Ramblings of the mistress of the flame

at the doctors office that I had a sample of blood and protein in my sample I gave last week.  Not sure yet what else is going on yet.  I go for a follow up next Wed. and probably a specialist after that.  I will keep folks posted.  Oh yeah and my dishwasher is on the fritz now too.  So not happy about that. At least stuff is broken when I can afford it.

That's the best I can figure.  While I don't feel like I've been punched in the face when I missed work and got diagnosed with sclaritis the redness hasn't completely gone away.  I went to the physican last weekend like the eye doctor told me to and got a general check up (not a physical tough).  Blood work done, pee cup, X-rays, the whole 9 yards.  Still waiting for the results.  No calls yet.  No calls I guess is a good thing.  The office visit did yeild the discussion of auto immune disorders and the fact I could have one (hence all the damn tests).  That idea is fairly frightening, though not necessarily life threatening.  I'm hoping that none of it is true because one of them has the possiblity of still rendering me completely blind.  I'm none to keen on that.  Others could result in chemo, even less keen on that.  So I just want to get the results and figure out what, if anything, I have so I can move in some general general direction other than being bothered 24 hours a day.

Online, guild has not offered me a respite, I'm about to punch Koro in the face for his recent antics in a 5 man run the other day and his prior antics involving his raid attendence and lack there of when he said is going to be there.  The raid is likely dead, my efforts to resurrect it outside of the guild with help are not looking very promissing either.   Guild chat has been something I've tuned out on most nights recently because the teens and 20 somethings have been so retarded and stupid that surpasses even my toilet humor (or gutter humor sometimes).    It's gottten so bad that last night I was shooting back tells with other folks in guild in PT talking about how bad chat was just so they could deal with it.

It has arrived to the point where I feel the guild is more like a confederation for me then it is an actual guild and friends atm.  I don't know exactly what I'm going to do yet, but I'm exploring options.  It shows no signs of improving anytime soon.  The only thing I do see happening real soon is my urge tell Koro to stop being a dick and tell Rob the next time in a group with me to stop rolling need on off spec shit when other people that are playing that spec a need it too or boot his ass from the group.  Reality check to all you melee DPS.  Don't bitch about other's DPS in comparison to your own when you keep face planting.  We aren't face planting either becasause A) we aren't pulling aggro, B) we have shit gear (which most of us don't), or C) we know if we blow our wad right then and there we won't have it when we really need it.  Survival is just as much a part of the game as anything else so stop doing shit that's going to flat out cause you to die.

So the sham of a 'holiday' is over.  After lunch discussiong and discussing why Viking day would still be far better since they discovered the new world, we came up with a new idea for a holiday.  After all Columbus and the Vikings were all about pillaging and looting in one fashion or another.  Why not take it a step forward and have a Darwin's Day.  Nothing says pillaging and looting like a good game of survival thrown in.  Rules of law suspended for one day.  Insurance, not binding for one day.  Everyone do anything you want, the goal, survival.   Pissed off you neighbor's dog shit on your lawn, blow up his dog house.  Military peeps are however limited to using weaponry with a firepower or damaging capacity no greater than 120 mm shells (we can only have so much collateral damage to clean up after the day is done).  I'm sure some right wing religious folks will have an issue with this since it's not in god's grand designs, to which my rebuttle is 'what does god need with a starship'?    In any event if you think my idea is a good one, please start petitioning your congressmen and senator now as election day is around the corner.  Keep in mind, no one is exempt!!!! What better way then to get back at your political oppenent then Darwin Day!!!!!!*






*If you think I'm serious about this idea then you should have your own head checked.  However I hope you got a good chuckle out of it.

Seriously, wtf.  2nd time in my life, first was also within the last year, wtf I say.  Not that work is all that glam.  Actually it sucks badly right now. Seriously PINK EYE, FUCKING EH!

