Another long day without getting the camera out until late. After doing my nightly routine I realized I was almost out of picture taking time.
Clearasil time. Pinkies up. ;-)
The kids go back to school tomorrow. I have a million things to do today and I'm just... tired.
Tonight I went to get a haircut and to get my highlights touched up. Of course I should have taken a better picture of my hair, but I didn't get the tripod in just the right spot. Eh, better luck next time.
By the way, I have been in front of the camera more this week than I have been in years! LOL
James came home from the boat today. I miss him like crazy when he is gone.
Enough said.
Today I went fo my ENT appointment. It was crazy. He looked in my ears and found a hole in my eardrum. Then he numbed my nose and stuck a tube thing in it and down my throat -GROSS! He said my adenoids are big, as well as my tonsils. Yeah, I had my adenoids removed when I was about 5 or 6, those suckers grew back! So, he thinks they should come out. It's not a pressing issue. So I asked him if we can wait until February if possible - I have a full schedule from now until January. The doc said recovery would be "every bit of 16-18 days, maybe more" depending on how I heal.
After the nose tube, I went for a hearing test. I definitely have hearing loss. Apparently I also have a hole in BOTH eardrums. The one was so small the doctor didn't see it with the regular scope thing. They did a pressure test and found it that way. Then I went back to a different room where he looked into my ears with a HUGE microscope thing. Yep - 2 holes. One is so big that he thinks it is contributing to the hearing loss and I should have it repaired. He doesn't do that kind of surgery so he is referring me to his colleague. The colleague only works in the city, so I have to make an appointment to go see them there. Luckily that surgery is outpatient.
So yep, 2 surgeries for me. Fun, huh?
Today was all about me. I was home alone with no kids and no husband, free to do what I wanted to do! I took some self portraits this morning with my new lens. I did some laundry and cleaning, then headed out to take wander around alone and take some pictures! So relaxing!
We were having thunderstorms tonight and the power was dipping in and out. Juli and I found some flashlights and prepared for a blackout. We never exactly got a blackout, but we did have a bunch of fun. We tried to do some lightwriting, but I learned we stink at that. This picture came from me setting the timer on my camera and running and hopping on the bed before it took a picture. Apparently this is really funny to a 3 and a half year old.

While James and Juli cleaned the wheels of his motorcycle I played around with my camera a little. It was starting to get dark and the lighting was not really cooperating, but I did manage to get a few self-portraits.
NGWC Challenge #3. Self portrait reflection. Here I am in a nutshell, er I mean napkin ring. I'm not sure I'm crazy about it, but we'll see if I can come up with anything better.
Today my office closed early and the girls were still at school so James and I took a ride over to Bryn Athyn Cathedral for a photo shoot. The architecture there is great and I think I got some really nice shots!
I'm supposed to be at work at 8am. Everyday around that time I find myself just leaving the girls at daycare to go to my job that is about 35 minutes away. I'm lucky if I make it in before 9am these days.
Not much going on today. I felt like I was in the car forever today. It was really no more than usual, but the commute was getting to me.
Not much going on today, I mostly hung around the house with the girls. We took some silly pictures and then went to dinner at my sister-in-law's house.
I worked from home today since I had a guy coming to check out the air conditioning system. I worked from home because they said between 11am and 1pm. He did not come until after 3pm. I should have gone to work.
On the plus side, I got done a ton of laundry and cleaning since the girls were at school. So it wasn't a totally wasted day.
