And we have achieved VISION

I'm a girl with working eyes! Surgery went very well indeed and right now I keep looking around and Seeing things. It's like getting new glasses only without having to wear something on my face all the time.

Downsides- my left eye apparently has a dry spot in it. I feel this as it just being slightly sticker and slower to refocus than my right. Eye drops should take care of this but I do have to go back to my optometrist before Christmas.

I'm also have to wear these insane goggles at night, can't touch or rub my eyes for the next week AND have to keep my corneas away from water. That combined with the constant anti-biotic eyedrops leads to scary crusty eyelash clumps. I feel a bit gross.

Heather was truly awesome all weekend. I really do like her. And then I put my foot in it. AGAIN. I just don't know how to say 'I love you, I've really enjoyed your company for this weekend, but I really need to be alone now' in a way that doesn't hurt her or make her feel like a stalker. Because I've tried the above sentence and It Doesn't Work. But I still get to the twitchy boundary and know that if I try ignore my limit I'll end up hurting her worse. I need some sort of signal that I can flash in advance of the danger zone. I'm not trying to put it all on her, I realise that it must be hard to date someone who is smittensmittensmittenRIGHTyouhavetoleavesoon.

I suspect that the times of smittensmittensmitten could make a person think that this could be an ongoing state, not realising that it's the absence in between that gives me the emotional energy to like someone and appreciate their company.

I think I'm not a good girlfriend by any standards. I have difficulty coping with 3 days of being with someone. And yet my family wonder why I doubt I can ever get married or breed. I don't have the attention span.

new eyes, dating is hard
