i have not fallen off the face of the planet....
thursday night with miss jacki was fun. video games, skee ball, and a lot of laughter. it was probably the most fun i have ever had in ybor. thanks miss jacki.
friday was a full day. drove across the state to hit two doctors appointments then went to mom and dad's house. went to the dentist who chided me for smoking. no cavities. went to the bookstore and bought seven new books. i am not going to disclose what i purchased because these titles are far more embarrassing than even the 'lesbian couples' book i was reading earlier this summer as a self-help to try to inform me as to how i could fix my broken relationship. then off to the eye doctor that i have been going to since i was nine. she informed me that my left cornea is damaged. apparently i have been wearing my contacts for too long each day. my eyes need more oxygen than they are getting. she gave me a pair of 'extended wear' contacts to try. i am supposed to wear the contacts while at work and take them out as soon as i get home to give my eyes a break. the new contacts are apparently more gas pourous, which will supposedly allow my eyes to get more oxygen. so i have a check up in two weeks. i'm nervous. when the doctor was doing the eye exam to try to determine my new prescription and she put that shield thing in front of my face, we went through the right eye with no problem. she put new lenses in front of me, did the whole, "does one look better than two? three help, or four?" and so on... when we did the left eye, i couldn't get my eye to focus on the letters i was trying to see. nothing she was doing was helping. i have never had that problem before. it was really quite scary. i already have amazingly bad eye-sight. the last thing i need is to lose sight in one or both of them. so i have a check up with her in two weeks. another trip across the state...
saturday was surprisingly okay. my dad and i played golf. i haven't played with him in ages. it was the first time he has beaten me at golf in ten years. i was a little unnerved. i need to practice more so that never happens again. mom had to work all day so when dad and i got home, we put together dinner for mom and invited grandma to come over. i think i have developed a filter in my brain over the years. i never hear a word my grandma says. i tune her out as soon as she starts speaking. i guess that is better than getting pissed off at every prejudiced and ignorant remark she utters. i love my grandmother, don't get me wrong, she just drives me nuts. we watched 'something's gotta give' that night, it was amusing. the best part about the evening was listening to my mom laugh for most of the movie.
today, mom sent the two best little dogs in the world, into my room to wake me up. they are so fun. its impossible to get mad at happy little dogs who want attention from a sleepy visitor. dad went out to do yardwork. mom and i headed to waterford lakes to do some shopping. she got me a book (that i am going to send to amy as soon as i have finished reading it). she bought a couple of pairs of pants that i am mildly excited about. new jeans that i needed and new pin-striped pants for the conference in november. then we headed to target. we shopped for all of the necessities and when we were ready to check-out a thunderstorm unleashed buckets of rain outside. we decided to stay in the store and shop. two hours and lots of money later. i ended up with fun things like laundry baskets, cleaning supplies, groceries, toothpaste, a new toolbox... etc.
i drove 85% of the way back to my apartment in the rain. talked to some friends on the way home, wishing that i felt like spending time with any of them. the only person i really wanted to talk to or spend time with was amy. i had not heard from her for 48 hours. we finally talked just as i was arriving back at my apartment. we had a great conversation. it felt so good to hear her voice today. just filled me with warmth...
thats enough for now...
