April 9

Two weeks from today, I am having Lasik eye surgery to correct my near-sightedness. No more glasses, no more contacts. I'm nervous but excited. The free consult this morning went well, they told me everything was perfect and I'm an ideal candidate. The procedure costs twice as much as I was expecting, but I got interest free financing, so it's going to be pretty cheap to pay for. After 25 years of contacts, I'm sure I've spent that much already on exams, glasses and new contacts every year. I just hope I don't accidentally rub my eye afterwards and screw up my recovery. I might shower with swimmers goggles just to be safe! No gym, no sauna and no tanning booth for the 4 days after surgery to be safe. ( I should probably lay off the blow & hookers while I'm at it.)

My friends are amazing, they were so supportive after I came home from the funeral. It's been difficult, to say the least, but I think we'll be okay. I donated blood earlier today, my blood pressure is a little lower than usual and my resting heart rate is a little higher, I suppose the stress of the last month has taken it's toll. I've decided to get a tattoo of my Grandmother's intials on my right calf, not sure where I'm going to get it done yet.
