i can't imagine what it would be like to wake up one day and find that you are blind. similarly, i can't imagine what it would be like to wake up one day and realise that you can see. the latter has just happened to the husband of someone i work with. he went blind in one eye when he was 16 and the sight in the other eye started to fail as he got older. he's now in his 50's and hasn't seen the world in all its glory for many years, but the other day he woke up and, by some miracle, found that he could see again, with both eyes! he must have been totally freaked out. she was probably freaked out too because for the first time in their relationship he can actually see her. (ps that's not to suggest she's hideously ugly...just that it must be strange).

the girl in the cubicle next to me is getting married soon. i can't remember a time when she was wasn't organizing things for this one day event. i'm not the best person to talk to about weddings since i have a certain amount of dissatisfaction with my own. she started complaining about how stressful it was dealing with her mother-in-law and with the gift registry. so i pointed out that i didn't have either of these things and she should probably think herself lucky. that more or less shut her up. i think i might have surprised her with my reaction, i know i surprised me.

tonight the CG is dining out at lickerish with a client (or so he claims :)) and thus i am going to be home alone with plate of left-over chicken and a few hours of free "me" time. i've decided to use that time wisely and have a serious wardrobe purge, mainly to make room for the heaps of fabulous new clothes i plan on buying. i'm not a wardrobe purge virgin. in fact its something i feel a need to do at least every 6 months or so. unfortunately the event usually goes the same way. first i put every item of clothing that i own in a big pile on the bed, then i hang two (or if i'm lucky three) items back up, then i throw an old pair of socks away and then i get completely bored and stuff everything back into the bottom of the wardrobe. the CG absolutely hates it when i do this. i figure it will serve him right for dining out without me.

for a long time vancouver used to be the top city in the world to live in. now it's been relegated to third place. i guess i'll just have to pack my bags and move to geneva. on the other hand, in vancouver i can afford to live in a beautiful downtown apartment, i wake up to a view of the city and the snow tipped mountains, i have a 20 minute walk to work and after work i can snowboard in the winter and lie on the beach in the summer. i'm not sure that i could do that any where else in the world.
