Lasik

My girl.... let's give her a name shall we? I don't own her, I probably shouldn't say "my girl" now should I? Let's call her Christy.

Anyway, Christy had lasik done yesterday. She called me and said it was pretty irritated before going to bed. I had heard it feels like a small rock is in your eyes. But it should only last for a few of the first hours and it should be ok today when she wakes up. I hope so. I worry for her.

I've always wanted Lasik too. I think I may have planned for it this year had it not been such dramatic turn of events lately. As it stands, once everything is in a better routine, perhaps I may consider getting that done maybe in a year or two. I want braces too. Somehow I got these huge mutant teeth that are half the size of my head and they are all crowded up front... damn mutant choppers.

Braces?! At my age? Well... I figure I got perhaps 40, 50, years ahead of me right? I guess it doesn't hurt having it fixed now. Better late then never right?

Braces and Lasik.... should put me about $6k under. OUCH! But I look at it like this... for half the price of a car, I'll be fixing my life in a permanent way. A car depreciates.

Work is going ok... had some lumps to iron out with my former company. I mean, I like them and all...but not everything is eye to eye. There were a few policy things I never agreed with for a few years into it. Perhaps it was just me rejecting leadership? I don't know. Don't care at this point. Just gotta look forward!

Work pace is ok. Although I have to find ways to avoid distraction. If it's not coming from TV, it's easy to loose focus as soon as I get a phone call or IM from someone. Comes with the territory, I'm not surprised there.

What is a little difficult to work around is when I'm somehow asked to do favors for friends and family during the day. Somehow self-employment seems to register as "Raph has a lot of time now". I guess it's understandable...my time IS more flexible now. But it's a hard balance....I WANT to do things with friends and have fun. I mean, that's the whole FUN part about working for myself. But on the other hand, I have to discipline myself not to fun when I can't afford to don't I? UGH.

I think I'm getting it worked out though.... I take whatever time I need to do fun things with friends and family. But I spend almost any other time I can grab working. Nights, weekends, mornings. BAH.... I hope I get a good routine worked out eventually. People tell me it should get easier.

Never really put my logo up anywhere...I suppose I should eventually.
