Eyes, Don’t Fail Me Now

I have had amazing 20/20 or better vision all my life. My eye doctor was always impressed with my amazing ability to see things far away and I must admit, it was fun to brag. Kyle, our (old) roommate and his girlfriend all wear glasses/contacts. I enjoyed not having to whine about my eyes being dry or tired because of the lenses. I would brag about becoming a fighter pilot because of my awesome vision. But …

The other day I was playing my new video game like the nerd I am and had a hard time reading the print on the screen. I figured my eyes were just tired – yup, just tired. It was fairly late in the evening, so I figured I just needed to go to bed. However, the next day, the words on the screen were still a little blurry. Aww, shit. I asked Kyle if they looked blurry to him, and he said no. Double shit. Now I’m contemplating going to the eye doctor to find out if my beautiful 20/20 vision is finally failing me.

Believe me – I didn’t think it would last forever. Both of my parents wear corrective lenses. My mom for distance, my dad all the time, so I knew it would only be a matter of time before I had to get them. I just thought it would last a little longer. I don’t think I look good in glasses. My biggest fear is that the only ones that will look good on me are the black-rimmed ones that all the Asian kids wear. *sigh* We’ll see I guess.

I’m Home

I’m sitting in my house, in my living room, looking out at my patio.

Things couldn’t be any more perfect right now.

Actually, that’s a lie. If the boxes could please unpack themselves, that would be great.

Our spare bedroom and computer room are both a mess, but at this point, we don’t care. I’m exhausted from the past couple days and all I want to do is sleep. But I love it. We had so much amazing help moving on Saturday; We got everything from one house to the other in about two hours! And the weather seemed to cooperate long enough for us to move the beds and couch.

Our digital cable and Internet are being install hopefully on Tuesday. Luckily, the cable and Internet are still working from the past occupants, so I can still do my freelancing/blog/be lazy. (I was feeling a little lost without it!) On Friday we’re going to have our phone hooked up.

Daphne is also good and settled in. Life’s just peachy :)

Waiting for it to Settle

Hey You! Did you enter my super awesome giveaway yet? You probably should. Hey Look! I’ll even provide a quick & dirty link to it right here. Check it out, you won’t be sorry! TODAY IS THE LAST DAY YOU CAN ENTER!

Now back to your regular programming:

*****************************************

Ever since Kyle and learned that our house offer was accepted, I’ve had nothing but horrible anxiety. Usually, it’s crazy butterflies, but now … now it’s chest achiness. And it’s HORRIBLE. It feels like someone’s punched me in the gut and is pressing on my chest.

It almost feels like indigestion. But it’s all. the. time. I just want all of the paperwork to go through, have those keys in my hand and move it. But I can’t. I have to wait a month. We still have, what I can assume to be, piles of paperwork to go through.

Of course, I’m still crazy excited to have my own house, I just didn’t think the anxiety would be this bad. But, when you think about it, it makes sense. We’re signing our lives away for 35 years. We’ll be almost 60-years-old. I’m still waiting for that idea to settle in.

In the meantime, enter my giveaway, help me keep my mind off the craziness that is house buying and have a great weekend! For the first time in weeks, I don’t have to work all day Saturday. It better be sunny, because I want to rid myself of my pasty white skin!

What are you weekend plans?
