Twas a cold morning. Frost on the lawn and leaves. That’s the first frost I have seen this winter.

Oh wait, it’s not even winter yet. Oh well. Oh cold.

Fed the animals today. Cold, cold hands. Water and buckets and sliding doors with metal handles. Cold, cold hands. The sun started coming out as I was getting done, though. Warmed me up a bit. Other than the cold everything was fine. Lots of sweet animals. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Too tired to get them done now.

Hey, there’s less than a week till the Greenland trip. It’s almost time to panic now. Almost. You know, when I figured I was going blind and all there was a part of me that thought “well if I’m going to get emergency laser surgery then maybe I won’t have to go on the Greenland trip”. Always look on the bright side.

There have been no drastic changes to my eyesight so far. I’m not blind yet. I am even sort of getting used to the floater in my eye. It’s not so annoying anymore. At least I don’t feel like clawing my eyes out. So that’s a plus. I could learn to live with the floater. Sometimes I make it dance in tune to the music I’m listening to.

I have made a shopping date with my dad. He’s going to come downtown and meet me when my appointment at the eye doc is done. Then we’ll go buy boots. He took a look at my old boots and proclaimed that nope, they would not cut it in Greenland. I don’t know if you have heard, but it’s cold in Greenland. So I’m going to buy new ones. And they’re going to cost me a thousand (Danish) bucks. That’s a lot to spend on footwear. Much, much more than I would usually spend. But I am assured that not only will my feet be nice and warm in Greenland but the boots will last me a lifetime back here in Denmark too. So I guess it’s worth it in the end.

I also need a hat. As much as I love the cap Debster got me, it won’t keep my ears warm I’m afraid. So a warm hat. Maybe some new gloves too. The ones I have now aren’t very handy. The fingers are too long. It makes it hard to operate a camera while wearing them. I hope I can find something that better fits my stubby little chopsticks.

But enough about me. Let’s go to sleep.

So I got myself an appointment with the eye doc. Monday morning, 9 o’clock. They didn’t have time for me today. But the secretary I spoke to said that if there were any drastic changes over the weekend then I should call the eye clinic at the hospital or the… vagtlæge. What’s that called in English? The emergency on-call doctor outside of doctor’s office hours. Yes. She didn’t sound too worried, she said it could be nothing serious. So I’m feeling somewhat less distraught over the whole thing now. Also thanks to an excellent note form Desirée. Thank you for that. Assuming I don’t go blind over the weekend then we’ll see what the doc says on Monday. And hey, at least I got something to take my mind off the Greenland trip and the christmas party!

Also, sorry about the downtime. My host had some database issues over the night. Everything’s just going brilliantly these days I must say.
