Status update of a sort, I suppose? Mostly just an excuse for a list.

1. For those of you keeping tabs on my medical drama: the latest eye consults went very, very well. This was at an actual eye hospital, with what felt like nine hundred and seven doctors all with different specialties. They were essentially a second (etc., etc.) opinion on the whole mess, and they basically said that the last laser surgery I had (the one that one doctor said worked and another said didn't) was pretty successful, and they said if I keep with the drops I shouldn't have to have any more surgery, and even better, the headaches will stop. \o/

2. It was 101 here today with a heat index of 121. Too. Fricking. Hot.

3. I'm in Toronto! Well, no, not yet. But I will be soon, and I'm going to see
emeraldsnakes and
skieswideopen and cantarina1, and also some tourist attractions, and I'm excited! I'll probably be sporadic if I'm around at all (nights, but that's me), and hopefully I get some things done whie I'm there, too (I'm looking at you, auction fics).

Seriously. If I don't post an auction fi soon, SHAME ME INTO DOING IT.

4. Thanks to everyone who gave me kisses and picnic baskets and chocolate userheads; I look at them and they make me smile all the time. I'm just terrible at remembering to thank you guys for them. THANK YOU.

5. I should be sleeping. It's 0414, I have to be up at 0615... fail.

6. Other health news: my bloodwork came back weird. They're going to redo it before getting concerned, which I'm grateful for, but... seriously? Sometimes it feels like this shit never ends.

7. G got a new car! If I could find a camera, I'd totally show you what it looks like! Instead, use Google your imagination: it's a 2010 Nissan Sentra in what I'm told is "Deep Bronze" but looks like black with flecks of gold to me. Whatever, I'm half colorblind, don't mind me.

8. I love country music. I'm not sure if this is something anyone wanted to know about me, but I love country music with a passion that I love very few other things. It's a little ridiculous. I love how the singers aren't afraid to address a lot of stuff that I feel like more popular music won't touch, I love how it sometimes just punches you in the gut, I love steel guitars and banjos and fiddles. I know the words to all of the Garth Brooks songs (yes, hand to my heart, all of them) and Alabama and Brad Paisley and the Oak Ridge Boys and Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn and... yeah. (Also, I have no idea why that needed to be on this list, but it for sure did.)

9. I'm at that point where I'm like 'well, blind means I don't have to drive, so do I just stay up these last couple of hours and crash in the car, or should I try to sleep?' Answer: ...still undecided.

10. I ♥ ALL OF YOU.

i don't even know what to tag this, admin, rl, list
