On a Day Like Today

One a day like today it looks like it might rain, the clouds are thick and heavy like your autumn duvet; and in just the same way they trap the heat. On a day like today I never know if I should take a jacket or just go out in my shirt. Wichever I am bound by the laws of the universe or just sods law to be wrong.

Looking forward to the My Chemical Romance album which is out in just over a week. Creatively it's taken a totally different direction and it works beautifully. There are elements of british music like Queen but it is completely their own identity.

Wednesday I went to the opticians to find out about getting contact lenses. The tests were a little on the weird side but I'm sure they make sense. Trust no one but your own instincts even medical professionals are sales people out for their own gain these days.
test Wise she flipped my eyelids up which was pretty disgusting, it didn't hurt but was a little uncomfortable and made me feel weird cos I knew what she had done. Then she put dye in my eyes which flouresced under UV light. Now that was actually pretty cool. She needn't worry though, I know for a fact my eyes water perfectly well. In regards to her ethics I think maybe she failed that module of her degree or just bunked it.
She has told me to go with monthly disposables which work out about 100 quid more a year than the hand made annual lense. this in itself isn't the biggest problem as if I loose one of the monthly ones it's easier to replace so fair enough. The thing is the hand made ones are closer to my prescription and will give me better vision. Obviously I would prefer the daily disposables but they don't do strong enough ones for blind people like me!

Speaking/writing about people with poor ethics we used a damp meter on the house last night to see how bad it was now its been a few weeks since the flood. We are well within normal range for damp yet the Chemdry people are insisting we need to keep the dehumidifiers for another week. I think they are just trying to capitalise on the extra money they will get and I can't blame them but it's made the parrot chew off most of her wing feathers. She looks pretty bad and can't fly at all now.

Am looking to sort out a collar to stop her doing it and a vest as reinforcement that way they will have a chance to grow back.

Insurance people are avoiding giving us the go ahead for the repair work. Need to chase them Monday. All I do both professionally and personally is chase people for informance and answers. It's pretty tiresome, maybe thats how a journalist feels, only my reward isn't a headline and by line it's getting a sale and getting my house fixed.
