A Little Hodge Podge of My Own

1) My eye infection seems to have cleared up. I went back to the eye doc yesterday and he says it looks much better. He said I will have a scar from now on however, due to the ulcerated cornea. When I asked him exactly where it was located in my eye, he said just under my eyelid. (AHA - apparently my afore-blogged STY might be the culprit!) He went on to further say that I was lucky because just another millimeter or 2 and I would have had permanent vision damage. Oh thanks for telling me now. But I am very grateful that it turned out that way.

He said I can go back to wearing my contacts, but I have to say I am a bit nervous. I will try tomorrow.

2) I forgot to mention that I went to the Chrism Mass on Tuesday. This is a Mass at the Cathedral each year on Tuesday of Holy Week to celebrate Priesthood, for priests to renew their commitment to ministry, and to bless the oils that will be used throughout the diocese throughout the year for baptisms, confirmations, anointing the sick, etc. The Mass was very good as usual. I love seeing people from throughout the entire diocese gathered.

After the Mass, as I was transfering trains, I emerged from the subway and there in front of me was the brand spanking new ABC7 news studio. It was about 5:10pm, so the 5pm news was going on. The new studio is basically a storefront and you can look in and see them doing the news live. The anchor desk faces the street, so they are looking right at you practically as they do the news. Ron Magers and Sheryl Burton were the anchors.

I looked a little further to right and there he was at the Weather Center - my man Jerry! He was not on the air at the moment, but he was looking in the camera and making faces. A few minutes later, during the commerical, he was standing up and really hamming it up for us onlookers, waving, making faces, and posing for pictures. I waited until he did his weather forecast and I walked away to catch my next train as the sports started. I commented to a woman I passed, "I NEED to get me a camera phone!!"

That's about it for now. Thanks for visiting - come back again real soon!
