I decided not to get the progressive lenses (aka bifocals). At least not yet. Instead I got a new pair of glasses and a pair of glasses to use for reading and computer work. Hopefully that will work for me.
Imagine my luck to show up for a special two-day event featuring designer [...]

Eye exam today.
Exactly how do progressive lenses differ from bifocals?
Sigh.
At least I found some frames with inlay in my signature blue.

My forecast for today:
No Sharp Objects Allowed
This particular astrological time period should come with a mandatory warning label to be worn by the temporary purveyor of said energy until the effects have passed. What might that label read? ‘For your own safety, avoid irritating me — and if you do, hide the scissors.’

This song was stuck in my head all day today. ALL day.
I’ve been trying to figure out why I am so drawn to Damien Rice and his music. I think it is because when he sings, it is all shadow. And that touches me. Damien Rice sings to my Shadow. [...]

Today I am reminded of something my friend Ipsissimus said to me last fall:

And to think that I was afraid Lily was too small. She is tiny, weighing a little more than a pound. She just doesn’t act small.
She chases Jezzie around the living room and plays with her. She grabs her toys, growls and shakes them. She barks when she gets frustrated. [...]

Lily has been waking up every two hours the past couple of nights. I feel like there is a newborn baby in the house. This sleep deprivation is hard to deal with. I try to caffeinate myself. Then take naps when I can. But still. It’s causing me to [...]

Lily is home now. Jezzie is curious about her. I think they’re going to get along very well. They are sisters, after all.

Monday night I received a swift kick to my sense of self-worth that lasted through my dangerous day. Tuesday, my friends Ipsissimus and MandoMama each received swift kicks. And Wednesday, my friend Shadow received not one but two.
What the hell is going on? I am about to don my battle gear and [...]

Since it is not often that I wake up with the urge to seriously maim someone, I realize that I am in full-blown PMS mode. I have a head cold that is making the room jerk. My eyes aren’t acting right. I want to take some decongestants but worry that they will [...]

Maybe it is time for the court jester to rule the kingdom.

Here’s Lily, sitting in my mom’s hands. Lily comes home next week, when she’s 7 weeks old.

The other day I read an email that set off a little bomb inside my head. I jumped someone about it, not the person who wrote the email, and fired questions one after the other. Fortunately for him and our friendship I was able to catch myself and stop. I apologized on [...]
