totally random bits and pieces...
Paul's elbow surgery went well, is healing well, and he already has more feeling in his hand and fingers than he has had at any point in the last six months. Well worth it!
One armed showers SUCK.
A wad of saran wrap and tape, unwrapped from his arm and rolled up to throw away, looks surprisingly phallic. O.o
In the DUH alerts - it's Too Damned Hot. I don't mind triple digit daytimes so much if we have a thirty degree cooling trend at night, but twenty degree or less gets to me and keeps the AC really working (even though it's set at 80-82).
It's weird going from fighting molds to fighting dust. Not an unwelcome change, but it is a change, and it's weird to have mold around a window frame be *weird*. Chalk it up to heat and extremely high dew point, I guess?
Saw a WSU Cougars plate holder the other day, and was amused that I was startled by it. OU is drawing in a TON of out of state students this year, though, so we'll probably be seeing plates from all over. Should be fun IDing them all. =)
Eye drops... I've been fighting tired, gritty, dry, sometimes achy feeling eyes for years and never really found anything that worked for more than half the symptoms. Any eye drops will help with dryness, but they'd only get maybe one other thing... So out of desperation the other day I picked up some Rohto Eye Strain cooling eye drops. O.o Menthol in eye drops? REALLY? Ooooookay... DAMN that stuff is nice! Definitely want to make sure you have a minute to just lay your head back and let the drops roll around your eyes, or they'll be spazzing out and totally defocused. Let it do its thing for seriously thirty seconds to a minute and wow. I'd forgotten what it felt like to NOT feel my eyes irritating me constantly. I'll still keep a bottle of basic eye flush around for when I just need to rinse something out, but this stuff is really really good. Who knew? =)