If I have to explain the title then, well, you aren't old enough :P

Anyhow, this week was a major burn with work.  Things didn't get any better after sunday.  They just got worse.  We had 40 people on hold most of the day until I left from the time I got there (this is a 12 hour day for me after all).  That scene played out the next day as well with half of that amount of people.  Wed. wasn't as bad because I ducked and covered after 2 pm but we still had 15-20 people on hold.  After 2 pm though I ducked off the phone to do OT and get caught up on my work.  Took me about 2.5 hours.  Maddening since if if we had the people I'd not had half of it in the first place.  Next week should be just as bad, possibly worse though since it's the weekend before a holiday.  I missed out on doing anything for Wyn's B-day until after the fact.  So I sent her the day after.  Hopefully she got it or she sees this HAPPY BIRTHDAY right here :P

After work on Monday I ended up talking with my friend at length about her issues.  I apologized for the kinda canned spam answer I gave when we were all busy on Sunday.  In any event it was a rather productive conversation for her I believe.  To cut down to lowest denominator, she lovers her estranged husband, even if he is a real idiot.  She knows it and despite all the shit he continues to put here through if reconcilation happened tomorow she'd be happy.  Conversely she isn't naive either and knows that is fairly unrealistic.

As it is her husband calls her once or twice a month while he's seeing this other girl.  Invariably he ends up talking to her and crying to her and then get her to crying and then when she tries to get him to get him to talk about things from there he just shuts down on her.  Right now his brother and father in jail.  They got caught recently for raising a large amount of pot plants in their house.  He was lucky enough not to have been at the house recently so when they did the raid he wasn't busted (he doesn't have an outstanding warrent on him that either of us know about either).  Long story short she hasn't reached the point where enough is enough to finally file for divorce.

I'm not one anymore to voice my opinion and then force it on someone that they should be doing something else then what they are doing currently.  But I did tell her it might be wise to consider filing sooner rather than later.  Otherwise if he doesn't get his shit in order he could bring trouble her way.  He's already done enough damage to her credit and she has to fight with the IRS over her returns because of what's he done with joint accounts.  All it could take is one bad situation he get himself into and she runs into him at a bad time and everything she has built back up finanically and personally in the last two years is over.   She grudgingly aggreed and only time will tell now.

It could have been worse but we did have a modest amount of coverage today.  We have about 15-16 people on a normal saturday that do my job and when I got to work today the expectation is there would be 4-5 tops.  We managed to have double that amount.  So while it didn't suck so bad that I wanted to go booze up at lunch it was fairly busy today and brisk.  It's going to be that way for a few weeks at we have 10 people from my shift in training.  So I'm going to do my best to stay cool and not go spastasic (I want to though).

What's worse today is I show up today to work and my sinus were bothering me.  I took a tissue from my co-workers desk to have a nice blow, almost sticking my hand in front of hers on the way to the box.  I apologized got my tissue and moved on.  She didn't seem to be feeling well, she was all bundled up and sniffly.  About 10 minutes later (possibly less, definatly not more) the sniffling is from crying not the allergies I suffered and she's holding back from balling.  Turns out her estranged husband called her over the week(end) and that's when she finally found out that he has finnally moved on and started seeing other women.   She's never given up, even though she really wants to beat him over the head with blunt stick, that someday they might get back together (despite any actions she's made to the contrary because she has seen/dated other folks).  I couldn't talk much because we were farily busy from the get go.  Me and another women did our best to console her.  Best I could get out is 'I understand how you feel, I've been there before....you need to start looking out at this point for you best interests....I'm sorry'.  So yeah I managed mostly canned ham stuff, felt stunningly ackward the rest of the day and more immediately dejected.   Not quite to the point of my inital seperation several years ago but headed that dejected direction.   She ended up heading home which was for the best for her.  I felt like a giant dick though I meant well.  I texted her later in the day, didn't get anything back, I doubt that she is mad but I succeeded more at looking like and ass and making myself feel bad me thinks than helping at all.

