WARNING: there are eyeball pictures that can be a trigger for some towards the end.

Yesterday was the last day I wore my prescription glasses for a full day. I was surprised by how many compliments I got wearing them. I guess I’m still scarred by being made fun of when I was a kid.

This morning, June took me to see the wizard for new eyeballs. I signed my life away and swiped my cards to pay for everything.

After having much laughter with the nurse I went into the room and got my procedure done. They were nice enough to take pictures for me.

This is what you see on the monitors. How crazy is this?! You can see the flap they made too.

The whole procedure took 10 to 15 minutes. I really don’t even know because the Xanax made me so chill. All I remember is taking a picture with Dr. Kevin Merkley and walking out the door.

As we drove home we stopped and bought food but since I was woozy I ended up sleeping the whole time until 6pm. I had a long phone call with Delisha, ate dinner, and am already ready to go back to bed.

There is little discomfort but nothing too major. I do have to keep up with artificial tears constantly so it won’t dry up. The other drops I need to take are four times a day for a week. These do burn just a bit. I cannot wait for this to all be healed so i can live a life without contacts or glasses. Last time I remember that life was back in 1st grade.

Happiest 6th birthday to my baby boy! I celebrated him by getting him a bully stick and a new toy. One of the pet stores we go to give out a birthday coupon so his new toy was free. The last time he had a bully stick was over a year ago so he was a happy camper and even growled when Bruno and Kato came close to him.

For lunch I went to pick up Noah for a catch up with his college life. We went to Gyu Kaku and ordered way too much food. When I went to drop him off at his truck we ended up staying in my car for almost an hour singing and harmonizing. We’ve talked about making YouTube videos of us playing and singing but it hasn’t happened because life.

To celebrate National Taco day June and I went to get a couple of tacos from Taco Bell. Hmm, maybe I should use my crunchwrap recipe to make tacos next time. Who wants to join me?

I am stuffed. Good thing I’ll be walking off everything these next few days!

One of my friends reposted an article on Facebook, “Having Depression And Anxiety Means Having A Brain Constantly At War With Itself”. Click here for the article. It’s a quick read. The title grabbed my attention and it resonated a lot within me. I’ve never been to the doctor on this subject so I’ve never been diagnosed but it’s how I’ve felt my whole life. I have a few people like me in my life. They have loving significant others who are patient with them so it gives me hope that one day I’ll find my other half who’s the same. Or if I never find him, it’ll be okay, too.

Houston Restaurant Week (month) has started already and I’m already behind! But don’t fret! I already have three planned. I doubt I’ll have any more than that and I’m okay with it. After these meals, it’ll be tight spending before the Cousin’s Trip!
