It's only forever, not long at all.
Jun. 27th, 2008 05:50 pmSo, I was having a good day. A really good day, actually, despite getting up absurdly early because of people mowing their long. I got up, wrote, pondered, picture hunted, saw a story, and was generally happy. I went to therapy where my session literally was like "Doctor Who, writing, seashore yay! Fangirl!" And then I went to Krissy's to go swimming and feed the dogs, despite the fact I needed to go shopping. And swimming is one of my favorite things in the world too do. I'm a water person, so I'm more comfortable on water then on land.
But while swimming, I discovered some more drawbacks to being half-blind. The first thing is that you can't skim the pool, because you can't tell where stuff is and the pool is big so just walking around it isn't gonna help. It sucked, and then my sister got all pissy with me and was all "I thought you skimmed the pool." Yeah, I totally thought I did too. Another thing: diving. I fucked up my hand because I dove in water too shallow without realizing it. Thank goodness it wasn't my head, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. (Yes, I said thank goodness, everyone can breathe now.) Also, clearly swimming with an eyepatch is out, so I ended up getting a wicked headache in a remarkably short period of time.
Another thing: hitting the wall. I kept hitting the wall on my left side cause I just couldn't see it. I ended up having to just swim with my eyes closed, which is rather hard to do all the time. I just want something in this world to be fucking right with my eye thing. Swimming fails, walking at night fails and I'm having some serious reconsideration of stuff for tomorrow.
I'm just tired of being covered in brusies that I don't have fun explanations for. Also, I miss people and being out and bah.
