funny

     Ok it's officially cold. The temp is 0 degrees outside right now. I don't have any great stories to tell you. It has been fairly quiet latley. I think the temp is helping us out on this one. I decided to grab a funny police story to share.

 

A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home. He says no - he only lives a mile away. About five blocks from party the police pull him over for weaving and ask him to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he starts, the police radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking place in a house just a block away. The police tell the party animal to stay put, they will be right back - and they run down the street to the robbery.

The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has the flu and has been in bed all day.

A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that his is in bed with the flu and has been so all day. The police have his driver's license.

They ask to see his car and she asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens the door where they find: the police car, lights still flashing.

 

Hope you enjoyed that one.

Life happens

All right, I know it’s been a long time. Things have been strange around here lately. Nothing that I can put my finger on but strange none the less. The eye surgery has gone well. The first week was hard, but I’m seeing pretty well now, and I like not having to worry about contacts anymore.

My wife has spent the last few weeks working like crazy. There was some upset at work, and her boss quit. She has been trying to do her job and his for a while now. I hardly see her anymore. I sure hope they get someone hired soon. It’s really strange, I’m the kind that is waiting around for her to come home, and I’m excited to see her, but then when she walks in, I can’t show that I’m happy to see her. I don’t know why, but I guess it’s a hide my emotions kinda thing.

Work for me has been interesting. They have posted the position of Sgt. So someone is moving up in ranks. I have the qualifications to apply, but I know it’s not my turn yet. There are two that have applied. One of them is a detective. I am waiting to see who gets it, because if the detective gets the Sgt. Position I plan on applying for the detective slot. I think I would really like that job, but at the same time I’m pretty apprehensive. Always hard to move out of your comfort zone I guess.

Anyway, I will try to keep this updated a little better.

LASIK

LASIK surgery, if you don't know what it is, well it's when they burn your eyes with Lasers in hopes that you will be able to see better afterwards. I just recently had this done. I was told by many many people that it was a breeze, and you would be able to see the moment you got out of the building. They said you would be light shy for a while but other than that you would be great.

 

 

It has been one week since I had it done; my vision is almost back to 100 percent. I still have to put some drops in my eyes that make it hard for me to focus. Tomorrow I stop taking those drops so I hope that my vision will be great. The surgery itself kind of sucked, but I suppose as surgeries go it was pretty easy. They put this clamp on your eye, and tighten it up so that you can't close your eye. Kind of hurts, then they put this suction cup thing on your eyeball, and then cut the top layer off of your eye. They pull that back and they begin burning your eye with the laser. It's a bit unnerving when you realize you can smell your eyeball burning. Smells kind of like burnt flesh. When I stood up from the LASIK, It looked like someone had put a sheet of that really thick plastic in front of me. I couldn't see very well at all. The rest of that day my eyes hurt, but the next day they felt pretty good, and now they feel really good.

 

The bad thing for me is my eyes were so bad they have already told me that I would need to come back in and have this done again. I guess if your adjustment is too high, it will require a touch up surgery to make sure you don't need glasses again.
