Netflix Streaming

Well, I am not that happy with it.  I am waiting right now for it to load again and hope it makes it.  I read somewhere that one should watch from a computer with a wired connection.  My router is in my basement but I may want to move it upstairs and maybe move the phone to the kitchen.

I was at the eye doctor after work.  The retinal specialist called and I am supposed to go back to see him and I thought I'd get my prescription updated so maybe I could at least see the letters on the wall...

The right eye has had a few idiopathic bleeds for about six years now.  I had them again last year, triggering a series of visits to the retinal specialist and the bleed would seem to improve and I wouldn't get any shots in my eye, since I am not bleeding because of neovascularization. Then the original bleed was over with but a new one started up but was gone by the next appointment and I didn't have to go back for six months.

Tonight during the one-two, three-four, which is better routine, nothing looked good for the left eye, the eye that is not bleeding.  I even asked if we were even looking at letters because they were just spiky shapes.

I have reached the point with that eye where they can't fix it anymore.  So tonight I am going to have a few beers and somehow figure out in the days ahead what the heck people do when they can't drive them selves around anymore.  I have to get to a driving school next spring for sure.  I'd like to do one with Corvettes but I didn't go to Miller Motorsports because it was ridiculously expensive to just drive Mustangs there (race prepped ones for around $5000, and would include a Ford GT for $8000) so once I find out what it costs to rent a Corvette Grand Sport, I might forget about that dream too.

And there Netflix is loading again, glad it's not my favorite episode- I watched that one, last night, the body switching episode on Farscape.

I really shouldn't embrace self pity because there are people who have real problems, horrible diseases that are going to kill them or make them really miserable and I am relatively healthy.   But impending blindness is a bummer and I am going to get a little drunk tonight and not worry about p90x tomorrow.

And I don't think all that much of John Crichton marrying that princess.  You know he loves Aeryn.
