Thanks for the birthday and get well wishes I got over the past few weeks. Feels good to be loved!

Things have been looking up lately, I find myself out of the depression funk I was some time ago. An imminent trip to Italy, the baptism of DeeVa, getting to hang out with my boyfriend for a whole lazy day and the probability that this will be available for the general public to apply in December have lifted my spirits considerably.

The baptism of DeeVa, my goddaughter, went smoothly. It was the first time I carried her in my arms, since I am paranoid that I will let her fall/ my skinny unpadded arms are too uncomfortable for babies to sleep on/ getting imaginary germs on delicate constitutions. She was a real trooper and did not cry more than usual while I held her. It seems to me that she is getting the hang on living quickly and has decided that it is her minions' duty to tend to her every need and whim. NOW! Oh, dear!

People:

If you haven't seen me around for a while it is because I got a recurrence of what happened on August 12. At least this time it was early morning of a week day. Went to the coolest eye doctor I have ever visited and she still cannot make a diagnosis. Until now she has narrowed it to one of two things:

1. Map Dot Fingerprint or Cogan's distrophy
2. A Dendritic Ulcer

What this means to me? I still don't know. I am suffering from terrible eye pain. Being a pirate with a patch for two days grows old really quickly. It WAS my good eye, damn it. Limited driving during ungodly hours of the morning and need to be in bed most of the time because having one eye open makes the closed one force itself open under the patch, causing more pain and damage. So there you go.
