The day after Christmas usually feels like a letdown, after all the buildup from the holiday season. This year it feels like a relief. Relief from all the pressure that was building up and pressing down on me. Of course, I let it get to me, but it still felt like more than usual. So, relief. We have a little cleaning up to do and...

Glad your Christmas was enjoyable. (Parents can always be a little awkward - I feel very fortunate that both mine and my in-laws are pretty good company. Although not, I should add, together. :D) Much love to you and yours too. Here's hoping that the New Year will be a good one for you!

I just ate a bunch of caramel corn and my tummy is upset now. That'll teach me moderation!

Christmas shopping today with my lovely Karen. Having worked retail in my past makes me really dislike Christmas shopping in general. Also, my developing social anxiety makes it a sort of grinding hell. But it's fun to do stuff with Karen. We will see which wins out today. They really need a set of emojis here so I can post an eye roll.

As expected,...

I think the closest emoji is this one, @schiavona: 🙄 lol! Happy holidays! 🎄

Woot! It's my favorite day of the year! Friday the 13th, and a Full Moon! This is my good luck/happy day every time it happens. I know part of it is just mental, but another part is that things are just more positive for me on this day. Maybe it's all just my positive attitude, but I don't think so. And if it is, please...

I still have floaters in my eyes after the latest round of lasers on my eyes to try and clear up the film that is making the cataract surgery a failure. Ugh. This time it was 220 laser hits on my right eye and 140 on my left. Hopefully this time it will take care of the issue and I will have clear visions. If...

It must be a cute scene, haha!

@felicity It is cute.  I keep waiting for her to get annoyed with yawning so much, but it doesn't seem to bother her.

Turns out Phryne is a lefty. She eats left handed. She also has a strong preference to be scritched using my left hand. Right hand gets bitten, hard. left gets playful nibbles and she is clearly more relaxed. If it works, I'll just go with it. It's less painful this way.

Here's some Phryne pics:

It's been so long since I've posted. Not too much has changed. Just went through another round of laser treatment with my eyes to try and clear them up after my cataract surgery. Karen went with me this time and she lowered some boom on the doctor and his fellow. Hopefully in a few days I will see better??? Hopefully. I've missed talking to you...

It's good to see you, and I hope your eyes can be better soon ;)

Thanks @felicity.  I've been pretty absent, but am trying to get back up here.  Good to see you too!

I'm tired. Not just I-had-a-rough-night-and-I'm-a-little-sleepy tired, but bone deep exhausted. I sleep all night, then wake up tired. Take a nap, wake up tired. I don't know if I'm tired of life, or just tired.

I just don't know.

I'm just...done.

olgakulaga:
Stay strong
felicity:
I have the same sensation here :(

Hey there, peeps. Long time. I was suffering through a long downturn, some days even preventing me from getting out of bed. But I’m doing better now. For now. Meds I was taking for my psoriasis really screwed with my mental health for two weeks. Luckily it has a really short half-life, so when I stopped taking it, I only had to wait 48 hours...

It's good to know you're feeling better :)
