So apparently you can get chicken pox without spots. I finally went in for an eye exam apparently after 4 years I found out because I couldn’t see. My eyes were all red just like in the picture (even found some blue eyes which mine are) but I always attributed it lack of sleep since I don’t sleep at night. I’ve had red eyes for YEARS. They never itched though which they do now. It is actually only in my left eye and because of this I cannot wear contacts for at LEAST a month until this virus dissipates. Nothing to do but wait and let me tell you it is NOT fun wearing glasses. I DESPISE glasses. My eye sight is horrendous and my prescription jumped -0.5 in the left eye and -1.0 in the right eye so now I’m at -5.25 and -5.50 which is bad.

I had to get my eyeglass lens replaced urgently since I could not see out of them and you know what? I still cannot see out of them. The virus makes the left eye blurry so that cannot be fixed until after it is over and the cornea clears up. But my right eye? OMG. They are going to have to go stronger once I go back in a month to see if it has cleared up. Typing this right now I am so close to the monitor it is unreal. Driving is a bit tricky to say the least but you know what? I have no chauffer to cart me around. Working out sucks donkey balls too because the sweat drips down my face and my glasses fall down and then drops on the lens and because I have no peripheral vision anymore I can’t see the step sometimes.

Let me repeat…. I HATE WEARING GLASSES!

This better clear up before I have to take the kids to camp or I will lose it. This is like the worst time for this to happen and the worst season too.

Oh and by the way, yes I had the real chicken pox twice as a child. Lucky me.

1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?
Don’t do it? Honestly, I do not see the need if you truly love someone. A piece of paper does make a marriage and therefore does not need one IMO.

2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be?
Exercise and watch what you eat because it will come back to haunt you when you hit your 30-40s.

3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer? (AC, windows, fans, swimming, etc.)
AC at the house. I cannot sleep when I’m hot.

4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?
N/A since I have never been pregnant nor aim to be.

5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?
I don’t really have one. I know one I wouldn’t want which is from Married with Children.

===============

On a side note, I thought I already started to kill off the lettuce bowl but found out it just needed water. I moved it out of direct sunlight now to see how that goes. *woopsies*

Acting Balance has started a new Monday Quiz.

The Rules: I’m going to ask FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting on the four standard questions you answered!

1. Finish this sentence – The chore that I hate most is…
Cleaning the kitchen floors because I no sooner clean them and the dogs have paw prints everywhere.

2. What are you most looking forward to this summer?
Oddly enough the kidney camp I take the kids to every year.

3. Where do you do most of your grocery shopping? How often do you shop?
Bi-Lo maybe 1-2 times per week because I never buy huge amounts of stuff since it is just me. I’ll buy enough for a couple days of meals and then go back for something else.

4. Why do you blog?
Started out blogging because everybody was doing it and now I don’t think I could stop because I enjoy it.

And your question is:

5. Do you grow a garden?

I found this meme on another blog and tracked it back to the originator. There are some interesting questions and a great way to know me a little more. You can check it out at Meet Me on Monday Meme back from hiatus. Here goes…

1. I wish _________
a lot of things but I know they won’t happen unless I can do something about it.

2. If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?
Hmm, maybe the first flight of a plane.

3. Do you like to cook?
Yes but I don’t often because I don’t really like eating leftovers and it is just me in the house.

4. What do you like to do to get exercise?
I wouldn’t go so far as say like but I do it anyways. Lift weights, spinning, running, walking (sometimes with the dog), elliptical and most currently specific exercises to strengthen by hip and lower quadrant for my back.

5. How tidy are you?
Umm, to some extend obsessive compulsive about tidiness in a certain way too.

So we all know how badly I kill plants but one of my friends works at a nursery and she got these awesome lettuce bowls in. I mean who wouldn’t want to be able to walk out on their back porch and grab a few leaves to make a salad right? Well, I’m hoping I don’t kill the poor thing. I was told to place it half in, half out of light so I have it on my back porch where it will get sun in the morning full on and then just indirect light once the sun passes over my backyard. I am only to water it every few days unless I see the leaves really wilting then give it some water. Beyond that I’m hopeless :/

I did cut some leaves off yesterday though and make a little salad with some tuna fish. It was yummy!
