Just Lounging Around
Annabelle's new favorite past-time is sitting on the couch with Danny. She also enjoys any remnants of meals he leaves behind.
More Annabelle
So it's been a while... A few weeks ago Danny and I bought her some new toys... many of which were destroyed (or partly destroyed) within minutes. We also purchased a "toy box" for her at Target. She loves having all her toys in one place for her to rut through.
My last 3 years...
...have been spent here. Since none of you have been able to see where I go to school (except from the outside), I thought I'd include some photos I took yesterday.
These are the crazy crooked stairs. You can't really tell in this photo, but all the steps are angled and very difficult to climb. And the narrow endings would make for disaster in an actual emergency.
This is the entrance to the East Side classrooms (there is also a West Side with a divider between that can be opened to make one large room). Note the flatscreen TV and speaker - our tuition money at work!
This is my current classroom (EAST SIDE!!!!). Note the morning sleeper in the 2nd row.
This is the view from just outside the East classroom doors - looking towards the West side and the bridge to the clinic.
East side sitting area. LOOK - A WINDOW!
Upstairs on the 4th floor is Kathy Katz's 20/20 Diner. The crazy painting and gluing of objects to the wall was her way to bring some color into the diner after SCO painted it all tan.
This is Kathy. She is usually not this happy.
This is a view of the window and the big circular opening on the South face of the building. The library is upstairs and has the other portion of the circle. This floor is one of two with little balconies where you can sit outside.
More 20/20 Diner...
The art on the walls is for sale. A lady who works in the post office on the 1st floor paints them. the ones over the microwave are prints - not hers.
These are the interior stairs in the clinic - they are very loud if you have hard-soled shoes or heels on. If the elevators weren't so slow I would take them more just to avoid the loud, loud stairs. The chairs below are the waiting area for Contact Lens and Vision Therapy patients.
This is what the patient waiting area in the individual clinic suites looks like. There are 8 patient rooms (4 on each side, with 1 doc per side).
This is the inside view of the doctor's station. They can use their computers to see where we are in an exam (peeking at our records as we go). Most of them just play on the internet, though.
This is a typical room. I didn't notice the open cabinet door when I took the photo.
This is a patient chair, phoropter, slit lamp, and keratometer. This is not my room. This chair looks pretty scary, uncomfortable.
This is the bridge to the tower from the clinic - there are LOTS of windows here, but I only average about 7 seconds in here. There is a road underneath which leads to student/faculty parking behind the buildings.
This is one of the rooms in VT. Kids usually love the Wayne Saccadic Fixators (the big reddish-brown boxes on the wall).
The main room in VT. Note Qwirkle on the desk.
This is where I spend HOURS during VT days. My schedule this semester is one patient at 11:00am (we do 45 min sessions) and one patient at 5:15pm. You can usually find me here all other times.
This is the hallway facing the checkout (payment) area. The ladies here are usually not very friendly. I guess their jobs are pretty boring.

I didn't take pics of everything. Maybe later...

Update
ANNABELLE:
JOY:
DANNY:
- I took Annabelle's stitches out last night while Danny distracted her with some treats.
- She took a few steps on the treadmill with Danny last night.
- Her current favorite chew toys are socks (clean or dirty).
- She has been observed sniffing and sometimes briefly carrying the toy ducks.
JOY:
- Part One of boards is on March 17-18. 500 questions. Four three-and-a-half hour sessions. $625. I am supposed to create my own study schedule - how can I anticipate how much time it will take to study each session???
- Still looking for Cookeville living. Have emailed a couple of places. Might try to visit some on Saturday when we are there (attending a wedding in Smithville this weekend)
DANNY:
- Doesn't have much room on the bed anymore - he's letting Annabelle sleep with us because she doesn't want to go out as often at night when she's on our bed. She doesn't bother my side, so I sleep soundly.
