Cave Squids can't see. Just like me.

So I've had the flu for a month and I am just finally getting over it.  I didn't want to bore you to death with my daily updates on the status of my grossness.  All I know is that I went for round two of the eyeball disinfectant yesterday at ye olde clinic.  This time, it's creamed bleach that I am to "slide" under my eyelid for my resistant strain of eyeball-itis. 

Yeah.  I barf whenever I think about it too.  When the doctor told me to "slide it into your eye" I cried, but you couldn't tell because I looked like this to begin with.

So anyway, I've been contact lens-less for a month now and that means that I'm blinder than a cave squid, if there is such a thing.  I'm just going to eat this piece of an aero mint bar and imagine that there is such a thing.  If there is, I'll bet it's blind.  Come to think of it, all cave squids are probably blind. And do you know why?  Cave Squids are Satan-Powered.  You know how I know?  I read it. 

My Scientific Depiction of an actual Eyeless Cave-Squid.

Oh all right.  I'll stop with the cave squids.  Mainly, I got distracted drawing a cave squid.  I have a new drawing tablet if you must know.  PS.  Cave squids only have 6 legs...  I mean tentacle thingies. 

The point to all of this is that this is currently how I see the world:

In my living room right this second.

In my doctor's office.

Um... Pretend you didn't see this.

They say that blind people become strangely brilliant.  So much to think about, so little to visually process.  Obviously this is true.

(And guess what else? I have to get my thyroid ultrasounded.  I'll definitely tell you how THAT goes.  This is what I get for going to the doctor).

So also in my blind, clutsy stupor, I killed my fish.  I was going to clean his bowl when he bounced out onto the drain.  I tried to carefully pick him back up so that I could return him to the water, but I accidentally popped him down the drain hole with my finger.  He just disappeared.  I ran some water after him because obviously that will help him get to the ocean and find his family.

Appx 10 minutes later, I smashed a hole in the fish bowl when I knocked it against a bowl of fruit.  I am not sadistic and it wasn't on purpose.  Just ask my 13 year old who witnessed they whole fish murder.  I am just blind right now and should stop trying to do things.

Me and Blue before his untimely demise.

So that is my update on being sick, cave squids and the death of Blue.  I'm hoping the cream that I have to slide into my EYEBALL will work soon.  I also need to go glasses shopping, but I can't get a new prescription until my virus clears up.   My glasses sort of fell onto the floor of my vehicle when I was driving and I sort of stepped on them like they were some kind of brake that you have to rip the arms off of with your shoes.

But I've lost ten pounds.  So there is that.

PS.

(Pretend you didn't see this either)