So we just got back from watching Inglourious Basterds and all I can say is the movie rules. The roommate has decreed already he has to see it a second time.  Ending was a bit more than I expected.  I won't say why, it's pretty obvious once you hit the end of the movie though.  It is a Quentin Tarantino flick though so plenty of blood and violence.   Dialogue is pretty substantial though.  We are debating whether it is better than Pulp Fiction among ourselves.  I personally think so.   I think it's actually the best thing he has done (certainly the best thing since he did Pulp Fiction). can't wait to pick it up when it comes on DVD (you know in 2 or 3 months).

For all those interested, 3 months follow up from my optical operation (otherwise known as numb and cut).   I am pleased to announce that with new glasses i will see 20/25 again.  Considering I could barely manage 20/60 (and that's probably not even close to how bad it was), it's a pretty major turn around.  There is no telling how long it last, but the prognosis continues to be good.  I read my frist book cover to cover for the first time in months.  Ok it was a game book, but still, a book is a book and to do it without a magnifier was a nice change of pace. 
I'll go get a new set of either tomorrow or Thursday.  Not sure which yet. 

For those that didn't get a text from me (and rest assured you didn't get one because I had to many damn messages in my phone to clear out if you didn't, go cheap phone) I am please to announce the doctor ok'd the transplant for my other eye.  It surprising less evasive to transplant a cornea then it is to intentionally damage an eye and let it heal (who knew).  i've tog some stuff to juggle around so I'm not sure if i'm going to do it this year or next.  This time around though I'll have one working eye ball though so i won't be completely blind.   Full recovery will take possibly up to 18 months.  So this brings me to the next point....vacation.

I've got 2 weeks of it and a litle cash to burn.  So who wants me to come visit their town and scare your neighborhood kids away.  IR not available for holloween.  Blending in my natural apperance and the fact that is a personal day keep me indoors, mostly away from people, and possibly intoxicated.  Other than that and a birthday for my dad (he's 60 this year) ideas can be floated around.

and not missing the game much.  Missing the people on other hand.  Though by and large I've hit most people up with text at least once this week who aren't local.  A couple people I haven't gotten to you yet or I sent you one last week that you haven't replied to!!!!
Anyhow, time off from the game has been fairly productive.  I cleaned up a fair portion of my room and my closet last night, it's not spotless.  There is vaccuming and dusting to be done.  That will probably be done tomorrow before I leave.  Next week I have a decent amount planned again for Thursday and Friday travel time so even if I wanted to play WoW it's unlikley again.

I went to see GI Joe on Friday.  I'll give it 2.5 stars.  I'll go see it agian if any of the locals want to see it in the theater.  It is, in fact, not a total campfest like one might think it would be.  They do a few good jokes in there to get out the 'in jokes' out of the way, but the film isn't bogged down by it.  After watching it I can see where some folks would say the film would be ruined by giving away to much turning it into a live action drama rather than sticking totally to canon.  I think 90% of the changes though for live action really worked.  There is plenty set up for the second movie if they do one, but honestly a sequal would probably suffer from MK syndrome and blow up.

Without giving away much of the movie I'll cover the finer points here that some people who might be on the fence about seeing it and care about knowing before seeing it.   First off most of the movie revolves around a plot by Destro, not Cobra Commander.  People who might find issue with this, know that IMO, they did a good background on Destro introducing at the beginning of the movie his ancestor and motivations (even if they are plain as day without them, it's a solid 3 minute opening to the film).  Movie makes a lot more sense (and less randomness) doing it that way.  Cobra Commander has modest screan time anyhow, and while nothing catches you extremely off guard, his actions certainly pan out, hence the name of the movie, 'The Rise of Cobra'.   Everything set up nice and neat for a sequal (one can only pray that it wouldn't suck horribly).

