Busy Week

Lita came Sunday and stayed until Tuesday afternoon. Monday morning she took me to get the cataract on my right eye removed. Tuesday morning she took me for my first follow-up visit--at 8:40 a.m.! I was a little disappointed because the "cobwebs" in that eye are floaters--not part of the cataract. The good news is that if the floaters aren't in the way, the sight in my right eye is MUCH clearer than in the left. Now, only 3 1/2 weeks and the eye with fewer floaters will have clear vision.

Worked at the Humane Society booth at the fair Wed. and Fri. afternoon. Was really comfortable temperature wise in the Merchant's Building for a change.

Couple weeks ago I got a perm. Remins me of the time Beckie gave me a perm just before I started my first year of college. It just kept curling, and curling, and curling. I've washed it a couple times, but have hardly been able to get a pick through it. Wish I knew how to load photos--I'd show you. Then last week, I had red low-lights put in. Those I like!! Sunday morning I was covering a story for the Advertiser. Afterward a young teen-ager looked at me, her eyes opened wide and she saiid, "Your hair is awesome!! That's when I decided to quit complaining and enjoy the time I save on not setting it. Soon enough it will relax, and I'm not sure I will get another one. Will keep it red for a while though.

Guess that's it for this time. Hope life is going well for everyone who reads this--and for some who aren't. :-)

Cataract Surgery

Well, never dreamed a tiny little incision in your eye could tire you out for at least two days. Had it yesterday, and Lita took me back in for follow-up visit this morning. Still have the cobwebs (floaters), but if I close my eyes one at a time, I can definitely see more clearly with the right one. Another four weeks, and we'll see how good it is with both done. Til then, no night driving for me. :-)

Quiet now

House sure seems empty with both girls gone. So often I hear people say, "I'm glad to see the kids come, and I'm glad to see them go." Can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with me, or with them. True, there was a time Sat. when I wished they'd go for a Coke or something so I'd have a little time to pull myself together, but never look forward to them returning to their home.

Trina and I took Bill to the Chinese Buffet for his 75th birthday dinner, then she headed east. She's somewhere in PA tonight. Sure miss having Libby (Bill's step-mom) in Pittsburgh as a stop-over spot.

Here I am!

Trina says I should be able to do this. Actually I'm not sure she's right. Anyhow, she is still here and after she leaves I'll write more and tell you all about how she abuses me.
