Caution: corny line may ensue

My roommate always laughs at me because I take so many pills. That sounds awful. Correction: I take a lot of vitamins. Supplemental stuff, because I have a crappy diet and the immune system of a dead squirrel. Well, two more vitamins can be added to the regimen after my yearly eye exam today. Apparently I am so pale that even my eyes don't have enough pigment to protect my "macula" from the sunlight...basically, I have all the markers for developing macular degeneration down the line. Call me crazy, but I, like, really don't want to lose my vision. How will I read!?! How will I watch movies!?! How will I blog for the hundreds of thousands of readers I have by then!?! (Joke.) But seriously. I once lost my vision during a church service -- due to my first ever migraine -- and it was terrifying. So hopefully with the help of these handy dandy vitamins, and the hardcore sunglasses I also ordered, I will be able to hang on to my vision and see all my grandbabies' faces someday.

In other news, I arrived home to find FLOWERS! from two of my lovely friends (one of whom is in Spain right now!). I assumed they were belated birthday flowers, but no, they were "just because" flowers to brighten my day. That they did. I just hope neither Bri nor Lizzie goes to jail, like the last person who bought me flowers. I would feel slightly guilty.

Okay. Get off your computer and go look at something pretty or stare at someone you love ... because your vision shouldn't be wasted, and your loved ones should never be taken for granted.

(Yes, I'll take some wine with that cheese.)