I'd say the most important thing the movie did was it didn't throw every Joe character out there in the first movie.  It also didn't limit itself to the 'first era' either.  What I'd say it did do well was focus on the core portion of the 'Joe' characters.  If I had to pick out the two most noticibly absent they would be Lady Jay and Flint.  If they do a sequal, here is to holding out for Shipwreck :P.  On the Cobra side of things they did a modest job of hitting the high points.  Destro, Cobra Commander, Baroness, and Storm Shadow were really the main stays of classic Cobra.  Zartan gets thrown in there as well and gets props for being used far better than he ever was as a toon (granted a movie gets 2 hours and a toon 30 minutes).  With the set up of the film if I were to make a sequal Tomax and Xamot are in there hands down.  Fits well with the way they set up the 'feel' of the first movie.

The cons that are in the movie, the Baroness backstory, while fitting into the frame of the movie, left me a little sour, but will probably leave me extremely sour depending on any of her involvement in a second movie and what direction it takes.   Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes backstory is pretty solid, if not predicitble (ok it's epicly predictible, but I thought done well) and it carries through well as a sub plot of the movie.  How it plays out in the movie though I was not to fond of.  I can't really say why here without giving away to much so I have to stop there.

Saturday's achievement was I sat down and finished Halo 3.  There wasn't a disappointing end to it like I was told. However, THEY LET SOME DOUCHEBAG DESIGNER DO THE LAST STAGE OF THE GAME!!!!!!  I'm thoroughly convinced they dug up some dude that programmed Mega Man 2 to come design and program the last stage.  Who the hell does randomly dropping platforms anymore.  I'm glad my controller and screen have the effect of shaking!  Most nuclear reactors in melt down have pretty catastrophic effects, including some release of some pretty harmful radiation.  But i'm pretty sure they didn't cause random panels to float away!!!!!!   So yes, 5 hours of my life all of which culminated in me dodging panels falling out of the sky.  Thanks a lot for making that part of my day anti climactic!

Just quick snippits for folks.  Was in an accident about 2 weeks ago in the parking lot of wal mart.  No major damage to my car.  Just a a dent in both it an my pride.  Next week my WoW account is turned of for the first time voluntarily.  I'm taking a break, at least 1 to 2 weeks, possibly longer.  It's suits little purpose anymore for me from an entertainment prospective.  Along with the contents, the connectivity issues, and increasing amount of asshats in the game have just pushed me to the point it isn't something enjoy and into the catagorey of something to occupy my time.  Probably means I will also disconnect myself from the computer a bit watch some movies and do some other stuff that I have accumulated but not touched in the past few years.  Anybody who needs to get in touch with me can post here or text or call me if you have my number.  I'm more than happy to give it out.  3.2 was released today.  I saw part of the dungeon, it was dual, I immediately felt irked and just headed out of the room.  Probably give it a shot tomorrow.  Don't have high hopes for it though.  LFG is already filled with post for 'elite blah blah blah for Trial of the Champion'.  Yep if that's the way things are don't think I'm going to miss the game all that much.

Showing how 'high mantanence' my life is these days (haha) I'm in mourning over the fact that WJFK (yes a radio station) is no more.   For those that don't know it was a talk station and yes I know that would sound weird to most people, but the fact of the matter is it was one of the few outlets in town that didn't tread some corporate BS or policital slant like oh 99% of the stations at ll.  And while in it's life span it did, at one point, host Bill O'Reily and G. Gordon Liddy, it's been free and clear of those outlets for quite some time (though Liddy while a staunch republican actually was pretty damn funny most of the time).   So the last vesitages of DJs/talk show hosts of the shock jock talk have been swept away from local raido.  No More Mike O'Mera (late of his own show and before that of course, the Don and Mike show which was a local establishment on 2 different radio stations for nearly 20 years) and no More Big O and Dukes.  The later I took really enjoying in stride not more than a month or two ago.  They have a myspace page of bigoanddukes with plenty of stuff up there from their time in Washington and a website of bigoanddukes.com which is underconstruction.  Any how about Big O and Dukes stuffage and why i'm broken up.

