Girls that Wear Glasses and other Kernyen News

Last Friday I went to a specialist of the cornea that my opthamologist referred me to and it would seem that my eyes need a break from wearing contact lens for about 2 months (maybe more). The ulcer on my right eye is healing, but my corneas have some wear and tear on them from wearing contact lenses too much.

So now I am wearing my glasses full time and I can't wear makeup until my ulcer heals completely.

I was never one of those girls that did the natural look so I am feeling a little plain without my makeup (okay a lot plain).

In other Kernyen news, I spent the day with mom, Mari and Arron. Mom fixed this sea food dish that was spectacular! And the girls brought over a banana cream pie and a peach pie - very delicious.

Tomorrow another week begins. My boss is out for a week on vacation - yay! But I have a two-day face-to-face (FTF) meeting, but other than that it should be an easy week. It's the following week that will be pretty full; I have my admin team FTF followed by my boss's 2-day FTF staff meeting. Then we have a quarterly event (team building). However, I may not get to attend any of it if I have to go to court for jury duty.

Lord I can't wait for my sabbatical!

Ode to a Beachball

Today is one of pain on this
beautiful day of fall
For I feel all swollen and buoyant
like a round fat beachball

This ode is really for me,
the Beachball with Lips
I hate the cramps, the bad mood
and how nothing seems to fit

Ode to the beachball,
the one with lips

Keeping Busy

Today is another day filled with activity as I prepare for the visit of the Boyfriend ;o) You know how it is...cleaning the apartment so that it is ever so sparkling clean, which means actually doing spring cleaning early. I hauled away two huge black plastic garbage bags of clothes to Goodwill. I threw away a ton of stuff in the garbage. I even moved a few things around and I must say that my apartment looks pretty darned great. Okay, maybe not great, but very good. How's that? Ha.

Today I have to take my sister to the airport where she is headed to Texas to visit with her partner. She plans on staying there for ten days.

Featuring a Glass of Whine with Karen

Last night as I was unpacking purchases from WallyMart, I noticed a couple of boxes of hair color and some shiny hair crap. I'm like, "WTH?!" I turned to Kim and asked her if these were her's. She said, "Nope." So I grabbed my receipt and sure enough found out that I was charged for this stuff. So now part of today's errands is going back to WallyMart and returning the crap.

It's rainy and windy out. I enjoy the rain so long as it doesn't rain past two days - ha. We're going on our third day here, so yes, read while I whine.

I detest slanted rain. What about my hair and my makeup?? All go to hell in hand basket <-- where did that saying come from anyhow? Anyone know, wanna share? Thx.

I'm finished whining.

Later!
