Perfect Eyesight Doesn't Suck

On friday I had my final post-LASIK follow-up. I checked in at 20/15 vision!! I felt the urge to celebrate, so I after work I went home and took a nap!
A few things have become clear to me (no pun intended) over the past three months as I have been living free of glasses and contacts. So I decided to verbalize them here, because what else is a blog for?
First, while it is really great to be able to see, without fumbling on the nightstand for glasses, the clock and other things in my room when I wake up in the middle of the night, waking up in the middle of the night still sucks.
Second, the problems I've always had with haircuts have lessened considerably because I can see what the stylist is doing to me as they do it, and can correct them if they're not doing what I asked. It makes all the difference in the world!!
Third, falling asleep to a movie or reading is so much easier and more comfortable when you nodding off doesn't cause glasses to be pressed into your face. I love watching a movie until I fall asleep, but I've never really been able to do it, because I would either have to watch it without my glasses and not see anything, but fall asleep easily, or I would watch it with my glasses on and smash them into my face when I fell asleep... NOT comfortable.
These are just a few of the things I've learned in the past three months. I'm sure more will follow.

Spring at last!

I woke up late this morning. Somehow I had managed to turn my alarms (yes, I set more than one. mornings... ugh.) off at some point yesterday, so they didn't go off this morning. Luckily for me, Bre decided randomly to send me a "good morning" text when she woke up at 7:30 which woke me up. Good thing too. Otherwise I probably would have slept straight through and been really late for work. As it was I was only about 15 minutes late. I have to say, again, thank goodness I am a guy! I would never had made it if I'd had to deal with hair and makeup. (not to gloat to the women who might be reading this, but I think we have it better...) :)

So I got to work and was surprised to note that daylight saving time has finally caught up with itself and the sun was shining brightly outside my window. (That's right I have a window seat now. Score!) And as I sat there logging into my computer and waiting for my Outlook to load, I looked out across the street to the park and tennis courts and all I could think was, Spring is finally here!! It made my day brighter. (The photo is the view from my desk, courtesy of my iPhone.)

Of course I realize, that this being Utah, by the end of the week we'll probably have snow again. But for today, I will bask in the sunlight and blue skies. You never know how long they'll last!
