Checking my MSN email is always somehwat funny, because I used to use that email address back in high school (I switched to the far superior Yahoo!Mail in my grade thirteen year) and I still occasionally get email there that isn't just random spam, despite that being almost four years ago now.

I'm pretty sleepy for no apparent reason. Today was a crummy day. I had a dentist appointment at 8:30 this morning, followed by the optometrist at 10. The dental hygenist made me bleed. (I know I don't take as good care of my teeth as I ought to, and my Pepsi addiction is slowly destroying the enamel on my teeth, but that doesn't mean you should use the sharp pick-things to gouge at my gums). The optometrist was only marginally better, since I've gone down 3 steps in my left eye and 2 steps in my right, which puts me at about a -7.75 and a -8. bleh. She also dialated my eyes to check my retinas (apparently they're in danger of detaching) and one eye dialated really quickly while the other didn't, which apparently gave me a freaky Marilyn Manson look. Then my eyes stayed dialated for six hours. Grr.

At least it wasn't sunny today.

We went to Barrie to meet Dad for supper at the mall, and I bought a cool Star Wars book for Mike, and a neat black and white giraffe postcard. I decided to go bug him at work (he works at Black's Photography) for a bit; it was nice, as always, to see him. Now if only I had an idea of waht to get him for Christmas...I need something meaningful. Silly boy.

I am giving up Pepsi. This may not seem like much, but I've been drinking anywhere from one to two litres a day for the last...four months (give or take) and it's gotten to the point where I have to give it up. Wish me luck, as I don't know if I can do it.
