The Last
This afternoon was the last of my important yearly medical appointments. It was at the eye clinic here in town. There was no change needed in my lenses. Yippee. There is a test for eye pressure and there is a test for peripheral vision. There is a test for glaucoma. Then the eye drops come for dilation so Dr. Pinke can see the carotids, and into the brain. There has been the slightest macular indication for ten years. It never increases. Yippee. All is well with my vision health and all is well with my soul. A win, win.
I am using the prescribed over-the-counter for dry eyes. Reading and stitching doesn’t harm as long as I have good lighting. Man . . . do I have great lighting, thanks to the Fairfax team.
Yesterday there was a small beef roast in the crockpot and today there is a large kettle of beef vegetable soup. The condensed marinade from the crockpot is giving it a bit of a kick. A Better than Bullion vegetable flavor tablespoon was added. I know there will be several bags of it going into the freezer. When I stopped at the grocer’s this forenoon, I bought a bag of Bird’s Eye vegetable medley: broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. I also tossed in the remaining refrigerator diced potatoes. Dennis said a can of corn was needed. We have all bases covered.
What a great day to be a Minnesotan. Dennis spoke with his son in Arizona this afternoon and he remarked that the snow birds were already arriving into his mobile home park. The heat is still raging there.
Take care my peeps . . . and pups.
