Vision Thing
Mar. 9th, 2005 04:38 pmHeh! I got my new favourite secret ingredient (right next to real sate sauce) chilli paste in soya bean oil in Yangebup of all places. There you go. :-)
So what's been happening in my life. Well, things have started to come to fruition. I can see floor in the lounge room. I have even vacuumed it. I can see floor in the dining area. I have not yet vacuumed that. I can even see desktop on my desk. I have wiped it over and put things in boxes. The kitchen even had clear tops for days. I have enough room to breathe in. *grin*
We made a Thai three course meal (well, four I guess if you include cake) for my brother's birthday. We did corn patties, tom yum soup, green thai curry chicken and chicken and basil stir-fry with rice. It was pretty f*cking awesome if I do say so myself. I did all the chopping and prep at my house, and then Chesh and I both cooked bits together. :-) Mother fed us alcohol. It went very very well.
I'm finding it a bit difficult to explain what I next want to explain. It's related to the title... I have been reading all these pregnancy mags Lyn has loaned/given me, and I remember reading about the occasional vision problems that sometimes pop up. They go away after a while/when the child is born, and I remember thinkng "I hope I don't get anything like that!" Well, it seems I'm just lucky. :-) I have what seems like a permanent sunspot in my right eye. It's fine during the day for driving and doing everything, but I don't want to drive at night any more because I find I just can't make out things like street signs. :-( It's kind of annoying, because it does make things a little bit more dangerous, and in dim light I can have problems making out friend's faces. Not that it's a hassle; every one of my friends seems to have a very different physical shape!! But it just sometimes feel like another dent in my already rapidly diminishing independance. I've spent a long time being independant, and knew I would have to adjust, but it's always going to be a learning curve. I can't wait for this to fix itself! (And yes, I spoke with the midwives about it who ran me through a heap of questions and decided it's "just one of those things for now." )
