Oof. The old glasses I'd been forced to wear had been giving me a headache, and now the new ones are giving me a headache as I try to get used to the correct prescription again. Ibuprofen is my friend tonight.

That said, I am so, so grateful to Andrea for picking them up for me, and I do really like the way they look. I'll see if I can get 'round to posting a picture later tonight. It's nice to be able to see this well again too.

Today, despite it being slow at work, was long and cold, and that feeling of wishing I was in bed under the covers with my sweetie never really went away. It was just so very nice to be greeted by her tonight and to spend a few minutes being smooshy before going off to work on computer stuff.

There was a brief suggestion of watching some Babylon Five tonight, but the raccoon seems to have fallen asleep. She wasn't feeling so well after dinner. Hopefully napping will help.

For my part, I've been a busy boy tonight. I posted my guitar and a server on Craig's list (and already have a nibble on the guitar!), and posted three hard drives and a Tipping Point network security appliance that work was getting rid of to Ebay. I really don't know how to sell this Tipping Point thing. I hope I didn't blow four bucks by setting that high a starting bid for it. I couldn't find any of them listed elsewhere on Ebay, but I know it was pretty darn expensive when new (like in the five-figure range). I also don't know if the hardware does any good without a software contract with the company, and how transferable such things are and whether it would make sense for someone to buy one of these without a company contract accompanying it. Oh well; we'll see how it goes.

And, since I was taking pictures of other techy things, here's a picture of me with the new specs. As I noted, the frame is copper instead of my usual black. I think it really brightens up my face, and Andrea says it brings out the green in my eyes, though you can't really see it in this light.



Anyway, I think I'm going to go shower, and then install Trillian for doing IM stuff while I balance the checking account again. *yawns* Quiet nights are really good sometimes.
