I ended up having a productive day! And I still have a few more hours to go. After my walk this morning I went for my cup of coffee and drove to the bank and read a book while I waited for the bank to open. Once I took care of that I went back to the house and straightened my room (while watching Grosse Pointe Blank), went through the pictures of the morning, cleaned my bathroom, organized my online album for an approaching update, took a nap, input some of my tax info into TurboTax (which was a bit depressing), watched Man Vs. Wild while I ate dinner (which is a great show! But that guy drinks elephant dung! Eww/awesome! haha) and now I’m updating my blog. It’s been an awesome, relaxing day!
So updates… short, sweet, to the point… There is only one because I'm not really in the mood to write. hehe
Contacts – My optometrist told me not to give up on my contacts, which I pretty much had by the time I had my follow-up appointment. He decided to try a couple other types of contacts. And I put the one pair in and was blown away by the difference! I mean they still dry out but not nearly as bad and my eyes don’t hurt! This current pair is what I expected getting used to wearing contacts would be! But there are still some issues and he gave me two types to try so this next week I plan on trying them.
And here are more pictures… But this time I put them in sets rather then chronological.
Sunrise set
Scenic
Um... Not sure what to label these... Light and a Bush
Focus, lines, textures, etc.
I took an exploration walk on Christmas Day and saw some beauty in the desert. So I went back out January 15th and took the pics below.

Colorado - I am heading to the airport for my flight to Colorado here in a bit. I’m definitely excited! I am not sure if I will have time to post while I’m out there but I will of course be taking LOTS of pictures, whether Joey and Jason are ready or not! Hehe It will take me a bit to get them uploaded but I will most likely post a few of my favorites at least.
I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. I went to bed after 1:00 am or so and got up at 5:30 am. My dad took me to work this morning with him and is planning on picking me up at 2:00pm to head over to a Starbucks and then over to Ontario Airport. My flight leaves at 5:00 pm and I should arrive in Denver after 8:00 pm.
Contacts - I’ve attempted my contacts and suffer through the time that I’m supposed to keep them on each day. I decided not to take them with me on this trip just because I want to enjoy looking around without having to deal with the annoyance of getting used to the strain of wearing contacts. Yesterday I had worked up to 9 hours and finally took my contacts out my eyes were completely bloodshot and burning. Is it really worth it? I am starting not to think so.
Dentist - I had my dentist appointment and didn’t get scolded for not getting my broken fillings replaced… at least not as much as I expected. She said there wasn’t any bone decay and that I was lucky. But the concern now is my compacted wisdom teeth causing damage to my other back teeth. So she’s recommending extractions. Happy… happy… joy… joy… Another bummer is that she doesn’t think she can cap my chipped tooth in the front because it’s so smoothed out from wear and tear she doesn’t think it will stay. So I was kind of disappointed about that. But I guess it gives me character! Hehe
PHS to 30-Something - I had a meeting with Drew and Heather about the next step for our Post High School to 30-Something Group. I am excited about the ideas and we are definitely going out for another “Free Hugs” event! It will probably be the weekend of Valentines Day. We have something else in the works but it’s too early to tell how to work out the logistics of it all (I remembered the right word Drew! Hehe).
Well I think this is the best I can do for an update for now. I need to get ready to head out.
