I wonder...

 If Molly is starting to mellow or if it was because I was scratching behind her ears.

Today Dave and I took her to the vet to get her nails trimmed and she was actually really good. Usually she acts up, growling and trying to get away. Today she only growled twice and that was when the vet accidentally cut her nail too short. She also stayed still and didn't thratch about at all.

I don't know why she was so good but it was a nice surprise.

It's Back On!!

 Tahe cataract surgery is back on!

I went for a cataract evaluation was today and everything looked great. The doctor said that my eyes looked very healthy, thank you eye vitamins.

The first surgery which will be on my left eye is scheduled for January 28 and the one for my right eye is February 14. I can't wait!

The Election is Over, Yeah!

Let me start by saying that I didn't vote for Trump but I had in the past two elections. And no, I didn't vote for Harris either. I used my Constitutional right to write in a candidate. I'm not going to say whose name I wrote in either. But, you will not seeing me criticising those who did.

I cannot believe the comments made by those who voted for Harris against those who voted for Trump. Some were downright hateful. To call people you don't even know morally corrupt? Come on people, I know you didn't like the outcome, but to berate people because of who they voted for? It won't change their vote or their minds. It just shows them how closed minded you are.

Those who do this need to ask themselves how they would feel if they were spoken to in that manner  because they voted for Harris.

A Road Trip Back Home

Dave and I made the trip back to my hometown for my 50th high school class reunion. We had a nice time and my two best friends were there plus another classmate we were all friends with. It was good seeing everyone who attended and I was sad that a couple I wished would have come, didn't.

I still can't believe that it's been 50 years! Where did all that time go? 

Aside from my class reunion, we spent time with my family and an old friend that I didn't get to see last year when we were there. We had good times with all of them. My oldest sister's youngest grandson also had a birthday and we helped them celebrate that. Also, the Steelers won! A good night

The night before we left; I wish I had booked a longer trip; my sisters, brother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law took us out to dinner. We laughed so hard at old times, which when they happened weren't so funny.  I had run to the ladies' room and on my way back to the table, I heard my brother say the nicest thing to Dave. I wish I had heard the whole conversation, but  Dave told me what it was about.

At the end of the night I think I hugged everybody but my brother-in-law. If I didn't, I'm sorry Bill. I meant to, I really did. Next time, I promise.

Canceled!

 Although I was scheduled to have the last of my cataract surgeries this week, neither happened. The surgeon wanted to reexamine my left eye and after that examination, the surgeon canceled the surgeries. He determined that I might have glacoma in that eye, so he postponed the surgeries until I have it reexamined on October 28. So, rather than being glasses free for my class reunion, I will still be wearing them. Bummer!

Let's hope that the reexamination results in the surgeries being rescheduled.

Cataract Surgery

Well, I am scheduled for cataract surgery for August 27. First, however, the surgeon wants to recheck my left eye. Apparently they detected a problem with the nerve in that eye, so I go to have that rechecked on Tuesday morning. I'm also going to ask if I can change my choice of lense. If not, then I guess I'm stuck with the one I originally chose. Wish me luck. I will keep you all posted.

Dave is Retiring

Tomorrow is Dave's last official day working. As of 3:00pm he will be officially retired. 

I have to admit that I'm worried. Let's face it, he earned a nice paycheck. I liked having that money coming in. It worries me that we won't have that anymore.

Thankfully the house and cars are all paid for.

I hope my worrying is for nothing.
