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.

Five Question Friday #4

Blueyes™ — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:19:28 +0000

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*

Blueyes™ — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:19:34 +0000

Acting Balance has started a new Monday Quiz.

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.

Started out blogging because everybody was doing it and now I don’t think I could stop because I enjoy it.

Meet Me on Monday #66

Blueyes™ — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:11:57 +0000

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.

Umm, to some extend obsessive compulsive about tidiness in a certain way too.

Lettuce Bowl

Blueyes™ — Sun, 06 May 2012 14:50:21 +0000

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!

Shout It Out!

Blueyes — Sat, 05 May 2012 00:42:37 +0000

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I think laundry must be the bain of every household. The more people you have in the household the worse it is. I live alone with my furkids. Each week I have at least 3 loads of laundry to do. One load just for my gym clothes. I've never been one to separate whites from colors. That would make for extra loads of laundry I don't want to have to wait for.

I even bring my lab coats from work home to clean often. I think I have had just about everything dumped on these lab coats either by myself or by patients. The one thing I battle on every single lab coat and why they probably should be cleaned more often than I do is the cuffs, especially of my right hand since I'm a righty. The surfaces of desks and what not around here are filthy which sticks to the cuffs of my lab coat. No matter how many times I wash the lab coat I can never get the stain (which is what it is by now) completely resolved.

I have used Shout® Trigger before and still use it on the cuffs of the lab coat because it can take out most of the stains. I am actually looking at the cuffs now and they have marker and dirt all over it plus some spots that are black because I have not washed this one just yet. I like using Shout® because I do not have to worry about it bleaching out the colors like some others I have tried since I do not separate the whites. I also like that it is a spray bottle verses some of the other ones I have tried. Just spray it on the stain and I rub the clothes together to make sure it really gets in there and then toss it in the wash. Some products work for certain people and you just have to try them all to see which one works for you. I always keep stain removers on hand in the laundry room so I don't have to keep going to Walmart and buy them.

Five Question Friday #3

Blueyes™ — Fri, 04 May 2012 12:41:52 +0000

1. What did you wear to prom? Include a picture if possible.
My Junior Prom I wore one of the Southern Belle dresses in peach if I remember correctly. I was not allowed to go to my Senior Prom because I did not have a date.

2. Would you rather be on the biggest loser or a food eating challenge?
Eh, biggest loser because there is no way I’d win any sort of food eating challenge due to the fact that I would refuse to eat a lot of stuff they might want me too and be off within minutes of the show starting lol

3. Done fave sonic drink? Refreshing summer drink? (Hey, Kristina…was that a typo, or some “done good” Southern thing?)
A drink from Sonic? Never been there. Favorite summer drink? Sugar Free Kool-Aid Grape.

4. What was your first car, and what did you call it?
Chevrolet something or other and I don’t name my cars.

5. What’s one thing your child or spouse does that sends you over the edge?
I do not have either but the dogs irk me when they keep wanting to go outside every 5 minutes and then back in in 5 minutes.

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.

Virtual Offices

Blueyes™ — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:29:54 +0000

You cannot get away without one these days especially if you are in business for yourself. Sure we have our home offices and your standard work offices but the virtual office is coming into its own. I know a few people who actually are a group of people in which they rent a space so they can meet clients and have a business address to receive work related mail. If you happen to be traveling a lot for your line of work it might be feasible to search out locations to rent along the way.

Virtual Offices in Brisbane would be spectacular. When you rent space in other countries you can obtain a local address, phone number, receptionist if needed, and complete office communication access.

Along with the being your own company, other jobs can require or be in need of a virtual office as well. Take being a doctor. You need to have access to all medical records if you happen to be on call and at home should the hospital call with a question. With the degrees I am obtaining, I will most likely have a virtual office as well because you cannot fix computers in just one place. You need to go where the work takes you but you also need to have access to your information. Maybe one day I can own my own business as well so I would want to have access to this for the office space and communications. It would be nice to run everything out of your house but if you have to meet clients that would not be the most ideal.
