Weekend before the procedure on Monday

Saturday --normal Saturday before the eye work. Even start the drops tomorrow so it is not normal.  So I will enjoy it.  The doctor told me yesterday that she couldn't believe how little medicine I took at 74; that women much younger come in with mountains of prescriptions.   So she was not at all worried about me and neither am I.  I just want to see better and be able to do a crossword puzzle without holding it to my nose and work a room again.

I am also trying to reach out to people in need ...and that includes all of us.  Yesterday, Kathleen Reynolds, a graduate student, came over to work her regular shift.   I always buy her lunch and she said one time that that was her food for the day since she is struggling student.  And then we sit down and eat lunch and watch television.   She loves the news and I asked her something about what she watched at home.  She said she didn't have a television; she had never been able to afford one.   I looked around at my televisions in every room and told her we were going for a ride...and we did...to Best Buy...where I picked out a television and handed it to her.   What a special day for me!  It is definitely better to give than to receive.....but you couldn't tell that from Kathleen's response!  My gift from Jim allows me to reach out in simple ways!

So today, I have little on the agenda.   If a call to do something comes, I will go for it.  If not, I am more than happy to sit here and write.   Bailey Jordan says he has no idea how I will stay off the computer for a couple of days!   And check out the pic of Colin and Adrienne.   He finished his last day of college this week and is heading home!
