Sunshine!!

It's 90 degrees today and I am loving it! Wish I could have gone to the beach but sadly I was stuck inside. Oh well, less than a month til Myrtle Beach and then summer!

Getting my hair done tomorrow, very excited, then dinner with a long lost friend. I love reunions.

i can see clearly now!

Well, almost. My vision still isn't perfect yet. Staring at the computer or watching a lot of TV are actually the most uncomfortable things to do since it puts such a strain on them. Unfortunately, I work 8 hours a day in front of a computer. Grrr.

The surgery was a piece of cake, seriously. I had two of my wisdom teeth taken out at the dentist with only Novocain and that was far, far more horrendous than having my eyes lasered.

They offer you Valium to take before hand, but I always get nervous things like that will make me sick, plus I didn't want to be all loopy, so I didn't take it. When I got into the surgery room (they legit line you up assembly-line style to take you into the surgery, it only takes maybe ten minutes to do the actual lasering) the doctor asked if I took the Valium. When I said no, he said "Well then don't squirm" with an attitude. So I said "I won't squirm" with an attitude right back. And I didn't squirm. Afterward he admitted I didn't need the Valium, I did so well. Told him so. It was really just a bit uncomfortable but really not bad at all. I was seeing better immediately after, but things were still really fuzzy. The next morning it was like a miracle. It will take a few weeks before I am seeing perfectly, but I am able to see and function and drive and everything. I highly, highly recommend it.

More post to come on recent activities and whatnot, but I really haven't wanted to be in front of the computer, unfortunately.




My life now - tons of eyedrops! But my sunglasses are back!




I had to change the font on my work computer to Extra Large. Getting more Nana-like every day.

my big day!!!

Today is a very, very exciting day for me: I am having laser eye surgery!! I have worn glasses/contacts since I was in sixth grade (I'm 24 now!) and I really just want to be able to wake up in the morning, open my eyes, and see! After today, I will finally be able to do that.

It's pretty expensive, but since my mom convinced me to do it, and because she's an awesome mom, she is paying for about half of it. I'm bummed I have to dig into my precious savings to pay for this, but it will totally be worth it in the end.

I've had to wear glasses for the past three weeks because you can't wear contacts before the pre-op or the operation. It's been torrtuurree.

I'll be sure to do an update later tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much I can see. I can't wait!




Say goodbye to these bad girls!
