Ugh, horrid things. Lydia’s got an appointment today with the Ophthalmologist/Optician/Eye Bloke at the Hospital today for a check-up and we had to put some dilating eyedrops in. What a traumatic event! We managed to get it done a lot easier than we thought it was going to be though, as we took her by surprise. I explained to her about the eyedrops and going to see the ‘Eye Doctor’ and she seemed fine with it (probably because she wasn’t really listening). Then a few minutes later we pounced! GO TEAM! *High-fives Dave*. He’s taken her to the Doctor now, so hopefully she’ll be ok.
I’m more or less recovered from my operation now. I’ve just got a low-level ache in my ears. I’m trying to avoid taking the painkillers that they gave me until night time as they make me feel all groggy and weird. I’m back at work tomorrow, so I’ll definitely wait until afterwards to take them. I don’t want to start tripping at my desk 
I already practically piss myself if I have to type ‘Cockermouth’ for a city, never mind if those painkillers make me all giggly too! There’d be a howl of laughter, then a huge crash as I fall to the floor giggling. I’d probably still keep mis-typing Dartmouth as Fartmouth too *clutches tummy*. My humour is not the most sophisticated in the world.
I think I’ll pop up to town soon to see if I can actually get a coffee from Starbucks within an hour. I can’t believe how busy it is in there. It’s not like any of the other coffee shops are losing business either because they’re all packed too. I doubt that I’ll go very often though as I just can’t relax there. It’s in the busiest part of the shopping centre and has huge glass windows too. I just feel as though I’m constantly on display. The service is much better at Nero’s too. You don’t feel as though you’re on a conveyor belt and you actually get some privacy from the outside world too.
Mmm…coffee
So.. this is kind of random, but.. I had a dream with your flash bunnies in them last night. LOL. I just had to tell you. They’re so cute!
I’ve never been fond of any kind of eye drops either. I hate that burning feeling.
I had almost the same experience w/ my nephew, Enzo. We had to wrap him in a blanket so his hands & feet would be out of the way!
