3 Positives:
T’s procedure was a success
time in the studio – all but 2 cards finished
we tasted our first watermelon of the season yesterday (YUM) and put 2 1-gallon bags of sliced strawberries into the freezer for smoothies.

Our Journey Notes:
T’s eye pressures are now in the acceptable range – hoping they’ll stay that way after the yesterday’s needle flap lift. Ted said this eye wasn’t as easy as the right. His eye hurt a little after the numbing meds wore off. Now to focus on the cataract in the right eye.

I got him to switch audio book services yesterday – he’s now listening to a new book. I put his other service on pause for 90 days to see which he likes better. He still has access to the other books until he can download them from the new service. Glad they carry that author as well as a couple more of his favorites and it’s a little cheaper and he can download several books a month without any additional expense.


Some things just evade me… the memory is gone unless reminded, but even then, I still don’t remember the time or day of the happening often. It’s definitely happening more frequently. Thankful for friends and family who let it pass after a correction. Another thing to add to the list for the neuro. As Mom used to say, “getting old isn’t for sissies.” I have creaks and pops where I didn’t have them before. The knees don’t like the stairs, especially in the morning or late evenings. The pain across the middle of my back is here to stay it seems and those tingles down the legs when I put my head a certain way… still there.

be happy

3 Positives:
sanding completed
ministering cards ready to put in the mailbox
last of the monthly bills paid

Our Journey Notes:
Another post-op for T this morning. Hopefully, all will be good and both eyes stabilized and ready for new lenses.
I got a message back from my dr. regarding bloodwork done on Monday. We’re on the right track in stabilizing the TSH again and the A1C is on a downward trend. Both good things.

slow down…

3 Positives:
I haven’t thrown the printer out – yet!
Stack of ministering cards have been completed and are ready for mailing now
3 Spring Tags Reveal begins today

Our Journey notes:
T has an appointment this morning to lift the flap on the bleb. Let’s hope that goes well.
Blood pressure scare for me yesterday… much too high, but I think we discovered the reason why and hopefully, the next couple of days will give us a fuller picture. Good thing I have a dr appointment on Monday.
