when time stands still

i can’t believe it’s barely ten a.m. yesterday and today are going very slowly. it’s a dreadful combination of the sudden heat/humidity and the lack of work resources (read: the server is still not up 100%). i’d go home, but there’s nothing for me to do there either, except dishes. so i’m working on my redesign and otherwise wasting time. go me.
i phoned tyler last night. he was so suprised and pleased that i’d phoned him instead of the other way around. makes me feel guilty for being grumpy when he calls and wakes me up. i also made his day when i had to spill the beans about the surprise gift i’d ordered for him. he mentioned he’d ordered one for himself and i told him i’d ordered him one, too. in this case, having two is perfect for him, so it wasn’t a bad thing. i just wish it could have still been a surprise.
friday, before dinner & cards, i’m taking meghan to the optometrist. she’s never had a full eye exam with the dilation drops, the puff of air or the zillions of lenses (“is this clearer or fuzzier?”). since i’m overdue, i’ll make an appointment for the following friday and she’ll take me. i used to always want glasses. i’d go to the eye doctor and wish that he’d give me a prescription. now, i’d prefer not to need them, but with all the computer work i do, i’m fairly sure i’ll require some lenses for working/reading. if so, i’m going for the whole ani look, dammit. i need all the help i can get to look smart.
