kyburgAnd I got my eye exam. Boy, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitty_minako, I feel your pain. I did. Really.
This is not the refraction/exam by the opthomologist. No, this is the exam by a retinal specialist and he uses the BIG drops.
Fuck. I couldn't see shit, and was photosensitive at 9:00 PM when my appointment was at 8:45 AM that morning. And the guy wanted to see EVERYTHING with a bright light and ... ow.
However, I'm healthy and nothing to worry about. That's good. But, if I was to suffer a detached retina, there is little...no scratch that, NOTHING I can do to prevent it. With two people with significant retinal disease in my immediate family, the risk gets no higher for me.
But I've been under observation much longer than either of them. So there. Nyah.
Work is heating up - finally - but in a fashion one never likes. Blaming. A new support ticket tracking system was installed while I was on vacation, and gee whiz - not enough licenses were bought. So I have been logging my work under someone else's name. Lovely. That's foresight for you.
It'll improve. We're too cool not to.
Have been having the most kicking sunsets lately, though. The sky turns red, and orange and gold - vibrant, livid colors...while the ocean turns the most lambient green...mirror-like, willow-green, perhaps a shade lighter. Like that green flash I keep hearing about, perhaps. Wish I had a camera - it's incredible.
Thanksgiving is getting underway - Christmas. Oy. Haven't a clue how that is going to play yet -
But, back to work. Yup!
(I also gained weight coming back from Hawaii - go figure. So, back to watching everything again. I need to get to the gym.)
