Kija got her wisdom teeth pulled this morning. She’s still pretty out of it, which is why I was able to get this picture without being hit.
Snow in Los Alamos today. Nice day, at least for me.
So, I’m in Albuquerque for the weekend. Kija’s friend Whitney is getting married, and apparently I have to show up as well. And no, I am not allowed to bring a date, I already asked.
As such, I brought the camera, and I hope to take some shots that are worth a darn of… whatever. I really don’t know yet. I’ve been really busy this last week, mostly procrastinating, and have not posted anything. I still have a ‘stop motion’ photo experiment in progress, I hope to have that posted up here in the next week.
Anyway, back to the joy that is someone else’s wedding. 
I’ve been busy the last day or two here. Amazingly, I’ve gotten a lot of client work done, but nothing has happened on the house. I had hoped to have my lab somewhat in shape by this weekend, but that is not looking like it is going to happen.
Kija has sold or is selling her bed to someone she works with. I had hoped it would have been gone on Tuesday, but the house was a mess so I postponed it so ‘we’ could clean. Which meant, Kija got disgusted with cleaning 20 minutes in and went to bed. So, then I was hoping the bed would be gone Wednesday, but the person forgot. And then, I was hoping it would be gone Thursday, but, yeah, I dunno. The reason? Once it goes, I can move the ‘small’ couch into Kija’s room and free up some room in the lab. I’m hoping this will be the kick in the pants I need to get in there and clean on it, as I don’t really have any walking room right now, and it is bugging me. I still managed to get one project out to a client, but with too much annoyance.
Spike has really taken to playing with these little fake mice I bought him. He pops them all around the room, sometimes carrying them in his mouth. I tried to get a shot of him with one in his mouth, but he was camera shy. The focus mechanism is probably pretty loud to him, so he’d stop and watch me every time I re-focused.
Today I had an eye doctor appointment. Of course, I didn’t realize this until yesterday when they called and said, “You have an appointment tomorrow”, but hey…
Anyway, I got there about 9:15, got the forms, and filled them out. Sat down, and read a magazine. A while later, one of the technicians or whatever you call the non-doctor staff came out to get me. She put me on some machine to get a rough idea of my needed prescription, and measured my glasses, and then did the air puff thingy. Then I was placed in The Room to wait for the eye doc. However, she told me before leaving, “The doctor is not in yet, and she won’t answer her phone in the mornings, so we have no idea when she will be here, so it might be a bit of a wait”. Alrighty then…
I sat and waited, and the doctor arrived about 10 minutes later. I heard the receptionist lady and another mention my name a few times outside the door; I guess they had lost my file. Yum. The doctor came in, sat down, and went through the “read the lowest line” routine, and then did it again, only this time with the little optical dial thingy. Then she asked some questions, and put the eye dilation drops in, which stung like crazy.