Here are two average joes (well except for maybe Oscar) who managed eto network to half the celebs in Washington DC, who in their early 30s managed to survive on the raid for long enough to harbor a solid audience with a unique set of segments, events, and schtik that honestly most DJs can't even muster (or for that matter even allowed to muster) with all corporate raido.  Where else can you find a show that reviews junkfood, gives you reviews on Halo Wars, and then have a debate about how gay male potty training can possibly develop into more outlandish and deviate behavior (and it's a pretty outlandish retarded snowball).   Furthermore when was the last time you ever saw a show of anykind have a roadtrip/meet just to go to a fast food restaurant (Sonice, as we all know only seems to exist 60 miles south of DC).  So the two of them I wish them god speed.  Dukies is already on the new format station doing sports talk (he had his first rant session about fishing not being a sport this week) and he looks to be adjusting well.  Oscar (the big O) has yet to land we wil see when that happens and I'm interested to see what format.   The Junks stayed on in the morning with a little retooling (they were sports based anyhow) and Mike O'mera will hopefully land on his feet again sometime soon (he's alread said he's taking time off).  So in the annuls that is local raido WJFK goes into th toilet like WAVA, WHFS, and so many others that have bought it in the last 5 years of corporate raido.  We get what we pay for, yeah I know but flipping on the radio after all these years locally and all of sudden they are gone, it's just mind bending.

And now onto yesterday which can be described as eventful.  I got in a small fender bender at Walmart, it's probably going to make my rates go up.  It's not to bad.  I got a dent in the back quarter of my car.  The SUV that I met (because it was backing up too) had a raised and slightly mangled bumper.  I'm betting their damage costs more.  We will see how that goes and hopefully they aren't douchebags and fight the insurance comapny (they shouldn't since it was mutual fault, but we will see what the law things 'rolls eyes*).  After I got home Ulduar was a smack around.  Decontructor kept going into the wall and Brood Mother harpoons were not arming as they should.  So after 2 hours of hitting our head against a well we called it quits.  Then the fun started.  Possibly more on that later, needless to say, I'm reserving complete judgement for awhile since right now I'm peeved.  However if it blows up worse by the time I get home from work tomorrow and it carries over into the raid, I'm lopping heads.

Thanks to my roommate we have new and faboo euphamism for the world's oldest profession.  I bring you on his behalf:

NOCTURNAL MERCENARY!!!!

I think it's pretty damn sweet.  Put that puppy on your resume and see if that doesn't turn heads and start discussion up in the interview.  Heck it's better code than go get a cheesesteak!!!!

This week has seen the passing ofr 3 cutlural icons in America.

Earlier this week Ed Mcmahon passed away  Today we mourn Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.   No matter whether you loved or didn't any of these people for what they did or didn't do, each touched (no jokes intended) the culture foundations of America's entertainment for the past 30+ years in some way shape or form.  May they all rest in peace.

Ok seriousa DOUBLE ear infection for 5 days, 1 of which I'll probably have to make up from work!  So here is the exciting party of the saga.

I get up early on Friday because the day before I had a contractor at my house doing work and head on over to the clinic down the road, they open at 7 on the spot.  THEY ARE CLOSED!!!! Their AC went out and it is being fixed so they won't open until noon.  Luckly they have a sister clinic about 5 miles down the road.  THEY DON"T OPEN UNTIL 8!!!! I vegged around as best as I can what with my jaw sore and wanting to cut off my head to stop the pressue. I get there I"m the second one there.  All cool, get in withing 15 minutes, looking good!!!! Then I get PUT IN A WAITING ROOM NEXT TO THE LAB WHERE THEY HAVE A RADIO GOING LOUDLY FOR THE WHOLE FUCKING OFFICE TO HEAR!!! I might as well been sitting next to a sub wuffer and a radio, fucking eh!!  So after a longer wait in the room then probably I should have, I get seen get my drugs come back home and actually sleep for 4 hours while the contractor is putting in my new french door on the back of the house (it's nice). 

