Leaving for Chi-Town and other updates


Hey! I know it's been a minute. How are you? Here's what I've been up to, and why you haven't been hearing from me:

Blue Eyes Messy Hair will be relaunching soon. I've got myself a new design and even a new URL (to be announced), but there's a lot of work to be done around transferring the old content from this website to the new one. So far, it sounds like this has to be done manually, which means… I need a nice chunk of time to get it done. But this is exciting! More details to come, but until that launch, expect content on here to be a little haphazard. :/

The Chicago move is just days away. We are really getting ready. In fact, Michael is officially moved out of his place, and last week we signed a lease on an apartment. Then yesterday we had a going-away party, which was just oodles of fun. Michael will be moving our stuff up (thank you, best boyfriend) in mid-August while I stick around Houston to keep working. Then we'll meet up in Austin for a good friend's wedding, blow it out that night, and fly to Chicago the next day. Peace out, Houston!…ish. I just found out I'll then be working here until early October. Ah, the consulting life.

We got robbed. Actually, home invaded - the difference being that a "home invasion" happens when the robber enters your house while your'e in there. In our case, this meant while we were sleeping on a Wednesday night. Long story short, WE'RE OKAY and that's what matters. And he took a lot of gadgets, which can all be replaced. Weirdest of these is that some of these gadgets (cell phones, iPad, etc.) were sitting right next to us while we slept. Yes, it was crazy. Yes, I've been able to sleep through the night since. At this point (a week and a half out) it mostly feels like a dream.

I've been launching myself into extra-curriculars, and it's been stressing me out. I generally like stacking my plate a little too high, but lately it's been too much. It started when I committed to a new workout schedule, which has been incredible. It ramped up when I signed up for a certification test for work, thinking I could just knock it out after a few week's of study. (Wrong.) It escalated from there with a short but intense writing class (that I highly recommend!), which ended just as a photography class got going. Yikes! I'm actually a little mad at myself for committing to so much in such a short time, while I'm supposed to be moving and also, you know, doing a good job at work. I'm honestly ready for everything to be over. Get me to Chicago, let things calm down.

I hope you have a great rest of the summer! I'll write again when things are a little calmer and hopefully will do so on the new site!!

  3. The causes of red eyes can often be a mystery. Patients have reported dry eye problems induced by CPAP machines. Eye problems reported with CPAP therapy include dry eyes, red eyes, swollen eyes (skin around the eyes), and redness of the eyelids and face around the eyes. Simple measures can provide solutions to these symptoms most of the time. https://visualaidscentre.com/service/eyes-specialist-delhi/
