After 16 or so years of contact lenses and glasses, I can freakin' see! Went under the lasers yesterday morning, compliments of my company's flex spending account that will slowly bleed me dry one paycheck at a time, but that's alright...'cause I can freakin' see!
The laser shootin' was the easy part. Now the part where I stick to giving myself 4 different drops 4 times a day over the next month while also remembering not to rub my eyes begins. Kind of scary knowing that one lapse in memory involving a sleepy eye rubbing can mess everything up, but I've been pretty good so far. Being paranoid helps a bit.
So...what else has been going on?
Not a whole lot, really. Finally the summer rains subsided and dried out and we've been burning like crazy. We brought on two new seasonal crew members (who are both amazing) as well as another full time employee who is temporarily living with me. Moving into the middle of January we'll be burning up a storm if the weather continues to cooperate.
Christmas in Atlanta was fun. A long drive both ways, but I enjoy driving and it let me get away without any time constraints or worrying about my sinuses exploding on the return trip as they nearly did last year. I found out the hard way that time that a week of allergy madness just doesn't mix with air travel.
Spent New Years up on a National Wildlife Refuge northwest of Austin of a pile of friends. I think sleeping outside under the stars on New Years and waking up next to what was left of a fire is about the most amazing way I've ever spent the holiday and one I definitely hope to repeat. It was a chilly 20 degrees upon waking, but I was well insulated and loved every second of it.
Can't say I really have much more to share at the moment. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that you aren't too upset about getting back to work!
It's in the balmy mid-70s this week down here, so don't hesitate to ring me up for a visit if you need to thaw out a bit.

Sounds like you had an exciting New Years! Don't think anyone can top that...
Congrats on the LASERing. I am blind, yet too scared to get Lasix. Everyone who has gotten it has no regrets.
FINALLY you updated.
70 degrees. You suck.
Amie
Not quite 70 degrees. Closer to 78 this afternoon, but who's counting?
Never worried about the procedure, only about me keeping up with post-op drops and all. Doing ok so far and loving it!!!
OK 78. You suck worse.
Thanks for rubbing it in.
Now don't rub your eyes.
Okay....again I am going to add my prediction about "What Jason will probably do" segment in the comment section because it seems that it is needed everytime you post. So here it goes....
You are going to forget one day in the future and then realize it later that day. You will freak out and try to remember when you get home and forget again OR when you finally find the drops after losing them for a day or so quickly put them in. In the end NO blindness because you didn't need to keep putting them in any more!! tee hee
Let me know how it goes!! Luv ya Jason!!! ;)
What's up miss "I have a new blog but don't let people comment on it?"
I'm happy to hear that you have such astounding faith in me! hehe...
Okay, so give me a break...I am trying to figure it all out!! Give the new blogger a chance....plus I am not sure what button fixes that one, so I guess I will have to wait for my geeky husband to get home to help me out! :)
