We have been getting back into the routine of school and not having visitors. Adam has been so sensitive lately. I can't even take a shower without him getting upset about it - and we don't know why! He will be playing outside and in the faint distance you can hear a lawnmower, and it makes him scream! Even the birds are getting under his skin! I hope this is a short lived phase because it is driving me crazy. I feel like it's already been slightly better this past week than it was, so maybe he is getting over it. He did have a cold for a while that just sort of hung around, so maybe it was bothering him more than I thought.
Nathan has been asserting his independence quite forcefully lately! He wants to buckle himself into his car seat! When he can actually do this quickly on his own, it will be nice, but for now, it just really slows me down:-S. "No I will do it" are words we are hearing all day long with him! He is becoming more and more grown up in the things he can do, and just in the way he talks to me. I asked him about his dream the other day, and he was able to describe it to me in pretty good detail! He comprehends so much now!
What else is new . . . oh yeah, I CAN SEE!! I got LASIK down yesterday and for the first time in 27+ years, I can see without any visual aids:D. It seems a bit out of the blue since I didn't really talk about it much before I had it done, but this is something that has been a long time coming for me. 10 years ago, I had a check done at the Gimbel Eye Center in Calgary, and at that time, I was not a good candidate for LASIK. I could have done PRK, but they said that it might affect my night vision because of the size of my pupils. I decided it wasn't worth the risk and went on with my life. Well, just over a month ago, I heard an ad on the radio and thought, maybe technology has changed and I AM a candidate now! So I went for a check a few weeks ago and sure enough, they said I was a great candidate! I knew I wanted to do it as soon as they told me I could (and that with the new technology, I wasn't even high risk). So yesterday afternoon I went in and had it done! It was an odd experience. You spend most of your time just waiting for your turn, but when it is your turn, you're in the OR for like 5-7 minutes and then you go home. First they made the cut (which was really the most painful part and it wasn't that bad) - that took about 20 seconds per eye. Then they moved me to the reshaping laser (I got the WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser in case anyone is interested) and that was 15 seconds per eye, and then I was done! I was pretty sore yesterday, I just laid in bed the whole rest of the day and tried not to open my eyes. I had my check this morning and they told me everything looks good, my vision is 20/15! I feel like my right eye is still a bit foggy, but I am hoping that will clear up in the next few days (everything was very foggy yesterday). Even if my right eye doesn't improve at all, my vision is still fantastic and I would do it again! It hasn't sunk in that I will not be wearing glasses or contacts again . . . pretty exciting:).
Brian is going to Calgary on Friday to check on the house and see what needs to be done before it goes up for sale. The insurance stuff is all still in the works, hopefully early next week we will get the go ahead from insurance that the contractor can start the work (I am hoping he can do most of it while Brian is there, that would make it easier for everyone). I am so anxious to get rid of the ball and chain that is this house. Just this week again, the contractor told me we had to get a plumber in because there was still a leak in the sink! So I had to try and get in touch with the property management company to get a plumber out, and they couldn't get a hold of the tenant to get in to do it right away, blah blah - such a stressful thing! It did get fixed thank goodness, but how I hate having to rely on other people to do what needs to be done in my house. Less than a week and it will be back in our possession!! I am just praying that it's in good shape otherwise and can go on the market as soon as the insurance work is done. Let's just say there will be a celebration when that house is sold!!
