Whoa!
No, I'm not stoned. I had an eye appointment this morning to use my eye care allowance up before my insurance expires at the end of the month.
I have a great eye doctor. He's very thorough but also explains what every test is for and what the results mean. All good information even though my brain always processes it as: YOU ARE GETTING OLD AND GOING BLIND MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY.
After my eyes were dilated, I was asked if I had sunglasses with me. I said they were in the car. So I paid and headed to my car and the minute I stepped out of the shade OMFG it's so freaking bright out! I made it to the car after almost colliding into a bicyclist on the side walk and drove home with no problem.
My phone rang but I couldn't see who it was. Usually I would let it go to voicemail, but I'm glad I answered because...
IT WAS A JOB OFFER!
In two weeks, I will once again be a productive member of society.
Again, I want to reiterate how grateful I am for all your comments, emails, instant messages and phone calls. Your support has meant the world to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now, what the hell am I going to do for the next two weeks?

Whew. I can now sleep better at night.
Except for those big anime eyes that I feel are staring at me in my dreams.

1. Grab a man, any man, kiss him on the lips. (You may deem him cute, or not, your choice.) Pass on the luck.
2. Celebrate with a drink, any drink. I prefer something alcoholic.
3. Start putting together your outfit for day one...NOW.
What? It takes me that long to decide what to wear.
Congrats!
