Wow....I never logged on yesterday. Probably because I was so pi ss ed and filled with other emotions that my thoughts were going a mile a minute. I explain myself better in writing than talking so I sent t an email last night. Then I called her home office number and left a message asking her to check her email as soon as she could because I really needed input. She emailed back about 15 minutes later. Not with much, but just a couple suggestions on how to ground myself and how to distract myself. She asked me to email her again when I felt like I was calm enough to think straight so she would know I was okay. It was scary last night. I never experienced that before. I hope I never have to suffer through that again. I don't know what you would call what I experienced last night...maybe a panic attack? I really don't know.

Had my eye appointment this morning. I don't remember it taking so long last time. It's not that I had to sit in the waiting room a long time or anything like that...just a million and one different things they did. It was probably about an hour and a half ordeal. So I was later to work than I thought I would be. And the kids got to laugh at me when I walked in with the wonderful fake sunglasses thingies shoved behind my glasses lenses.

I could see the road and stoplights and stuff to drive to work afterwards, but I couldn't see my speedometer with the sunglasses thing on. So I had no clue how fast I was going. So I just kept with the flow of traffic. As long as everyone else was going the right speed, I figured I was safe.

I pay about $7.50 a month for vision benefits now and I had nothing to pay at my appointment today. Insurance covered the entire exam with no copay. And insurance is paying the entire cost of my new glasses. I never realized how much I should have opted for vision benefits in the past. Sure I was limited as to the frames I could choose from for insurance to fully cover them...but I still had about 35 to choose from. They said my new glasses will be ready in about 7-10 business days and will call me when they are ready for pick- up. I'll be able to see better then.

CE, sorry about the kitty.

Granite, try to relax and enjoy NY.

To everyone else, I hope you have a good night, or day.
