Bit of a sad day...

Today is the final day I will ever wear contacts again -- or so I hope. The surgery is planned for December 21 and I don't intend on ever putting little round thingies (technical term) onto my eyeballs anymore. I received my first pair of glasses when I was ten and started wearing contacts when I was thirteen, and while it hasn't been a huge chore, it has been a necessary evil of daily life. Glasses for three weeks straight? I'll figure a way to manage.

It's amazing...

how you can revisit a venue under different circumstances and the place can look completely different and virtually unrecognizable unless you think back to said previous circumstances. I'm sitting in a Starbucks right now and the only other times I've been here is the day of the Turkey Trot when the joint is filled to overflowing capacity with runners. Now, there are only six of us and the atmosphere has entirely changed.

The only time...

getting up at 440am is remotely enjoyable is when you have a race, a vacation, or something else exciting to take your mind off the fact you're waking at an obnoxious and obscene hour. I need more coffee.

Just finished up...

at the eye doctor as I prepare for some LASIK surgery next month. The technology is absolutely fascinating with regards to the intensely accurate topography presented and the details offered from each of the tests and scans. Nervous? Without question. Ready to wake up and not look for contacts or glasses? Um hello?!

61 degrees,...

crystal clear skies, and an absolutely gorgeous morning!

Another disgusting example...

of this government wasting taxpayer's money and not providing proper oversight on construction projects meant to better the circumstances overseas. Sad and pathetic.

Just watch...

the video, and then carefully examine what exactly you want this country to become.
