Hi, and I've a hell of a nerve writing this but I've just had cataract surgery and can see again without glasses. So I'm sort of glad, except, i no longer have my coke bottle lenses to shield me and it's freaking me out. I feel naked. Like a snail minus the shell, i.e. a slug. I'm pissed off because I'm expected to la-dee-dah start babysitting my grandkids again. [Hey, you can use the pool. Nope, can't. no water in eyes. and I still feel the effects of the anaesthesia. I like being high, and coming back into 95 degree reality is a pain in the...
anyway, I expect to be catered to. I'm sick of
people assuming that because I'm big and used to be an athlete, that I can still do the stuff I
once did.
I'm afraid I'm going to throw a tantrum. when I do, I get major results. Throughout my life I've gone along with the game plan and been a "team player" And often when one is, one is the team while the rest go boating or on vacation, etc.
so I'm pissed. I'm going babysitting. God help the babies.
sorry for this rant, but I'm sick of my family and all their crises. I'd prefer to be left alone, to recover and deal with my new found eyesight. Because I have heart disease, I'm the perfect sucker to get the early morning call...can you watch the kids? Yeah, of course, I'd better...I'm a step-parent and step-grandparent and getting very much sick of rocking the cradle and it's none of my own.
Pardon my self pity, but it's more piss-offedness. cockeyed.

Cockeyed, glad you are getting the eyes fixed... Reckon you won't be cockeyed any longer? (jk)
I can imagine ditching your glasses would leave you feeling naked. But you'll get used to it.
As for the family not pampering you, I don't know what to say abou that. Nor do I know what to say about them taking advantage of you with the BS (that's baby sitting). Throw a tantrum if you have to, and good luck with it...
Take care,
MAL
