11:58 am - F.Y.I.
So, I'm ba-ack! Finally! Thanks for all your good wishes and positive thoughts - I really did appreciate them.

I'm going to work, now, on catching up, but at skip=gazillion...it's going to take a while. I'll try to hit the high spots, but if there's something specific you'd like me to see/read, please let me know.

*hugs you all tight*

current mood: relieved

11:21 am - Somebody just kill me now...
Just thought I'd let anyone interested know that - if I haven't responded or commented someplace that you thought I would, or read something you thought that I would - I can barely see.

Monday, I noticed an irritation in my right eye (my reading eye).

Tuesday, I was trying to pay bills and realized that I couldn't see well enough to get it done.

Wednesday, bright and early, I saw my ophthalmologist, because I was having so much trouble with my right eye (pain, irritation, tearing, blurred vision, extremely light sensitive) and I was afraid that somehow I'd damaged it with all the mess at the house. :(  Turns out that my cornea is very swollen, but I didn't have anything actually in my eye and the cornea wasn't cut or torn, which is good, and no infection...also good. He compared the state of my cornea to having a badly scraped knee. :(

I'm doing steroid drops now, which make my vision even more blurred, but I still have pain, blurring, tearing and light sensitivity. I'm wearing sunglasses practically 24/7. I'm not allowed to read and/or be on the computer. Of course, I have been cheating a little but not much at all because...it hurts.

So, one more pathetic little story from me, and this one really hits me hard.  I can't read! I'M IN HELL!!!  *headdesk*

current mood: frustrated

4:29 am - Tagged! Beware of meme...seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
I actually got tagged not once, but twice - realpestilence and firestar28 both tagged me on this meme. *eyes them* Three other friends have also done this meme since then, so I guess that there's a trend. *g* I wasn't able to answer the tag right away due to RL issues, but I promised that I would when I could...so...here goes nothing. *LOL*

More than you probably want to know behind this cut. *g* )

current mood: tired
current music: the Stones

5:19 pm - My baby girl
A RL friend of mine took pictures of my cat, Garnet, last night with her digital camera and mailed them to me today. I made an icon with one of them, and I uploaded one other pic to LJ. I thought I'd go ahead and post here so that you could look if you want to. Please don't feel obligated. *LOL* This is my baby girl. *pets her*

current mood: cheerful

10:51 am - Another update (or: Deconstructing our house)
We finally had an insurance adjuster show up this past Monday. She came through our (formerly beautiful) basement and measured, took notes, asked questions, etc., and then she went out to her car and wrote up a partial estimate. More behind the cut... )

current mood: slightly optimistic

So, I thought I'd update my tale of woe. Basically? We're screwed. *sigh* More here.  )

9:47 pm - Water in bad places. *woe*
I'd like to thank everyone who has posted fic and pretties today, and especially sheafrotherdon, on LJ, for starting the Festival of Bellies where so many talented people are participating. At this point, taking short fic-reading breaks is pretty much the only thing keeping me sane. *sigh* My husband woke me at six thirty this morning to share the news that our basement had flooded. My full tale of woe is here.  )

current mood: gloomy

10:56 am - Just in case...
So, yes...I decided to get myself an Insane Journal - just in case. Of course, it's just a bonus that I snagged my own name to protect it. Heh.

current mood: cynical
