Busy Whining

So far this year has not gone as planned.  For example, I was gonna be all 'wordy' and 'update-y' and crowd my blog space with posts stuffed full of deep thoughts and astonishing insights.  Instead, I lost my sight and went under the knife...TWICE.  *sigh*

See?  This is what happens when you attempt to 'have a plan' for the future...no matter how short of a time span that 'future' might be.  Say...a year. *another sigh*

So here I sit, in my pajamas in the middle of the day, writing a post about nothing.

You jelly?

Thoughts: Surgery on the Left Eye

Okay, seriously...that sucked.
