A nurse stood behind me to help hold my head still, but I was told I was very good about not moving. I was staring down the barrel of a laser that was going to preserve my eyesight. Frozen as a terrified baby fawn under a bush, doc, you do your job, I'll do mine.

Sounds unpleasant, Connie. I hope you won't have to undergo too many treatments.
Calli, any time I start to work out I am starving all the time ridiculously. Even if I just went to an extra yoga class or something.Not just me, then? Well, that's reassuring. Thanks!
Tomorrow I'm off to a family event in MI. My nephew's getting married this weekend. His fiance is delightful--I'm so glad she's joining the family.

Okay, phone call of the day! Colleague (male) in call center: "The patron wants to speak to a woman because she wants your opinion on some wigs and hairstyles." Me: "Okay, I am a woman..." Caller: "I wanted a lady's opinion on two separate wigs." So she told me how to find images online and I looked and gave her my opinion.

I'm going to take a stand against getting anythinged in the eye. Especially without valium.
Right there with you, but substitute chloroform for valium. I'd wear Mr. Magoo glasses that could stop a bullet before letting someone perform surgery on my eyes.

Lemme tell ya, eye surgery is not fun. And they DID give me valium. And eventually I made them give me something more (fentanyl, I think?) because I was like "yeah, my anxiety is ratcheting up the closer we get to the surgery and it's burning that valium right off..."
Flea, that's pretty funny! :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love that!

I think I would love flea's job! My dream job is to just sit somewhere and have people ask me questions and I could give my opinion or research them.
