i am so productive when the weather gets nice. it was supposed to rain today, but somehow didn't; sunny and comfortably 58°F.
was up pretty early at a couple minutes to 8 although, if i remember correctly, i was in bed early the night before, too. got some breakfast, directions, and made an eye appointment for later in the morning. got ready, locked panther in the bathroom, and was out of here around 9:20.
traffic was incredibly light this morning so i made it clear out to arlington heights in probably record time. i wanted to leave early since the traffic gets kind of slow around the airport, but no such issue today. only i would get as much enjoyment as i did out of zipping around 90 on a clear day, grooving to buffett. took an easier route to walmart and found myself with an hour and a half to waste until my appointment. shopped around for an hour, put the stuff in the car, and went back in to see if they could take me a bit earlier.
on the upside, i can see again! no more squinty squinty trying to read things. and hopefully my vision won't be nearly as blurry as it gets later in the day. on the neutral side, i guess, i apparently now have a very mild astigmatism. *sigh* it's always something... luckily it can easily be corrected by switching the contacts i wear; the shape's slightly different to accommodate my weirdly shaped eye. still haven't bought lenses as i'm testing this pair out first, but on the downside, paying for this crap su~cks. XP
finally went to mitsuwa, which was my original plan. things were timed perfectly as i got there around noon for lunch. yaaay, yakiniku set! didn't really get much (2 pkgs. miso ramen and 2 pudding-filled crab breads), but was really only there to eat at the food court anyway. sample day, too, so i tried some higher quality beef they were cooking with onions and tofu. damn was that tasty. and today i noticed they were playing both "chocolate disco" by perfume and "but" by koda kumi. i swear i always hear perfume when i go there, and i know they played "but" last time i was there but couldn't remember for the life of me what it was despite my knowing it used to be a fav song. left a bit after 2; can't believe i spent that long there, even with eating.
traffic back sucked, but oh well, i'm used to it. parked and went to a couple stores in this area just as an excuse to be out longer. at this point, i think i'm pretty much in for the rest of the night now. i'm tired and as much as i want to go out for dinner, i spent waaaay more today than i'd planned on. at least i got paid this week. oooy...
