I had an eye appointment on Tuesday, and apparently due to the difference in eyeglasses prescription between my left and right eyes, my contact lenses are now deemed “medically necessary”, and my contacts are free! Hooray!
I also talked to my doctor about getting LASIK, and he gave me a “cautious yes”, which I’ll take. He recommended a doctor to do the surgery, so I may set up a consultation appointment and see what’s what. Bionic eyes, here I come!

For the past week or two, I’ve been having trouble with my asthma, so yesterday I finally broke down and went to the doctor. As expected, she prescribed me a steroid-based inhaler, which she wants me to use twice a day for a month. As long as I’m feeling fine after a month, I can taper down and eventually stop using it. I inherited a great deal of distrust of steroids from my mother, but at this point, I’m a little bit out of options. My usual preventative medicine just isn’t doing it’s job, and not being able to breathe was getting real old. I asked my doctor why she thought I was having symptoms, and she said that it’s probably just sensitivity to pollen and other crap in the air since it’s the start of allergy season.
It’s been several (say, 10+) years since I’ve had these kinds of seasonal flare-ups, so this particular episode was met with a great deal of denial and disappointment. But hopefully this new medication will help control my asthma, and not give me moon facies; my neck can’t handle my head being any bigger.

I believe that I have come up with the solution to get people to quit cigarettes once and for all. It’s pretty obvious that vague threats of lung cancer and heart disease aren’t working, so what health organizations should do is make cigarettes so that each time you smoked a cigarette, your butt size would increase by 1%. At a pack a day, after a couple months, you’d be rivaling J-Lo it booty size. I can pretty much guarantee that all those skinny girls you see smoking on the street would quit pretty darn fast.
Well I thought it was a good idea…
This weekend I took Enzo to K-9 Insight for an aggression evaluation, and I was pleasantly surprised by his good behavior. He didn’t show any aggression towards the other dogs, and Pia, the instructor there, said he would be fine at doggy day care. So I think that we are going to start taking Enzo to Planet Pooch doggy day care once a week and see how that goes. Planet Pooch seems like a good place, plus they have webcams where you can watch your dogs throughout the day.
In other news, I voted this morning (and have the “I Voted” sticker to prove it!) and am eagerly awaiting the results of the election. Here’s to hoping for an Arnold-free government.
