Western Front

This place has been pretty quiet, on both sides. I did get one astute question from my last post, which I will get to at some later date. Today I'll just give some quick updates. I'm on break for the winter. Don't know what's gonna happen, except a trip to Vegas for a weekend. In "recent" events, I had a doctor's appointment for a checkup, and it went well, except I'm suppose to exercise more (HA!), and I passed out as they were taking my blood, and I have to return later for glaucoma tests.

I've never passed out like that before. One moment I was tensing up at having a needle stuck in me. The next, everything was darkness about it and a nurse was telling me to open my eyes while slapping my face. Half of me didn't want to listen to her, considering how much more comfortable it would have been to just close my eyes. The other half was instinctually deciding there was something wrong with that conclusion. Apparently I had totally broken out in a cold sweat and my face was entirely white. But some cold towels, juice, crackers, and lying down restored the circulation.

As for the glaucoma test, that's really just a precautionary measure. The hole for my optic nerve of my is indented a little more than usually. I've always thought that eye a little different. In order to look at my eye, the nurse gave me a dialating solution, so for the rest of the day, I looked like an anime character.

That's about it. And I will take my leave with the cryptic phrase: "Millions of peaches, peaches for me."

Well, someone has to pay for them. Who though is always the question.
