Eye Diary

For the next thirty days, I have to write a diary. An eye diary, specifically. Yes. An eye diary. Well, that's what I'm calling it. No one knows this, but I actually have a diary. A proper one. I haven't written in it about two years. It's light pink, with two sleeping labrador puppies on it. It's pretty cute. Okay, I just looked in it. The last time I wrote in it was December 09. But I haven't taken it seriously since I was about nine. The last time I wrote in it, it was notes for a new story I never got round to writing. And even when I took it seriously, I was hopeless with it. I'd think "I'm going to write in my diary when I get home", but I'd forget, and it'd sit in my drawer for a couple of weeks without me thinking about it.

Which is why I'm going to hopeless with this eye diary. I should probably explain what my eye diary is.

I went to the opticians today and I told him how things were starting to get slightly blurry even with my glasses on, but the blurriness is only periodically. And so, over the next month, he wants to me record the time and date every time my vision blurs, and include what I was doing/how I was feeling. I've already written in it.

September 2nd. 16:50.

Reading online.

And I actually need to write in it now because the screen is starting to blur. Grr.

Okay, written in it. "Typing. Kinda tired." was my doing/feeling description. Heh. So, I reckon I'm going to last a couple of days and then completely forget about it, because I have the memory of a seventy-year-old. However, if I remember by the 6th, I'll take the diary (a plain, black notebook we got from a Pound shop in my town XD) to school with me, and hopefully, having it with me will help me remember. And if I get into the habit, I might continue to record it. The optician said I only had to do it for a month, but I think it'd be easier to spot a pattern if I record throughout the six months between now and my next appointment.

Or I could do it for a month, stop, and do it again in February (appointment is in March), to get a more up-to-date record of how mucked up my eyesight is.

In other news, I got this awesome t-shirt, I've started reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher (it's amazing), this competition I'm holding with a friend (Amy) on HPFC has ended and I'm going through the process of judging all the entries, I'm participating in my Dribble Drabble challenge for the second time, I'm ten books away from completing my 2010 Book Count challenge, and I'm going back to school on Monday. I'll post a back to school blog on Sunday, and my holiday blog is still in the works XD

Pointlessness.

Unless I somehow find the energy to pull myself out of bed on Saturday and type an entire blog about France, you won't get another blog from me until next week. Again, I have a fair few things to talk about, so I'll do the number thing. Again.

1. You should have already noticed ... I changed my header picture. I didn't like the old one, and I didn't expect to keep it for so long... so now you can have a picture of my eyes staring you down. My eyelashes look really long at the corners. Weird.

2. My #3 in my last blog told you I'd hurt my thumb in Tech last week. Yesterday, we were doing practical Tech, and I was close to tears in pain. In the end, my Tech teacher did most of my work. I love that woman. It doesn't hurt much now, though, so that's good.

3. I've been working my butt off today trying to solve this problem I have and finish a design for something I can't tell you about ... yet. You may or may not remember me mentioning a "secret project" quite a while back... yeah, I was working on that. Don't badger me into telling you - all will be revealed once it's complete. If I can get it to work. Stupid thing.

4. Besides that, I've been making a lot of signature banners. My favourites?

 Whoa, I just noticed this now, and I find it pretty freaky: Each one contains a different main character for the Nickelodeon show H20: Just Add Water (one of my favourite shows when I was younger). I knew I was using the actors, but I didn't realise my favourites included one of each. Heh. Coincidences = <3

5. I'm writing this at 11:20pm while concentrating on other things, so I keep forgetting what I was going to write. Hmph. Memory of a goldfish.

6. I've been getting better at posting on my Dailybooth. Not terrific, yet, but I posted yesterday and today, so it's going somewhere!

7. Speaking of pictures and stuff, I'm going to have loads of pictures from France and the Pink concert, so I might make two blogs: one of pictures, one of my rambling about what a great experience it was. Heh. ;D

8. I take up way too many challenges on HPFC, and I am way too addicted to drabble collabs. Doh.

Keep blogging!
... This was pointless.
