I can see!!
I can SEE!! It's a miracle!! I got new contacts today -- I never knew my old ones were so crappy. I mean, I knew they were crappy, but I didn't know they were that bad. Did you know trees actually have individual leaves? They're not just big green blurs? It's true! And street signs have words on them! Will wonders never cease. I'm sure Patrick and Melissa will be happy, since we're all travelling to JournalCon together, and I'm helping with the driving. Heh.
I've had a really sore throat since Saturday (hey, I have a fun trip coming up, I'm bound to get sick). No fever, nothing bad like that, just a nasty sore throat. On Sunday morning my right tonsil was swollen and covered with oozing yellow things you don't even want to know about. Oh, I just told you, didn't I? I'm evil that way... it's better now, a little. I can talk without pain, and I can almost swallow without wincing. I spent an hour sitting in the doctor's waiting room, only to have him spend about 30 seconds looking at it, then tell me "It's probably a virus. Gargle with salt water and get some rest." Um, hi, I knew to do that. Contrary to appearances, I'm not a complete idiot.
I don't have much else to say, really. I'm looking forward to JournalCon -- I'm hoping to meet a lot of other journallers I admire a whole lot. (I'll be easy to spot -- I'll be the star-struck one wandering around with her mouth hanging open, or pointing at people and saying "Oh, my God, it's...you! Hee!