Jessi called me later asking if I wanted to come on over to see 12 for his birthday.  It wasn't happening.  I was in way to much pain.  Roommate went over, said it was a small affair in the end but all good.  He said didn't get back until 5 or 6 am.  Since I couldn't go I'll have to figure out a rain check day and take him out to dinner.

Saturday was to be Father's day since I work Sundays.  Nope wasn't happening.  Rain check on that one.  TBA make up date in late July!!! My parents are going to France.  I still want them to bring back a Kaiser Helmet for me :)

Sunday, woek didn't happen, to much pain, no real sleep the night before.  Slept well, slept until 1 pm.  Called my boss a second time (called her about 10) and told her I wasn't comming in.  Have to look and see if I need to make up that time to avoid a write up tomorrow.  Oh wait it gets better though, I WOKE UP IN FUCKING HIVES!!! I've still yet to figure out what caused them.  But anyhow I threw sheets away and grabbed some new ones.  Not sure what caused it, wasn't anything I haven't eatten before.

Monday I wake up around 945, I have the day off for a Hopkins appointment.  Itching like crazy.  I went down to the store and got some benydril before heading out.  I'm through 3/4 of the bottle in 2 days now.  I picked up some coca butter and such tonight and took a baking soda bath.  It's driving me nuts.  The rest of the day was going good, I got there early, was able to park on the bottom floor of the garage (at ground level) and even had time to eat  (usually i'm running late).  Check up went fine.  So what went wrong here you say!!!!  Yes you guessesd it I tryed to go out the 'In' gate!!!!! Fortunately the car coimming in was at the other side of the garage and I 'got it' quick enough to turn around!!! I'm fully expecting some douche bag traffic light ticket now for some light I missed when they dilated my eyes (makes for a good 90 mile trip home!!!!)..

And finally your random useless factoid of the day.  While taking my baking soda bath I wanted to know whey they called it  'lukewarm' well':

luke⋅warm 

Nothing more really to say.  As was noted by my roommate who just came downstairs, we clear three of four wings in Nax in impressive time and then manage to flap around, like a fish out of water and lose focus on the fourth, We then rebound long enough to do Sapphron.  Tonight I've got other matters on my brain for next week.  Who tanks, who heals, find two random bodies to DPS.  Same old problem every two weeks.  Throw on top of that I got a healer who wants to DPS RIGHT NOW and I'm running out of tanking options really fast.

Tons of tanks in the guild and none wants to raid atm or if they do they aren't signing up.  I'm running out of healers to pull from that aren't already doing stuff in the raid.  Additionally every two weeks I'm at a lack of DPS. 

Top onto that I've got other issues that came to head tonight.  Some of which I think I can figure out myself, but I'll find out more about tomorrow.  The other more bothersome trend tonight was the issue at hand between what amounted to bickering and a lack of me exercisiono less control then I should have in some instances and more than I had to in others.  It's been a personal goal that I want to succeed in leading us in raid and I don't want to give that up.  But if I'm going to watch people rip into each other every week in either obvious or subtle ways, I don't know that it's worth 'success' in that endevour.  I guess I will figure that out tomorrow too.

I firmly belive that there will be some relief for all of us once KT is dead when we do it as a guild.  All of us in group have killed him outside the guild. It's just a matter of doing it as friends.  None of it is worth it though if we are just going to be at each other's throats.  Week by week things seem to degrade in raid slowly.  More often at a very very small level.  It is however tangible and growing to the point I'm affraid it maybe unforgiving.  So much frustation about a game, ugh.

and now irritable because my first post got erased when I jerked and hit the mouse.  Work sucked more on the second day then the first.  Long hours = me exhausted.   The workload was not taxing, just the long day.

