My First "Note"

On my eleven­ti­eth blog. We’ll see how long this one lasts.

Not much going on today. Back home home in the Grove, watch­ing the sis­ters as my par­ents are out vaca­tion­ing. (It’s their 25^th anniver­sary, and they’re going through Sin­ga­pore, Malaysia, Thai­land, and maybe a cou­ple of other coun­tries.) Even though I’ve only been doing it for a day, and my sis­ters are pretty much self-​sufficient at this point, I have a renewed appre­ci­a­tion for how much our par­ents do for Dong Ha, Gio Linh, and me.

Had my eye exam today. My right eye is one “step” worse than before. I’m not quite sure what that means. Well, it’s not too bad… my optometrist said I’m still good for LASIK. Get­ting new frames wasn’t required, but she sug­gested it. I’ve had the ones I’ve got for about two years now. Ended up pick­ing out a nice pair of Oak­leys (pre­scrip­tion frame, not sport sun­glasses), but they were too small for my head. Set­tled for a sim­i­lar frame by Nike/​Marchon. I like them because Mar­chon makes those nifty Flexon frames, and you all know how I abuse my glasses in var­i­ous ways such as falling asleep on them. Insur­ance didn’t cover nearly enough, so I left with­out get­ting new glasses. Oh well… I con­sider it sav­ing up for the LASIK.

So yeah… Respon­si­bil­ity sucks. Bills suck. Com­cast Cus­tomer Ser­vice sucks. Oh, but Jus­tice rocks. It is the best new show I’ve seen this fall. I like to bet with my sis­ter how the mur­der really went down, because they show you at the end of each episode.

Guess that’s it for now. Hope you all keep read­ing. (It’s easy, with the auto-​stalk telling to you!) I’ll be in the Grove until Fri­day or Sat­ur­day… gotta go back to Davis to move again. (But that’s a story for another “note.”) Give me a ring if you want to play!
