Fall is in the air, the days are getting shorter, the new season of television programs are starting. This could mean only one thing—it's time to pull out the halloween decorations! I love Halloween more than any other holiday, including Christmas. I was so happy when manufacturers started creating cool outdoor decorations. While not as large as the Christmas collection, I have several boxes of Halloween things. I'm always looking for unique items to add to my spooky stash. I have to have this Ghost Tree Face. It glows in the dark and fastens to either side of an object to make the ghost appear to be moving through the object. How clever! There's another awesome decoration that you hang on a tree and it seems like a Witch's Face is emerging from it. That site has a lot of cute things I'd like to have.
Dad read my Post of Woe® from Sunday and insisted that he get me new glasses as a late birthday/early Christmas gift. Not only did it get me out of work (I'll post more about that joke later this evening), but now I CAN SEE!!!! Well, I will when my eyes get back to normal. They dialated them and the vision is still a bit fuzzy. You'd think in this day and age, they could dialate your eyeballs and not have it take hours for your eyes to return to normal.
They have a newer kind a lens out for people with astigmatism that corrects a problem I never noticed I had until I got home and looked through my old broken ones. With the older lenses, looking straight ahead your vision is clear, but the peripheral vision areas are blurry. Everything is clear with the new ones. Wow—I'm impressed.
The bad news is there is nothing that can be done about the floater in my left eyeball. I'll just have to live with it. The good news is, unless I get a whole bunch more, it's nothing serious.
Marcus and I were watching CSI: Miami tonight and in response to something he said, I went, "Yip, Yip, Yip, Yip." It sounded darned familiar and then it dawned on me: It was those silly aliens from Sesame Street. Isn't amazing how these things stick in your memory?
Speaking of television, I watched the premiere of The Class. Man, that show was dumb and I'll never waste precious time on that thing again. I didn't know the premise of the show before I watched. A guy wants to surprise his girlfriend on the 20th anniversary of their meeting (first day of 3rd grade) by having a party reuniting people from that class, even though none of them have ever kept in touch. LAME! Yeah, don't see this series running long term. I also can't believe The New Adventures of Old Christine is back. I recorded The Megan Mullaley show this afternoon. Not going to watch that again, either. Not entertaining at all. When in the hell does Medium come back?
Damn, this is becoming the dreaded Blog of Woe® again. I am so freaking down right now. I'm sick. I'm coughing . My throat hurts. I can't see well and have been getting terrible eye strain headaches since my glasses broke. I haven't had sex since March because I don't have the money to get my annual exam and pills and since I'm allergic to both spermicides and latex, that avenue is out. Not running the risk of conceiving a kid I don't want. I really don't want to go to this lame little contract job tomorrow. My despair and lack of cash is starting to wear on Marcus, as well. He won't admit it, but I can tell. I never heard back from the agency I contacted the other day about my depression. It's a good thing I'm not suicidal. I'll have to find another one, I guess. Story of my life, eh?
The good news is that we can probably find space for everything that we want to keep from storage. We still throw stuff away everytime we go over there. I haven't used anything from over there except the Christmas stuff since we moved here four years ago. There is a huge majority of stuff that hasn't been used since we moved out to Byers seven years ago. I'm glad I'm losing my attachment to all that junk. Who cares that I was voted most impoved sophomore at the music banquet back in 1982? If I don't, I seriously doubt that anybody else on this planet cares.
It struck me that I've really become detached from my past life. Things that used to be so important to me seem like they happened to someone else. It's sad. I wondered today if it is a side effect or coping mechanism I've developed because of the depression. Except for an occassional phone call with my one friend from college, I don't have any ties to anybody from the time I was born until I I met Dave, Mike and Marcus (except for my dad, that is). How weird and wrong is that? I'm pretty sure that I would've lost contact with Mike and Dave by now if they weren't friends of Marcus. I don't know why I can't/won't build lasting relationships with people.
