peaks and valleys
warning: no knitting content follows.
I had the protective contact lens thingy taken out of HE2 today, and omfg, it hurt. I'd forgotten how much it hurt the first time. I spent a lot of today sitting down suddenly and sticking my head between my knees to keep from barfing from pain.
However, I had a good day overall. I loafed around the Stanford Mall for a couple of hours between my eye doctor visit and my hair appointment. I'm not a big fan of malls (or "mauls", as we like to call them), but the Stanford Mall is really nice. There are great stores and it's beautifully landscaped (my god, the dahlias are breathtaking right now) and (yes, I'm a snob) most of the people shopping there are dressed nicely and smell good. I tried on some fun stuff and bought some stuff, and I got my hair done, and it looks great. I had Raul give me a new late summer-early autumn darker color, and let him give me highlights, which he always wants to do, but I always resist. They look great, if I do say so myself. Then I trucked down to Lavande at Santana Row (another really nice outdoor mall) and had my eyebrows cleaned up since I can no longer see well enough up close to do it myself.
I talked on the phone a lot, and read some books at the bookstore, and between flashes of excruciating pain, had a pretty nice day.
Yesterday was good, too. Rob and I went over to Bob and Sharon's and went swimming and had drinkies and pizza and lots of fun, as one always does when visiting the Colliers.

Saw Boob's, er Bob's photos of your time over there. Your princess shirt is fabulous and I have to say that was a pretty good boob shot too. Hope the HE2 stops hurting soon!

Oh I feel your pain, eye pain is the worst. Last year Abner scratched my retina, I thought the world would end. I'm sure it's nothing compare to what you're going through. Hope the pain subsides soon.

Erin provided pics of her new do, what's the deal? We want pics! :-)
I sure hope your pain has subsided. Does this mean you're without glasses completely now?

I failed parlously to get photos of my new 'do. Sorry, girls. :)
