Laser me….or not.
Well, I went to my consultation visit with Will Vision and Laser Centers. The appointment took 2 hours! They did the basic eye exams, as well as checked eye pressure, and took an ultrasound scan of my eye to get it's individual fingerprint and to map the corneal...
Laser me!
Today I have my consultation appointment with Will Vision and Laser Centers to have Lasik surgery done: I've needed vision correction since junior high school or perhaps it was high school. For the longest time I just didn't wear glasses because I didn't like how...
So many things, so little time
We're getting into prep mode for leaving the country in hopefully a little over a months time. There are so many things to wrap up and take care of. Here is a sampling from our to do list: 1) Find property manager & renter for house 2) Pack up entire house...
Finally!
This is a note I wrote today, so I wouldn't forget how it happened: It’s about 10:15 on Tuesday, March 10th. Ian just called to tell me to check his email. I knew what that meant without even looking. It is true. Our work permits have come through. I looked...
The big money question….
Pretty much every day someone asks "Hey, any news about Kenya?" Generally, this is followed by an apology of sorts on their part for asking, because they assume that I get asked that a lot. Which is true. I do. But I'm never bothered by it. It is truly amazing...

Argggh, bills and technology or notI
When I went to part-time work outside the home instead of full-time, we agreed in our house that I would take care of the bills. Seemed like an ok agreement. I've done pretty well..not too many overdrafts or late payments because I've been lazy or didn't have a...
Really, not sick??
We went to the doctor today after having Eli sick and lethargic for 6 days. They ran tests. Nothing. I told him to stop fussing and eat his dinner, even the doctor said there was nothing wrong. This is what happened when he came fussing out of bed: While he was...
“Look Spidey”
As can only be said by a 2 year old looking like this: Umm, we don't watch Spiderman yet. I'm crediting this to the influence of cousin Alek who is always fully decked out as Spiderman or...
