We stayed in a bed & breakfast--a first time experience for both of us. It was really fun. The couple running the place were the kindest hippies (how perfect) I've ever met and unbelievable cooks. The woman told us she used to work for an Italian chef. After tasting breakfast, I know she's had training somewhere. We talked food places with them--hearing their favorite spots in Bloomington and surrounding areas and also about things they cook at home.
What we didn't check out before booking was what was going on at IU. Turns out it was Freshmen Parents' Weekend. Plus, there was a night game! So, not only did that explain WHY every place was booked out for the weekend, but it also would have warned us about the nightmarish traffic. Oliver Winery was so full, people were parking in the grass (we had to). We were stuck in traffic numerous times, but still managed to have a great getaway.
The weekend was to celebrate our anniversary, which was Monday--2 years! On Monday, however, I never saw Kyle, my mom came for dinner and to spend the night, and I had class (arriving home at 10p). Mom's visit was really to take me in for surgery early on Tuesday morning. It was the last attempt to fix my eyes before throwing our hands up and saying -- LASIK is it!
Surgery went well and quickly (over in 10 minutes), and besides being another traumatic experience without any relaxing drugs, I survived well. Later in the day, I couldn't even tell they'd done anything. I've not had any pain or discomfort, other than a dry yet leaky eye (and that was only today). There has been some minor improvement in vision, but I'm so tired still, and my eye is just a bit foggy, I think because it's dry.
I worked a late night on Wednesday, following a super early morning rise & shine for my day-after eye appointment in Indy. This is why I'm so exhausted. Early mornings and really late nights (for an oldy like me). I will work all day on Saturday and then we're having some friends over for a visit. Wow...long, crazy, tiring week. But, looks like I'll be able to get all my school work done which is essential.
Oh, and the other thing that was HUGE this week: I got a new phone! Seriously, this is amazing. For whatever reason, I started browsing some new phone ideas -- I was up for my free upgrade with Verizon. And I found this touch-screen phone that's not a smartphone, but it's a heck of a lot closer than the one I had. So, I got it because it was FREE to me. And I purchased a really small data plan so I can have some access to the Internet on my phone. Kyle was able to set up everything on the phone for me, including getting my contacts from one phone to the other, and he gave me a ready-to-operate object. I loved that! So did he. Like I said, it has a touch screen and a slide out keyboard. It's black and makes a lot of pretty noises. I'm super pumped. I finally have a mobile calendar! Maybe I can get rid of the hard-copy planner after all. We'll see. I'm not ready to commit to that.
Anyway, that's our big week. I need a couple slow ones after this. Yikes!
