Watching: So there's this fun show on Netflix called Ultimate Beastmaster, and if you're feeling pretty good about your physical fitness level, I'd recommend watching this show for a dose of humility. Or for a dose of motivation, either one.
Listening to: Not Christmas music. I am officially burned out on Christmas music.
Wearing: Pajamas, because it's 7pm and I'm certainly not leaving the house again at this ungodly hour.
Smelling: Not a whole lot at the moment, thanks to a lovely cold I managed to catch while in Seattle for Christmas. Sniff, cough.
Eating: Only healthy foods because holy moly did I NOT watch what I ate the last month, and my non-shrinking waistline is evidence of that.
Loving: The new Polaroid photo printer Isaiah got me for Christmas. It connects via Bluetooth to my iPhone and I can print little 2x3" photos anytime, anywhere. So far, yes - they've all been of Imogen. But it was so fun to be able to print a couple of photos for my mom on Christmas. We also drove down to see Isaiah's grandpa in Oregon right after Christmas, and we had the waitress at the restaurant take a group photo of all of us - and I was able to print him a picture right there on the spot, which he loved.
Annoyed with: Amazon. For the last month, I haven't been able to upgrade a single item to expedited shipping. If I don't expedite things, I'm lucky if they arrive in less than two weeks. I finally hopped onto their chat support today to find out if they've changed something about their Alaska shipping policies and got a non-answer from someone named Vinayak. So yeah.
Wanting: Sleep, and lots of it.
Laughing at: Every single article on the Babylon Bee. It's the Christian version of The Onion, and every time I read one of their articles I laugh so hard I almost cry. This one poking fun at essential oils had me rolling. I also cannot stop looking at this screenshot of Imogen eating sweet potato puree for the first time. Her face...
Feeling: Tired. It's hard enough being sick without a kid, but it's ten times harder when all you want to do is take a double dose of Nyquil and go to bed at 4pm but you can't because, like, you still have to feed and play with your baby for another few hours.
Thankful for: SCIENCE. I haven't talked much about it (first because I wasn't sure I was actually going to get it, and second because I wanted to see my final results) but I got LASIK surgery while we were in Washington. For the first time since kindergarten, I can see without glasses or contacts. It's honestly bizarre (but amazing) and I'm still getting used to it, and also pushing up phantom glasses about every 5 minutes all day long.
I go in spurts with books as well. I recently figured out renting audiobooks from the library on my phone thinking I would "read" all the time. Nope.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear glasses but I can imagine being without them after being so used to them is an (awesome) adjustment!
I accidently fell asleep in my contacts a few nights ago. That's NEVER happened so I was really confused when I woke up in the morning and could see everything so well without putting my glasses on. It was like a miracle occurred overnight. Then I realized it was because I left my contacts in but still. For those few seconds I experienced seeing well the second I open my eyes! Was it weird having the surgery? I've thought about having it but not looked into it much.
ReplyDeleteOk, I need to know what printer you have because I WANT THAT SO BAD. But I'm afraid I might start wallpapering the house in Gracie pictures. But is that bad?
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!!! Colds SUCK.
If it makes you feel better, I ordered a phone case from Amazon a week ago with Prime, so I should've had it two days later. A week later and IT STILL HAS NOT SHIPPED. What the heck! The same thing happened to James with something else he ordered.
I'm so glad you were able to get Lasik! That's amazing. I want to do it so bad someday. Being able to see first thing in the morning? I can't even fathom.
Wahoo! Yay for LASIK! I am so happy that you got it done. :) Here is to a new lease on life!
ReplyDeleteThat printer sounds so super cool!
ReplyDeleteI seriously considered Lasik when we were living in MI and even went for the assessment appointment, but never committed. I always hear such good things from everyone who's had it. I'm lucky though that I can get away with not wearing glasses as long as I'm not driving or needing to see or read far away things, so at least if I want the no glasses look, I'm safe enough walking around slightly blind. But being able to see clearly from your own two eyes? Sounds like magic.
I'm with everyone else. Tell me all about that printer. It sounds amazing! I'm terrible at printing off pictures of my kids.
ReplyDeleteI've been so wrapped up in our chaos I forgot to ask how the surgery went. I'm so glad you're happy with it!! Do you have 20/20 vision now?
