Chicken Pox x 3

Blueyes™ — Mon, 14 May 2012 00:02:32 +0000

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.

I’m A Graduate

Blueyes™ — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:15:07 +0000

I checked my grades yesterday and they were all in. I passed economics by the skin of my teeth and probably am one of the lucky ones who did because that class is rough. First degree down, second one in the fall of this year. Then I can start applying for jobs. I have been getting offers as I preregistered for the Boeing site to what my degree was in and when I would graduate but I need to update that because I decided this past semester I was going to do a double major as they offered a new degree that I wanted. I love the fact that some of the job offers were overseas. I would love to go back over there just not to Germany lol.

That’s all I got today.

Weight Fluctuations

Blueyes™ — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:41:39 +0000

As we get older we must become more aware of what we eat and be sure to exercise regularly. Not everybody can have those great genes with fast metabolisms. I know it sure as heck does not run in my family. Some years ago I went to our Weight Management division and got on their Slimfast study for 3 years which consisted of Slimfast protein bars, shakes, and protein powders. Lost just over 80 lbs and got down to almost 150 with counting how many calories I was eating as well as exercise. Since that study has been over I have slacked on my eating portions as well as what I eat and have gained some of it back. I can only blame myself. I am working towards getting it off again though.

Due to my back limitations now it is even worse as I cannot lift weights like I used to because it is very difficult to bend over into the proper positions. Taking a spinning class actually hurts as well when I have to sit in the seat for more than a few minutes and I usually end up in position 2 or 3 which is standing or over the handle bars for almost the entire hour. Running eliminates my back pain due to the endorphins and I now do that more often and for longer periods of time because I end up being pain free which is a nice feeling. I am still waiting for my orthopedics appointment which is in May for my steroid injection. If I don’t get that injection the same day I see them I’m going to go ballistic because this pain is horrendous and I do NOT like taking pain pills on a daily basis considering they only just take the edge off so most of the time I suffer because I won’t take them.

Acting Balance has taken over the Meet Me on Monday. Thank you, thank you!

1. Did you prank, get pranked or ignore April Fool’s Day?
Ignore it.

4. What is one thing you miss about being a kid?
Not being responsible.

Not sure about the last name but the first name would be Terry since whenever people want names for things I give them that because nobody can understand me when I say my first one and immediately say something else. It baffles me every time.
