Wednesday 'round the house

Back to the Doctor's office in OKC this Friday for the official diagnosis and treatment options, etc. I got most of the information from my other eye Doc in Dallas. So, I have a day and a half of normalcy (or what passes for it) left before I officially become a rare disease. Oh freakin' boy!

So, tomorrow night we'll dress up and go out to dinner. Not sure where we'll go but it will be someplace pretty nice. Hopefully they'll have one of my two favorite desserts, key lime pie and carrot cake. Either one will make me happy, as well as make the diet worthwhile.

Mom returns to her apartment from the nursing home tomorrow. I'm really excited for her. She's been gone for 3 months. Wow! Just realized that her fridge will be a nightmare of spoiled food. On Friday UPS will deliver a huge box of goodies to her. I sent her books, movies, yarn, embroidery hoops, things to embroider, new clothes, yarn, candy and other treats. I'd love to see her face as she goes through it all.

Back to sorting through closets. I have a nearly empty one in a spare bedroom. Next week I'll finish weeding through the Christmas boxes and put what we're keeping in the empty closet. That will free up our front closet so it can be used as a coat closet. This will be a great accomplishment to me, I've been putting it off for a long time. I start on the Christmas items and just stress out after a very short time. Time to buckle down and get it out of the way.

I managed to go through my books again and cull another 50 or so. Most will go on the bookshelves in our guest apartment, the rest I'll probably donate to the local library. I swear that books breed when I'm not looking. I'll set one down next to my desk and the next thing I know, there are 5 or 6 more with it. 

I went to the grocery store with my list and magnifying glasses as well as my 8 x 10 magnifier. It took over 4 hours to get everything. It's hard to shop for things when you can't see them. Some things I got wrong and will live with until I shop again. Every 3 to 4 weeks is about all that I can handle. I did indulge myself and bought a couple of African violets. They do better without bright light, like me.

I saw Halloween as well as Christmas items up in the store. Autumn doesn't begin until Saturday. The news people yesterday announced that there are only 14 more Fridays until Christmas. Heck, I'm still enjoying summer. I'm sure not ready for holidays yet.
