Buzzy!

This morning I have an appointment to get my eyes checked. I do not enjoy these and would put this off for another year except it's getting harder to read fine print and my eyes are so itchy. Probably nothing to be done about either but getting them checked won't hurt ... it will annoy but not hurt. At least the doctor is nicer than the one he replaced. I am so old. Still bitching about a doctor who has been gone now for probably five years.

My plan is to go right to the pool after the eye doctor. My lane reservation is at 11. I will probably get there way too early. I should come up with a plan to amuse myself between the time I get there and 11.

I could get gas. I am burning through the stuff like crazy. Ugh.

The Marines are on the east coast this week so baseball at 4 pm which suits me perfectly.

worth it? not worth it? worth it? not worth it?

The drive to the pool was horrible today. The drive home was only marginally better. The swim was good but good enough? I just don't know. I think I'm going to try one more time on Thursday. I may just be confined to swimming on weekends and holidays. I don't like being in the car that much when it's good. But sitting in between trucks is just stressful. I spent a lot of my swim worrying about the drive home. Yuck.

The eye doctor appointment set the mood and I do not mean that in a good way. The tech person who does all the testing stuff had this tiny girl high pitched voice and talked to me as if I was 12. She looked to be in her 30's. I just kept my mouth shut and responded when I needed to and ignored her otherwise. I did note that she really needed to go up a size on her scrubs.

The doctor was in an gynormous hurry which was fine by me. I wanted out of there. No glaucoma. YES! No wet macular degeneration. YES! And still only the barest of hints of dry macular degeneration. Generally he likes to see geriatric patients every six months but he said I was good for another year. Woot! I was so ready to get out of there that I forgot to stop by and see if I owed them anything. Oh well, they know where to find me.

I did just look in MyChart and he left me lots of good notes about eye itching and dry eye and eye irritation that I didn't even know I had. But, it's a nice list of what to do about what in the old people eye issue department.

Now I'm home and all caught up with me. It is still miraculously cool in here. So another night of blissful sleeping ahead. Nice.

Next up is knitting. Time to start on the sleeves. I want to get them finished and then I will go back to the sweater body and can make it as long as I want or as long as there is yarn left.
