In Flanders Fields


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)


This day always makes me sad.

I moved a month ago. Nice house, can't wait 'til I'm all settled in.

I'm getting my computer back hopefully on the 15th.. YAY!! I can't wait, I've been going crazy on this crappy computer. It doesn't have photoshop so I'm unable to do any art work. I can't wait.

I'm moving. I've wanted to move for a while but now I have to. Our landlord is crazy.. at the very least, she's going senile.

We are a bit behind on rent because of everything that's been going on here, and she keeps phoning -during the middle of the day when people are at work expecting us to be home then gets mad when we aren't. Oh, or she says that we haven't talked to her in like 3 weeks when we talked to her the day before. She also comes in and tells me she doesn't like the way the furniture is arranged.. Oo? Gah! she pisses me off lol.

Anyway we still haven't found a place, though we have a couple to look at next week. *crosses fingers*

So as a present for being oh so brave about my surgery- yes I'm milking that up for all it's worth LOL- I've decided I want a new cell phone.

Omg I love it. *drools*

I also need a new camera. I've been thinking about getting a Nikon Coolpix- my friend has one and says it's good- but then I saw this one

It's very pretty and shiney...

here is the Coolpix

Also pretty and shiney

Hmmm decisions decisions......

Any thoughts on which is better? I clearly no nothing about these things as I judge them by looks >.< lol

Uuurgh.

I went to the optomologist today to see how my eye is healing and he said "all is perfect". Yay!! Now to wait for the next surgery, which will most likely be next month or even after that.

I have been having a hard time seeing writing and small details so we were starting to wonder if maybe this was because I have just had my eye fixed or if maybe I needed reading glasses. So yeah, I need glasses :/. I think I look terrible in glasses, unless they are the big celeb-type sunglasses. Sigh, oh well. At least I can read and look at the computer without using a magnifying glass lol :S Because I can only see out of one eye at the moment, going and getting prescription glasses makes no sense right now so we went to London Drugs and got a pair of $15 reading glasses. Can't wait to read all the books I got from the library (like 10 lol).

Since I've been on. I've had some medical issues but all is getting better now. About thia time last year I began to notice my eyes were going abit fuzzy but chalked it up to eye strain. When I finally went to the optometrist he sent me to a specialist who told me I had catarax(sp?). The only treatment is surgery and there is a LONG waiting list for surgery and on top of that they only do one eye at a time. I also found out that I have diabetes..which is what caused my eye sight to go. I finally got the first surgery a couple days ago so my right eye is better now... though still a bit akward to see out of still.

Sorry if you have left a comment or faved something and I haven't responded in about a year lol.
