I just ate a bunch of caramel corn and my tummy is upset now. That'll teach me moderation!

Christmas shopping today with my lovely Karen. Having worked retail in my past makes me really dislike Christmas shopping in general. Also, my developing social anxiety makes it a sort of grinding hell. But it's fun to do stuff with Karen. We will see which wins out today. They really need a set of emojis here so I can post an eye roll.

As expected,...

dhyani:
I think the closest emoji is this one, @schiavona: 🙄 lol! Happy holidays! 🎄
schiavona:
@dhyani Happy Holidays to you as well!

Woot! It's my favorite day of the year! Friday the 13th, and a Full Moon! This is my good luck/happy day every time it happens. I know part of it is just mental, but another part is that things are just more positive for me on this day. Maybe it's all just my positive attitude, but I don't think so. And if it is, please...

I still have floaters in my eyes after the latest round of lasers on my eyes to try and clear up the film that is making the cataract surgery a failure. Ugh. This time it was 220 laser hits on my right eye and 140 on my left. Hopefully this time it will take care of the issue and I will have clear visions. If...

It must be a cute scene, haha!

@felicity It is cute.  I keep waiting for her to get annoyed with yawning so much, but it doesn't seem to bother her.

Turns out Phryne is a lefty. She eats left handed. She also has a strong preference to be scritched using my left hand. Right hand gets bitten, hard. left gets playful nibbles and she is clearly more relaxed. If it works, I'll just go with it. It's less painful this way.

Here's some Phryne pics:

It's been so long since I've posted. Not too much has changed. Just went through another round of laser treatment with my eyes to try and clear them up after my cataract surgery. Karen went with me this time and she lowered some boom on the doctor and his fellow. Hopefully in a few days I will see better??? Hopefully. I've missed talking to you...

It's good to see you, and I hope your eyes can be better soon ;)
schiavona:
Thanks @felicity.  I've been pretty absent, but am trying to get back up here.  Good to see you too!

I'm tired. Not just I-had-a-rough-night-and-I'm-a-little-sleepy tired, but bone deep exhausted. I sleep all night, then wake up tired. Take a nap, wake up tired. I don't know if I'm tired of life, or just tired.

I just don't know.

I'm just...done.

olgakulaga:
Stay strong
felicity:
I have the same sensation here :(

Hey there, peeps. Long time. I was suffering through a long downturn, some days even preventing me from getting out of bed. But I’m doing better now. For now. Meds I was taking for my psoriasis really screwed with my mental health for two weeks. Luckily it has a really short half-life, so when I stopped taking it, I only had to wait 48 hours...

It's good to know you're feeling better :)

COSMOS: WAR OF THE PLANETS, 1977 color
The intro alone will make you hate this movie. Long and random scenes of a spaceship doing “space things”, but nothing that furthers a plot. And it is so chopped up it looks like film clips inserted in random orders from the floor of the rejects. They all wear these ridiculous fabric skull caps. Signals from outer space...

COLOSSUS AND THE AMAZON QUEEN, 1960 color
Colossus, better known as Glauco, is apparently a very strong guy, as he proves by winning a bare-knuckle brawl contest, Greek style, set to some cool, swinging 60’s jazz. Then a bar brawl, with cool, swinging 60’s jazz music. Like, far out man. Glauco gets kidnapped, with the help of his friend Pirro (thanks loads Pirro!) and is...
