Working from home today. Well, sorta working. :) I went in to the office this morning and my eyes were driving my batty with the itching and the burning and the oozing, so I finally said screw it and went to a walk-in clinic. The nurse quickly diagnosed pinkeye, and gave me a prescription for the antibiotic eyedrops. Frankly I was hoping for a prescription for a stronger antihistamine to deal with the allergies making me miserable in the first place, but oh well. Maybe it's the pinkeye making me miserable at this point, so we may as well knock that out before it gets worse. Since it can be pretty contagious, my employee talked me into working from home the rest of the day. So here I am.

It did give me a chance to edit the photos from last night! It was a pretty nice day, so we headed for EPCOT Center after I got home from work. Which probably didn't help my eyes, especially since the Flower and Garden festival is underway. But oh well, we had a good time. I took Hermione and Amy on Test Track--they tried that for the first time recently and became fans. Hallie tried it too, but the look of terror on her face for the last bit of the ride makes me understand why she's not interested in going on it again. :) now I need to drag someone onto the Tower of Terror with me! And Space Mountain. And Expedition: Everest. I think Amy will be up for anything and everything when she's tall enough.

Not too much else going on, really. I'm gearing up for my Canada trip, which begins a week from tomorrow. And starting to pick dates for my next round of work visits. But I've mentioned all that already, so yeah.

Okay, enough for now. I think Heather and the girls are heading to the library soon, which will mean I'll have some time to watch a movie on the tv. Nice! I hope everyone's week is going well, and that your eyes are not oozy like mine.

Sorry to hear about your pink eye. I haven't had it in years but it's no fun. And if I'm not mistaken the oaks are probably blooming. I do not miss that at all.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your Canada trip. I think you mentioned you're going to Barrie? I drove past there on the way to my parents' cottage in northern Ontario 2 summers ago and I'll probably be going back that way again. Of course Barrie is pretty much the last civilization there is for hundreds of miles....or so it seems.

Yep, the oaks taunt me with their branches full of fluffy doom-filled catkins. I think we're passing the peak of it, but it's been a rough couple weeks!

I wish I knew what my schedule would be like so I could make more definite plans for the Canada trip! I have a list of some things I'd like to check out, mostly around Toronto, and if time permits I would like to drive down to Niagara to see the falls. We'll see. I'll certainly have my camera ready to go!

I think I read once that something like 90% of Canadians live within 50 miles of the southern border. Makes sense, if you go much more north it's tundra! :)

That's a fantastic capture!

Thanks! I happened to notice the nice clouds and realized I haven't done much HDR work with the iconic Spaceship Earth ball, thought it was worth a try. :)

That picture of Canada on your Flickr page -- AMAAAAAZING.

Thanks sir! That was a bit of a lucky grab--I set the shutter for 10 seconds, plopped the camera down on a bridge railing, and hoped for the best. I wish I'd been able to get a little more of the water in frame, and a smaller aperture would have made the starbursts even better. Next time. :)
