This week has had more than its share of ups and downs. I'm still struggling with the blurry distorted vision that's going to be "the norm" for me until I qualify for and complete the cross-linking treatment and quality of life is, needless to say, quite low. I haven't felt like being on the computer much and most of my typing, browsing, and clicking is just from memory alone - it's funny how that can take over and compensate for the loss of vision. I know where to click and a lot of things are just by rote memory alone. Not the best week to have challenged myself to post every day, that's for sure.
Please keep your fingers crossed that things get better for me soon! I'm trying my best not to fall into depression or wallow in my bed over how I can't see properly because that won't really accomplish anything. But this really, really sucks. Blogging is helping with that.
The biggest purchase this week that I'm really sad I missed out on is the MAC LE Riri Woo lipstick, which has a lipstick bullet with Rihanna's signature engraved in. I really really wanted it too! I'll have to wait until June and the next Rihanna/MAC collection.

ReplyDeleteI was shocked at how much I've spent in the first place, even though I'm very conscious of shopping deals and sales or buying in bulk....it still adds up!
