Accomplishing things

Back to the eye specialist tomorrow. I wonder if the medication will show any slowing of the disease at the three week mark. I need for it to work, it's my only chance to retain some sight awhile longer. Other options are too risky. No established treatment and no cure are terms I'm thoroughly sick of hearing and reading.

Company will come next week instead of this one. Gives me more time to get the closet done and the house back in order.

 One thing on my shopping list is a lovely carpet for the closet floor. Although small, I want it to be a real jewel of a room, pure pleasure to open the doors to every time. 2x8 will take care of it. Small runners are pretty inexpensive and will be an easy solution.

Pouring rain today, something we really need here in Oklahoma. The dog and cat came through the pet door thoroughly soaked. Of course Demeter immediately jumped on our bed, and Layla jumped in the planter full of begonias. Guess that explains the flattened flowers that had me puzzled. So, I need to repot a flower and change the sheets......

There was a home improvement show on earlier that I cringed through. The husband had to fight and battle with his wife in order to have a chair of his own. A chair, one place just for himself to sit and relax, one thing of his own that is what he wants to use after a hard day's work. Also, he was working hard on the remodel along with the show's hosts to save his family money. The wife would rage at him when she disliked something, at one point asking if he was drunk or dumb. If she was that nasty on camera you have to wonder what she is like when the film crew isn't around. I was mortified watching that kind of behavior.

I'm anxious for the hyacinths to come up and bloom. There are 6 blue (purple?) planted and there is blue aquarium gravel on the top of the pot to keep the cat out. They should smell great. There is a bag of the bulbs under the sink and I'll stagger planting them every couple of weeks. I think it will be a fun addition to our home.

Most of the clothing is on hangers in the hobby room. Now to photograph every piece along with accessories and shoes so outfits can be put together on the computer, printed and all in a binder. I figured out a system to identify each piece. Now to figure out how to label it all. It will be a relief to have a way to dress the way I want to without seeing the clothing. Doing the bedroom closet and the wardrobe at the same time will work out perfectly.

Darling Husband came home and within a matter of minutes got called back in. He works so hard to provide a wonderful life for us, not just at his job, but also here around the house. There is always something that he's fixing or improving to make our life better. I love that he enjoys doing things here at home, especially in the gardens. Between us the place looks spectacular. Every year it gets better as we think of things that we'd like to do or have to have the environment that we want around us. He is special and makes my life a magical place, one I want enjoy for the next thousand years or so.
