I worked with completely independently. Plus I had some milestone runs ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had an appointment with an ophthalmologist about the potential of eye surgery to correct my alternating esotropia. I was born severely cross-eyed, like only you could see half of my pupils because the other halves were buried behind my nose severe, and had undergone 2 corrective surgeries when I 10 months and 3 years old. I don't have ( Read more... )

here's the extended version (aka e-mail adapted from an IM convo), in case you saw the punchline on Facebook ( Read more... )

I've been kind of debating about whether to start a Twitter account. (yeah, don't you want my worries in life?) mostly because I have a lot of random silly little thoughts that amuse me and I'd want to share, but I wouldn't want to spam Facebook every time I giggle at my own thoughts. Especially because then I'd get nothing else done :P So instead ( Read more... )

In case you didn't already see on Facebook, while I was running this afternoon I discovered that a sock was static-clinging to my butt. The shorts I wore today have the built-in undies, and it must've stuck onto that in the dryer. I sure wish I could've seen the faces of the women walking behind me when I reached through my shorts-leg and pulled ( Read more... )
