It's been a while....

I haven't been in the blogging mood for a while. It's amazing how life carries you away into a biss of "busyness". There's been many times where I've thought, "I'd really like to blog about this or that", but in the end I end up being too tired or busy (my moment to whine today). (which, by the way, I feel a bit entitled to have; it was a crazy busy day in the ICU today:) Tonight I've decided it's time to blog again. It's late, I'm tired after a 12 hour shift, but the kids are in bed, Paul's busy, and this is how I'd like to spend some "me" time before going to bed. No tv tonigh; , just me having a cathartic session with my laptop.

Perhaps what has spurred on my urge to blog tonight is that I found out that in about 2 weeks time I'll be seeing out of my "lazy eye" for the first time (if all goes as planned). Those who know me, know that I've had laser eye surgery a couple of months ago to my "good eye". It's been doing all of the seeing for the past 32 years and has required a corrective lens since I was in grade 2 (I guess it's hard work for 1 eye to do the work of 2, so it's gotten weaker over the years). Anyhow, I found out that my "lazy eye" can be worked on as well. I've been told that I won't be able to see better than 20/20, as I now do with my eye that has had surgery, but for all intensive purposes, I'll be able to see out of it (legally able to drive with it). Gotta love technology some times!

Cannot imagine what life will be like after the surgery. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but for someone who's only known what it's like to see out of one eye, it's a BIG DEAL! Today, I've been thinking a lot about what the heck it will feel like to see beyond the right side of my nose. My humorous husband said that he's sad he'll no longer be able to sneak in a tickle from the left side. I'll be able to intercept him much more quickly. (Besides my parents, he's my biggest supporter in this; he's so excited for me).

Perhaps I'll try to blog next time with both my eyes!
