What a wild weekend
I highly doubt that any of my "fans" are even bothinging to log into this anymore. (NOTE TO SELF:Six months between posts is NOT a good way to keep an audience.)
Anyway, a few things have happened since then;
1) 2 trips to Wasington
2) A trip to San Diego
3) A mass exodus of co-workers from my small company
4) 3 months of work horror
5) Tennis lessons
6) A visit from almost ALL family members to CA to escape the MN winter
7) A family emergency - we are on the road to ok now - thanks! and
8) One scratched cornea - to top off the end of a long buisness trip.
The cornea incident really kind of sums up my week -
I have been travelling and didn't have all my contact lense stuff - I think I may not have used enough solution and part of my contact my have gotten hard and scratched up the cornea. I awoke this morning without the ability to open my eye - and a feeling that felt like I had a large rock in my eye. What irony that I spent nearly 10 hours at a hospital on Friday surrounded by doctors and nurses, only to find myself completly lost as to how to get some one to look at my eye - being the out of towner I am this weekend!!!
A trip to the wonderful urgent care diagnosed the problem, and opened up several more.
a) I can't wear contacts for a week
b) I have lost 3 pair of glasses in the last 8 months, so I don't have any. (Well, at least any with TWO lenses in them).
c) I have no idea where my prescription is to go to lense crafters and get new ones
d) What is the scoop with my new eye insurance - OH! I'll check on line
e) Ugh. no access to high speed internet - dial up for me!
f) Ugh again - no doctor on a Sunday at the store that takes my insurance. Lense crafters it is! I hope some one can drive me there tomorrow. This sure would go a long way in helping me drive my car home from the airport on Monday.
Can't wait to get back to work where I have some control. And I really miss Mr. Funky and our dog.
