well I am back in work... and starting at 5am! Ouch! I'm a bit hazed by such a start but it's great to be back in a newsroom. And back in work.
Still busy with all the website stuff. And lots to do round the house.
Still keen to talk about all sorts of stuff... :-) Dean 3:17:00 AM

Good news! My risk of getting glaucoma is very small! ยท I had a bit of a scare in that respect last November when my optometrist noticed something when I was being fitted for new glasses. So I was packed off to an ophthalmologist... poked and prodded in my eyes (I can't stand anything being put in my eyes) and referred back for follow-ups just in case. Today the word came down officially that I don't have glaucoma and have very little risk of getting it. I am mightily relieved.
Other fiddly bits in my life: My mom was supposed to have a bone spur removed from her finger yesterday, but the anaesthesiologist wouldn't put her under because her blood pressure was too high... extraordinarily high for her. So she went to see the doctor (my old doctor, who I left this year due to a change in insurance), and we'll see about the finger in a couple of weeks.
And, I'm now on my new computer! P4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, 6xUSB, 3xFireWire, CD-RW, DVD. Won it for $575 at CompUSA Auctions. Woo! I can now do more than one thing at once!
Not got much to report, but it's Sunday evening (quarter to 7, unlike what the date stamp says) and we're heading off to the pub quiz soon. I've got the men of one of my favourite groups sounding like a bunch of Spanish drunks on my CD player, and I'm enjoying it. Bought lots of new music over the last week, so am pretty happy lately. Have a good week, folks! Nattie 5:49:00 PM
