For all who have asked, prayed, and wished me well about my eye problem: THANK YOU! I was so touched by the outpouring of support. Knowing you guys are here to listen and actually care means so much to me. I’ve hated not being able to blog like I normally do, but I’m trying to be really careful and it seems to be working. While my eye is still not functioning properly, it’s feeling less sore and the floater is mostly gone! That’s good news and I will definitely update further when the doctor tells me what’s causing it.

Some folks have asked how I’m staying busy. Honestly, I am so bored! No books, blog, computer time, nothing… Mostly, I’ve been watching a lot of TV, cooking, cleaning, trying to organize some closets, getting my spring/summer wardrobe out of storage, and spending lots of family time at home.

I’ve also been feeling extremely tired and seem to need naps almost daily. When I say naps, I mean falling asleep on the couch, with every light on and the TV, sometimes at noon! Crazy exhaustion, but I’m not fighting it because my body is healing. My guy was so confused he actually asked me if I was pregnant. (Just for the record: nope, I’m not!)

Since I’ve been feeling pretty depressed, I decided to make a chocolate cake to cheer myself up. I thought it turned out adorably and the taste was like a little bite of heaven. Probably  a million calories, too, but sometimes you just have to live a little.

I was able to drive yesterday for the first time in a week (exciting, huh? Oh, what we take for granted). I was on the road for 15 minutes total, in the middle of the day, when visibility was almost perfect. I felt safe, but didn’t want to over do it and returned after just one quick errand.

Another bright spot during this trying time has been these cuties. All the pups have been very loving and we’ve been doing lots of snuggling. Here’s my gang visiting with some of their pals. Everybody was on their best behavior.

So, that’s what’s been happening in my little corner of the world. Hopefully, I can slowly work back up and blog a little bit every few days, then every other day, etc. Until then, just know I’ll be thinking of all of you and missing you.
