Yesterday, having put it off for most of the week already, I went and paid for two private scuba sessions and a private open water certification, all to be scheduled later, but the certification will be sometime in August. One of the problems last time was that, because it takes me a while to get into a 7mm wetsuit, I felt like I was holding up the rest of the group. So by being one on one with an instructor for the certification, I remove that particular slice of anxiety. The one on one pool sessions are because I suspect that over the course of the winter I've probably developed some bad habits messing around by myself, and I'd like to know about them.

Finally we're having my favorite weather: between 65 and 85, and dry. Now can we please have weather like this through the middle of July?

I moved my eye appointment up to two weeks from now instead of late August, because my left eye is not properly corrected these days and it's driving me insane. I'd like to be able to tell which bus is coming by more than pattern recognition (if it's got one longish word and three little words after whatever the number is, it's a 60. If it's got one longish word and one little one, it's a 65). I used to be able to actually read the words, and the number, from at least a block away. When I called to change the appointment, I said I wasn't really comfortable driving. Which is perfectly true in that, if I had to drive anywhere, I wouldn't be comfortable doing it with vision like I've got right now. I just wanted the doctor's office to take me seriously instead of trying to make me wait for the August appointment.

After taking Fridays off for three months, as of this week I still have 29 vacation days saved up. I should probably take more vacation in general.
