Welcome to my life!

I am sitting here after spending the afternoon at a friends house and I am absolutely pooped! How is it that I can spend days on end doing sweet FA and be unable to sleep but I dare go out for a few hours by myself and I come home bombed?! I guess in a twisted way it makes sense but I would much prefer to have energy to go out then deal with Insomnia that night rather than have no energy when I go out and have Insomnia every other night! LOL Oh the joys of this life huh?!

Not much happening here at the moment, Steve is back to work on Tuesday and then it is all down to me to run the house again, I am sure it will be fine but it still makes me nervous to think about! I am allowed to drive now (Hence the going out by myself this arvo!) and overall am feeling 1000 times better than before the surgery so it should be okay but I am still struggling with some things, like picking the kids up on Friday I was fine driving down and back but the walk across the oval and into school about killed me. Standing for long amounts of time is still hard too, thankfully the pins and needles are totally gone now I am no longer on the Diamox, but I still am getting tired really quickly.

On a positive note, I have a million colours in my world again, I didn't realise quite how bad my sight was getting until after I came home from hospital. The first hint was on the day after I came home, we went out for a picnic and mum bought the kids drink bottles... I thought she had bought a new one for Makenzie because last I remembered her drink bottle was very pale pink and it was now bright, almost painfully vibrant, pink! Weird! Then I sorted Makenzie's clothes in her drawers out and realised half of the stuff we bought while in America looked totally different than it was in my memory. It freaks me out a little to know how bad it had gotten with my eyes and no wonder they rushed the surgery but it is cool at the same time! Although now I feel like I have to re-edit all the photos I have done in the last 6 months, a lot I have looked at are way duller than I thought they were, how embarrassing! LOL

Anyways, I have plenty more to say tonight but dinner is here and I am pretty bombed so will be back another time :P
