Eyes 1 Ears 0

[copied from dland]

So now I have eyeshadow. I tried taking pictures of my eyes to show you all, but the color didn't come out right, so there was no point. And it was kind of scary, to tell the truth, since I took a separate picture of each eye to show you how my left eye looks all lovely like and my right eye looks all mutant, but in fact, my right eye really looks perfectly fine on its own; it just doesn't look like the left one, and you know, whatever it is your body's got two of, they don't match perfectly, so I'd better get over it. It is, however, more difficult to put eyeshadow on the right eye due to the skin having no muscle tone so it's much wrinklier, but I'll practice. My left eye looks really nice, so I've won half the battle.

My hearing aids, meantime, are the suck. They've been cutting in and out all day, but not even with any kind of warning; it's not as if I hear a signal and they go out. They're just drifing in and out on their own. And every so often I hear random radio sounds, like something out of a 1950s scifi movie. I'm going to the new audiologist a week from Wednesday, and I'm sure it will take several weeks for any new ones I get to come in, especially since I'm hoping for in-the-ear (known as ITEs), which take longer to make because the electronics have to be stuffed into the custom-made ear form, which has to be made first.

I had hoped to go to the make-up store on Saturday with R (so I could get her hooked on it), but the mall was too crowded; I made plans to go after school today with the Sibs instead. We had such a good time! We browsed the shoes at Nordstrom's -- didn't buy -- and took care of some business at one of the cell-phone kiosks, and then I got my eyes done. The girl helping me today was a) not the brightest bulb, and b) had her own eyeshadow on in a somewhat clown-like manner, so the Sibs was indispensable. The girl kept wanting to put three colors on my, including a dark color in the crease, but seriously, my good eye has such a deep crease that you can't see the color at all, and my other eye is somewhat hooded now, so the crease is equally invisible. The Sibs explained how she does it with two colors, and helped me pick out good ones, so that was fun. Then it was 4:00 and we were starving! Just like the old people in Florida, anyway, we went to Ruby Tuesday's, as she had a coupon, and she treated me for a belated birthday dinner! So, an excellent afternoon all around.

And that's all I have to say about that.
