That sounds like an allergic reaction to beta-carotene. I had to have that once for my eyes (it's a dye) and it was awful. I should be having it done every year or so because it's the best way to check the veins in my eyes and I have Macular Degeneration, but they can't do it. So, I have to have a really good eye dr who knows what he's looking at so they don't have to use the dye.
Hope you are better soon.

My second year advisor wrote a text book. I am somewhat astounded, as he never imparted any of the wisdom (allegedly contained) in this text book to those of us who were paying cold hard earned cash to bask in his disdain and teaching ineptitude. (Who's in a bad mood? I'm in a bad mood!!) I s...
Love. Reminds me I need to order your book.

I mentioned vellum a few days ago. Here is one of the better test results. There is gold leaf on the back, hence the yellow tint to it.
I think a Freudian would have a field day with that dream. A shrink once told me that every person in a dream is the dreamer. Make of that what you will.

the weird dreaming continues
In my dream last night I was face to face with this guy from grad school. He's pretty short in real life but in my dream he was a few inches shorter than me and it registered to my dream self that I was exaggerating his shortness in my dream. We were looking eye to eye-ish and I could tell he w...

This afternoon I look at the little space in my car where you can jam some spare change or slide your cell phone and I thought about a little enamel box of grandmas that I used to carry in my old car. I wondered where that box was and I got a little upset not knowing where I had put it. This eve...
I am dying to see it!!
You have my sympathies with Evan problems. My son had some legal troubles and was living far from me when it happened so it was hard to help out. I mean, it was all his fault, he's a complete idiot sometimes, but he's still my baby.
You are in my thoughts, lady.

Holy mother of all illnesses, I am freaking sick again. It is a little bit reminiscent of last June's delightful bout with pneumonia and that puts the fear into me. No more pneumonia!! I average one case very 8-10 years, so last June's two weeks of staring at walls coughing up my intestines s...

dentist ... as usual... but with validation
So, I went to the dentist today to get two crowns put in. As usual the crowns were an odd shape and looked like random white pebbles had been placed in my mouth, so as usual, it's a redo. Since I have been chatting and chatting about being in a Master's program for the past two years, I tucked...
I would love to see more of your work. Do you have a website? I will check Etsy.

awake the entire day!
I didn't realize how utterly exhausted I was after (not) sleeping in the (dirty/creepy/hot) seminary on and off for two long weeks. Yesterday it only took me two naps to get through the day. Same deal on Tuesday, and I probably would have slept all day Monday too except I had to drive Matt to th...

My thesis defense went great. I was second on the list so much less stress for me than some. I really appreciate the attitude of the committee, which is "this is your last chance to be in a learning environment so we want to help you learn a thing or two" in a very nice and not at all threate...
No, I am in Oregon. I will be there in thought.

My numbering is off. Unfortunately the web site I've been using tells me the number of days and hours (and minutes/seconds) until 12:01AM of the day of graduation and that makes it seem a day closer. It's Tuesday and graduation is Saturday so it's 4 today. I've known since day 12, when my classm...
Feel like I have been on the journey with you. I am proud of you. I want to come to your graduation ceremony! lol You did well.

4. But only if you don't count today which hasn't begun. I feel like my mental health is holding up better this trip. Being able to come to utopia on our day off doesn't hurt and neither does listening to my classmates all feeling basically the same things that I am feeling. I think that one...
If you have any problems with Powerpoint, I used to teach it. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Getting so close! I leave for the final session in 2.5 days. Josh returns from camp in 1.5 days. I'll have about 24 hours with him before I have to pack it up. Finally getting somewhere on my oral presentation. I broke down and paid for microsoft office 365 so I could get powerpoint. If o...

My book making frenzy has come to a sad sudden halt. I can't go any farther until I (if I can) silk screen the title onto the cover/spine and when I tried to do that today nothing came through the screen. I suspect I gave the screen too much light exposure, but just incase I am taking it to th...
I totally do remember when your grandma visited through the T.V. I never had any doubts that was what was going on. I am not superstitious or whatever, but I kind of believe in ghosts!
It IS your mom with the pennies. I find pennies all the time so that wouldn't work with me. Maybe now the t.v. and the lights and stuff is Bear Bait? Did you ever think of that? hahaa She might be more likely to make ghostly smells or something, though.
I wanted to let you know that I having to cut way back on my photography because I am going back to school to get my Certificate as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor and I am looking for work. Early retirement is not for me, it seems.
Keep on keepin' on with your school! I can't wait till you finish!

A super long time ago I happened upon my mom all teary eyed having just finished reading a book. She told me she was inspired by this book to tell me that after she was gone from this earth I would know she was looking out for me when I found pennies on the ground. At the time I just said "Oka...
Um, Petrichor.
That's a good title, I think, subtitle - The Scent of Oncoming Rain
or some such.
Good luck

The printing frenzy continues here, how I long to be a more organized person! Yesterday I used the town library conference room and spread out all of my photos on every table top, counter and window ledge in an attempt to organize it all into some kind of sequence that creates little vignettes ...

I was just about to order a second dog DNA test, but I started to read the reviews on amazon, and pretty much tons of people did what I was about to do and say that both tests came back with insane results, so I'm just going to drop it until the day the vet has to take blood for something else a...
I KNEW you were going to come home with a dog! How sweet, so glad you were able to find a pup.

I got a dog. I'm so happy I could cry.
I have looked those! Nice nice camera. Good on you. I am not in school or doing actual work (just art-fart) with mine, so... I love the darkroom more than anything I have ever done before!

One con of attending this not-full-time-in -residency MFA program is that every time I spend two weeks with my people I feel the lack of their presence when it's over. This time around 4 classmates ended up coming home with me to spend a couple of days. It was great to have them here while we ...
Ooooh what medium format camera did you get?? Excited for you, btw.
I got a Mamiya C330 a few weeks ago and then my kids came home from Korea and now my back's gone out so I haven't developed anything yet (I shoot digital AND film, do you do any film?) but I have 2 rolls waiting.
Sounds like your work is coming along great. Happy for you.
Also, sorry about Bear Bait.
