I can see!!!

This week sinus issues have reared their ugly head. It's not awful but I've been self medicating with the hope that it won't get worse. The last 2 nights I've been asleep for 8:00. Yep, you read that right. It's a miracle I made it that late. Sinus meds totally knock me out. During the day I take Mucinex. For some reason it's the only thing that doesn't knock me out. In fact it keeps me awake but I still feel sleepy. Weird. Because of that I had this
and this

the last 2 afternoons.

Let's talk about these
Seriously, they're going to be the death of me. I purposely only ordered 1 box. I ordered Dean a box of a different type that I'm not interested in. Well, they were delivered Sunday & my box was gone yesterday. I tried to stick to the serving size of 2 cookies. That lasted Sunday. Monday I was contemplating eating the rest of the box so they'd be gone. I decided that I didn't want to be sick so I refrained. This leads me to a problem. It's virtually impossible to go grocery shopping in this town right now because you'll be assaulted by a zillion little girls trying to sell you more cookies. They park themselves, along with their poor moms who have better things to do than hang out outside of Walmart peddling cookies, in front of the store & ask you as you're going in the store AND out of the store if you want cookies. I don't know about you but they wear me down. I might make it in the door without buying a box but the chances of me making it out without any is slim. The only solution may be to get Dean to do all the grocery shopping until they're gone. He has no problem saying no. Not in a mean way.

A few weeks ago I went for my yearly eye exam. Yes, I'm 39 yrs. old & my eyes still change EVERY YEAR! So annoying. I'm scared to death the day will come when the Dr. says "Nobody makes contacts in this strength". This year the Dr. found some minor issues with my eyes & told me I needed to cut down on the amount of time I wear my contacts. Apparently, 16 hours a day isn't real healthy. This led me to get new glasses. The pair I have are probably 5 prescriptions old. Now, there's a story here. Imagine that. I ordered the glasses the week before Mardi Gras. It should take a week to get them but maybe a few days longer since they were going through New Orleans & they completely shut down for Mardi Gras. No biggie. It's not like I'm wearing them to work or anything. Sooo, 2 weeks later we find out that the post office has lost them. I personally believe someone is walking around Jackson, MS in my glasses. Probably the same person that has my camera. I digress. This isn't the first time I've had an issue with the post office & I'm sure it won't be the last. My glasses had to be re-made. I picked them up yesterday.
Yes, they're Coach. HAHA! I don't need Coach glasses. The problem is because my vision is so bad I have to have all sorts of fancy things done to the lenses so they're not as heavy or as thick, etc. There are only certain frames that work well with those lenses. I will admit I was disappointed when the Michael Kors didn't work for me. Anyway, I think for glasses they're cute & I won't be mortified if I actually have to wear them out of the house.

Toodles!

  3. I can't wear my contacts more than about 8 hours, and much prefer my glasses for reading, watching TV or sewing. I should get some new ones. I really like yours.

    I've been really good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) about turning a blind eye to those cute little girl scouts. I haven't been eating any sugar, and I'm not willing to compromise at this point. I'm going to a birthday party tonight, and am not planning to indulge there, either. Wish me luck!

  7. I like these glasses! I usually pick out the cheapest frames because I rarely wear them out of the house. When I do I just try to think that I look smart! lol!

    Tagalongs...my favorite. The little Girls Scouts have not come knocking yet so I am being good! ;-D

    XO,

  9. Congrats again on that run! It was SO cold!!! I don't know how you did it - but love your chemo perspective. :)

    I have similar eye issues. Never wear my glasses that I have had for about 8 years - for real. Contacts in all the time, eyes burning, etc. is not good.

    You know my little sister up and moved to Jackson MS - ON PURPOSE no less. I will have her check on your stuff.... ;)
