Thunderstorms

My ex-girlfriend, Jen, loved thunderstorms. She said they were beautiful and intense. She was ignorant because they are nothing to be enjoyed.

Five minutes ago, a close lightning strike and a extremely loud bang of sudden thunder startled me and provoked my panic reaction. 

The Zoloft is keeping it from becoming a full-on panic attack but if it happens again, then yes. 

I have had some rough nights in the past with bad storms, the power going out, huddling scared in the dark as the weather I normally love rages outside. 

That hasn't happened in a long time but this is an El Nino year and that means more stormy weather than there has been in the past few years. 

It has not been really hot yet. The last few years, this time in May was scortchy. The summer is yet to come but if it isn't too hot, will you still deny climate change? You are fool if you do. 

I am panicky right now but hopefully, I can calm down. 

I hate thunderstorms.

Eye Exam

You might have noticed that I wear glasses. I have since I was 12. I have highly moderate myopia, blurrily blind without them. Sometimes it was worse. Like after the comprehensive eye examination I had yesterday. I could not bear to look at a white screen for hours after that.

Dilation is used to look for glaucoma and cataracts. I have a slight cataract but as an overnight person, it won't get too bad for me.

Everybody gets a cataract so take care of your eyes.

My vision is stable, changed only a pale fraction in a good way. I will get new glasses soon.

The dilation is caused by a stinging and cold feeling eye drop used by the eye doctor. I am posting a picture of my 'bad' left eye.

This is what it did to my eyes...
