So, since you are all dying to know what is going on in my life, I will tell you.

• Larry the odd-job handyman and lawn-guy appears to have stolen our lawnmower. We let him borrow it on Tuesday to mow a neighbor's yard.

The perp

• R2 will begin school on Tuesday. But really, he's just going for an hour so they can observe him in a "normal" class and then say on their paperwork that he needs to be in "Exceptional Education" classes instead. He will be wearing a uniform, and he will be an adorable little special needs college professor.

• Today, R2 got his scleral conformer. This is the clear plastic shell that eventually will be painted to be his artificial eye. He'll have this clear conformer for a few weeks, which gets his eye ready for more permanent shell, and stretches his eyelid a little.

So for a few weeks, his eye actually looks worse, because all the scarring and buildup on his bad eye shows through. The long-term shell will look exactly like his good eye, though. He had the impression made on August 14th, and then they built this shell based on the shape of his shrunken eyeball.
I can already tell it's going to be really cool. He seems a little annoyed by it, and gave me the All-done sign, but he doesn't seem to have any pain.




• That is all.

  1. WOW.......It looks good already to me....must be a great picture......

    WOWOWOW


    did Larry take the grass catching bag too when he borrowed it....?

    Because....based on the picture.....he prefers to mow and allow the grass to be dispersed freely ....


    If he did borrow the grass catcher also......was this premeditated lawnmower kidnapping---I ask U?

  6. Obama - oi! since when is it the place of our government to make us "morally responsible" for one another.... and if his government is going to be so morally responsible, how does partial-birth abortion fit into that picture? Its not very morally responsible for the baby??!!!
    I couldn't even watch the whole thing I was getting so annoyed by him and his platitudes... Yes I could hear things I wanted to hear, but as I was hearing them all I could hear was the ch-ching of him spending more of my tax dollars, rather than letting me give them to the charities I know will spend them the way I want them spent!!!

    and now I'm posting as an anonomi because it keeps saying my password is wrong.... UGH! Sometimes technology makes my faith have to work more....

  14. Oh, Josh. Of course you're a big strong guy, it's just you're so far away, that's all.

    In other news, McCain has picked a VP, Sarah Palin wikipedia about her... she sounds pretty good

    ReplyDelete
  15. "Sarah and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school"

    How cool would that be?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think McCain choosing a woman was wise..and from the little I have heard....she sounds like the right choice.

  17. I wanted to steal your lawnmower too. Mike talked me out of it.-G
    You lent it to us once and I was not sure you would really need it in KC. Doesn't it snow all year? Who wants to mow the snow?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Josh, just left 1960 and 45 at 8:30 this morning, going back to the woodlands, nothing other than normal. Maybe it will be bad this afternoon when I go back there to pick Layla up from work.-G

  19. Josh, I don't think anyone is fleeing the hurricane yet. Nothing on local news. Traffic is bad because it is friday and a holiday weekend. Always gets nasty. They are probably hyping it up as hurricane stuff but who knows. I did just go to walmart and they are nearly out of water already.

  20. Everyone likes to panic now adays. I tell you what, after the hell we went through trying to leave when Rita came, I won't leave again unless it is like the storm of the century barrelling down right towards The Woodlands.

  21. G dad has been trying to reach you. Did he find you yet? If not you should call him.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Also G, Matt just told me he wanted to get ahold of Mike and tell him we are playing tonight at the house of prayer. We are covering for Keith he is out of town. We are playing at 8pm. Do you think he might want to play?

  23. I appologize for using the blog as my personal message board, but Georgia is hard woman to get ahold of!

    ReplyDelete
  24. yeah, the hurricane's still days and days away, if it even comes here. the weather people are saying to stay put right now.

    i'm not going anywhere, unless God or my husband makes me.

    ReplyDelete
