Day three, with a slight decline

[clevermanka]

When the post-op literature said "Fluctuating vision to be expected for the next three weeks" I didn't think it really meant that. Silly me. My vision is worse today. The halos and fuzziness are more pronounced than yesterday. And for the first time since I can remember, I see better out of my right eye than my left. Since my left eye is my dominant eye, this is making everything very strange and is throwing me off balance. Which, as most of you know, isn't hard to do.

I hope it at least evens out by tomorrow. I guess I'll go back and read the list of post-operative effects a little more carefully. I think driving might be out of the question today. I'm glad I ran most of my errands yesterday, but I still need to purchase some flash tape for the costume. Crucial!

Speaking of which, mckitterick gave it (the costume, not the flash tape) a thumbs-up when I tried it on sans makeup last night. It looks...okay. I hope adding the face will punch it up to where I want it to be. I don't know what else to add, and I can't afford to put any more money into it. It's not like I'm out to win a prize or anything. Not like there are any to be won. I just want to make it look as good as I can. There's no joy for me in wearing a half-assed costume.

Someone in the house was grousing about me making bacon yesterday afternoon because it would heat up the house during the already hottest part of the day. So I said I'd put it off until this morning. And now the bacon is done and someone is still sleeping. Guess who might be out of luck for bacon-eating by the time he wakes up.

How soon do you need the flash tape and who stocks it?

Chris promised to run me out to Hancock's today, but if you have time early this afternoon (or during your lunch) and want to take me out there, it'd be great to see you!

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Well, that probably won't work, if it were downtown, where I'll be for an hour this morning I could grab it, but I don't have enough time to go out to Hancock's as well.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

No problem! Chris will be able to take me.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Alrighty!

Oh! If you want to borrow any of my gear jewelry, let me know!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Hm! There's a thought. I was trying to stay away from an overt use of gears, but I do need a little more metal bling. I'm not sure I'll have a chance to make it over to your place to get it, though.

[miischelle.livejournal.com]

When will you be at the Convention? I could meet you up during my daily wanderings - or if you did have time, leave stuff in my mailbox for you to pick up.

There's the gear necklace with the teeth on it....not sure what else but I can dig...

We have to be at the Hyatt no later than 4:00 p.m. tomorrow since Chris has a reading to do. Knowing the way things go when we're trying to leave town, I can't make plans to swing by your house on the way. Sorry!

If you want to swing by the hotel anytime after 4:30 on Sunday, or before 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, let me know. If not, it's certainly not the end of the world.

I <3 that tooth necklace. Not sure how well the pearls will work with the rest of the ensemble, though. It's a little more hard-edge.

I'm going to Penzey's today, and plan on dropping off your goods tonight after 6:00pm so I can come childless.

Would you like me to bring the tape as well?

Also, what is the best time so I don't interrupt dinner. I neglected to ask Chris that question.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I've got nebulous plans with friends for this evening, so let me check with them to see what time they want to get together and I'll get back with you.

One way or another, I think I already have the tape situation figured out, but thank you for the offer!

[stuology.livejournal.com]

Yup. I made plans to come in the evening so I can get my camera body from Chris. If nobody is home, I'll just drop the spice goodies in the mailbox.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Okay!

Let me know the total I owe, too.

Serves him right for grousing. Bacon always takes top priority.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

For. Real.

And he did wake up. He called down from the bedroom, "Ah! A smell to rouse the dead!"

I took him a couple of pieces which he ate in bed, then he went back to sleep.

If that isn't love, I really don't know what is.

[zhukora1.livejournal.com]

Well, I for one think that gives you carte blanche to eat the remainder of the bacon. ;)

Yes.

And grousing about bacon being made is just Wrong.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Of course you understand. *nods*

[annamatic.livejournal.com]

Win.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I didn't even bother with the bread! =D