My raid schedule was actually busy and full this past weekend. Went to Mira's raid with Xav for the first time (for both of us).  He got some loot I got some badges and a little agnst when a healer took a DPS staff.   Them is the breaks with DKPesq systems.  But It hurt to see and watch none the less.  Her raid has plenty of personality that is for sure.  I'm still out a limb at to whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.  Xav was of the opinion after I told him I'd give him the raid web page and channel that he'd just kinda pug with them for now if he need them or not go if they didn't call on him.  More so for his desire to keep his weekend opened up for at least one whole day if he chose.  I'm keeping my eye and ear out there after brief seemingly 'in one ear out the other' convo with Tower.  I don't know him very well so I'll withhold judgement on the guy.  It's just how I felt talking to the guy after the raid gauging needs, interest, and what direciton they are going to go (which seems to be rebuilding atm). 

So 3 raids full of badges. One new trinket, which isn't doing exactly what I want atm, but it also isn't detracting severly yet either.  Have a repeat invite for Nax this Friday and Saturday so I should be doing that.  This week's guild run should be our 'on' week when we should have everyone.  So KT dies or i'm just going to go through a little more personal angst as to the fact we have been working on getting their reliably by stop time and not getting the job done.  'B" week, or the week that i have to pull pugs or strings, or possibly an army of pygmies to make the raid go off is over and had modest success.  Hopefully we can duplicate it this week.  I'm going to mix things back up this week, because of the fact we seemed to do better with certain people tanking and doing quarters in a particular order.  If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to do that will give us that extra time.  Hopefully we solve that though so I don't pull out my hair.  In preperation thought for either needing a break or 'something new' I did put up a 'raid surprise' for end game content at the end of the month to either be used as Nax if KT squashing is finally running it's full course.  Or if we just need a week to get away from Nax and do something else.  We will see when we get there!

lastly i'm having to figure out a 'probation' as I've got one person not getting an invite anytime soon and my assist agrees with me.  When I figure out what that is then, well, they will get a chance to raid again.  Otherwise, a lot has to go wrong for them to get back into raid anytime soon.  Sucking my toes or my cock isn't going to get them back in either until that probation is worked out.  I hate being a dick for a raid that is supposed to be the guild/fun run.  But when you consistantly hold up the raid week after week enough is enough!  Name isn't here to protect the guilty.

What I can see is basically a straight line to my eye.  What I can't see clearly and read is nearly everything else.  I sat down today to try and read some LJs and catch up.  A lot of posts are up in the past week or so.  Sadly I can't read many of them for very long.   It just ives me a killer headache because it's almost like I have to read them letter by letter and that is a pain in the ass.  So don't mind me if I'm keeping up on things weeks old here in the near future.  I just can't read them well enough any other way :(

If folks need me or just need an ear shoot me a text or call me.  text are hard to read as well, but they are  easier for me to read (I have no idea why. So I can read and reply to them.  I haved a landscaper comming soon to get some quotes.  The HOA wantes some bushes trimmed and or removed.  Was planning on doing it anyway.  At least the timing has me at home right now where I can do something about it.  DOctor is sill n a 4-6 week for recovery, ugh.  ok landscape guy is here so I need to head out.

I'm trying to do laundry and the thing has 4 wheel selectors for the wash and two to start the bloody thing. It is concievable that I have set up the destination for a nuclear missle strike as well as wash my load of laundry. If you here something streaking to your house it isn't my fault. I blame my parents and theit trusting the sake of humanity (and the fate of my laundry) to a blind man.

Hopefully this time to get the treatment for the eye. That is what is scheduled.  I'll be down and out from work for a month.  I don't know what else to day right now except I expect to be drugged to high hell during that time.  I got the messages about Memorial Day for the folks that have sent it and I'll see what I can do about visiting.  However that is only 2 weeks into my recovery so I don't know how I will be at that time.  I'll do my best to keep people posted.  I brought my maginifying screen hom work so hopefully that will help out in me being able to keep in contact with folks.  I'm off to Baltimore early tomorrow and will do my best to give/pass along word when I have some to give.
