PRK, Ongoing

I guess I’m one of the folks whose PRK recovery time has gone past the one month mark.  I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t disappointing…
All haloing is gone, as far as I can tell.  Pretty much the only thing that gives me troubles is that time between day and night, when the sun [...]

My PRK Experience

So I decided to have laser vision correction.  The decision wasn’t made lightly, and I did a fair amount of research into all of it.  I mean, you only have one chance, right?  I’d heard and read good things about it.  It actually amazed me how many people I know who have had it done, or [...]

Progress on the Sweater

A quick shot of my sweater progress…I should probably try it on…or something.
I got a little careless with the waist decreases/increases because my measurements were slightly off somehow. For example, instead of decreasing at 14″ it ended up being at 13.5″.  I must have had too much wine that night.
I’m still only up to 5 [...]

Owie!

I’m going to be volunteering a couple hours on the weekends at a local hospital.  But before you can volunteer, you have to get a TB test.  I stopped looking when she pulled out the needle.  Okay, so it didn’t hurt THAT BAD, but still.  Don’t I get a cartoon band-aid?
