I’ve been lazy the last few weeks; thus, no Friday Five. However I actually have things to write about so here goes…
- The last few days have been warmer and sunnier! Talk about a real moral boost! Here we are in the middle of February, and the world is not as dark and dreary at is was a month ago. Maybe that rotten groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, was wrong!
- Miss Heidi had her yearly exam. She is nearly perfect in every way, but her Luxating Patellas have gotten worse, and she will need the first surgery in April, and the second is set for August. She is maintaining her slim figure, which will benefit her recovery.
- We have had so much snow that I hired a man to come with his mini-tractor to push it back, making more room for another snowfall. I also had another man snowblow a good path for Heidi to use.
- I went to the Optician today to be tested and fit for new glasses. My right eye has held up pretty well, doing all the work for both eyes, but my left eye has lost a lot of vision. It was 20/200 before he started fitting the new prescription, and even then, the letters were fuzzy and shadowy. I knew my vision in the left eye was bad, but I had no idea it was this bad.
- So I ordered two pairs of glasses, one for wearing and one for driving (sunglasses). The fact is, I need to wear my glasses all the time now. However, I remind myself that at least I have vision. Last summer, when I was blind in my left eye, it was a very scary time for me. My vision may not be perfect, but at least it’s usable.
So that’s it for this week. I hope you are all happy, healthy, and staying warm.
