Driving Miss Terri

Mar 18, 2012 21:34

While attempting to navigate my way through Race Weekend Traffic, and feeling much like the poor amphibian in "Frogger," I came to the realization that I do NOT need to be driving until my cataract surgery is completed.  So, now I'm starring in my own Southern sitcom:  Driving Miss Terri.  It sucks to be dependent on other people to drive me, esp when I live out in the back and beyond of the middle of nowhere.  I have recently set my computer's page to 125% and I'm still leaning forward in my chair to see.  That's just sad.  I can't wait for this surgery to be over so I can see again.  I was dreading it, but since I have the kind of cataract that grows quickly, I'm more than ready to get this party started.

Spring has come to East TN.  Trees are budding, and the high will be near 80 most of this week.  I don't even mind the sound of the rain now that it is falling on a tin roof.  :D  I enjoy March and April, and then I have to deal with Summer.  I think I have Seasonal Affect Disorder in reverse:  I love Fall and Winter and I soldier through Summer.  I hate hot and humid.  It's sucks the life right out of me,and if you throw a few hot flashes in, the resemblance to hell is striking.  It's all good...it's only 7 months until October.  :)

Chelsea is dealing with another OCD cycle, which is making sleep difficult for her (and me).  The thoughts are violent and very disturbing to her.  We are using the coping skills that the therapist has taught us, and they work eventually, but the process is exhausting.  I think I would almost rather she washed her hands constantly or counted things.  The disturbing thoughts are very difficult to deal with.

Ok, off to crack open a bottle of Diet Pepsi and watch some telly with Chelsea.  Then's it's beddy-bye time with a little help from Advil P.M.

eyes, weather, chelsea, health
