30th Birthday… (last week)

April 1st, 2009

Congratulations, self..you finally did it.  You made it to 30 years old!  or perhaps it should say…”Ding! You’ve reached level 30!  You gain a -1 in stamina!”

What exactly does turning 30 mean, anyways…Does it mean cheaper car insurance?  Not really.  More wisdom or experience?  Maybe..depends on what you call wisdom or experience.  Or does it just mean I’m officially old…. I don’t exactly feel old, but I certainly don’t feel like I did five years ago either.  Once upon a time, I could run many miles, could scoop many shovels of sand and dirt from a car wash pit, and was able to handle three hours in an attic without much concern or tire.  Now…that isn’t the case.

Cataract Surgery…

September 18th, 2007

I first started noticing the problem at the movie theater, where I worked during college, when I couldn’t read the titles to the arcade games from the box office. Originally I thought it was just my eyes but the glasses they gave me didn’t help and I could barely read 20/20 on their letter board. I had both cataracts removed within two weeks of each other, this being the first surgery. In December 2008, I had two more surgeries, one on each eye, to remove a film that was covering the old lens that they had to leave in place for my new lens, which allows me to see clearly beyond about six feet. Anything inside six feet though, I must wear ‘readers’…yea like those old people you see that have glasses hanging off their nose. That is me now and I’m not quite 30 yet. Go me! Read more…

I officially closed on my new home in KC on May 4, 2006.  I look forward to remodeling/improving my home while I am not very far from work, escaping the dreadful half-hour drive for most people I know that live around KC. Read more…
