Not a whole lot going on here but thanks for stopping by. Friday was just blah boring usual workday and time got away from me before I realized I hadn’t posted anything.
Went to see the new Eye Doctor. Things went okay and I am pleased with the service and exam that I got. What I think is going to cause an issue is that they are billing my medical insurance for the exam, which I don’t believe is covered. I’m told that I have enough going on that they can get away with billing this to medical insurance. If they don’t pay they are going to invoice me. If I get a bill then I will have to argue that they need to submit the claim to my vision insurance and then I will owe my co-pay. This is the first time anyone has billed my medical insurance for an eye exam. Photo Fundis is covered by my medical. They preformed that service. What’s interesting is that the last eye doctor I saw told my PCP that I had the begging stages of diabetic retinopathy. The new doctor said that my eyes are perfectly fine from a diabetic standpoint. He said words that I didn’t think I’d hear until I was at least a decade older but I apparently have the start of cataracts. It’s at stage 1 and very slight. He said that it’s not uncommon with folks who have diabetes at my age. We tend to get them earlier. I have Blepharitis which I knew about and he asked if I was interested in going for a consult to check to see about surgery. It’s plastic surgery and it may or may not be covered by insurance. My eye lashes on the top lids grow downward and are almost touching my eye. It only bothers me occasionally but those are words you don’t want to say if your looking to get insurance to cover the procedure. For now I am letting things be. He suggested an eye lash curler and I told him I’ve tried it but it doesn’t work so well for me and I don’t get how ladies do that to their eye lashes in the first place.
My eyes have seen a lot in 53 years that I’ve been on the planet and I imagine there will be much more to see. They served me really well for the first 40 years of life but ever since then it’s been a slow decline. Starting with single vision glasses, then progressive lens. The Blepharitis has been a thing that I noticed in my late 30’s and was told that it could be surgically corrected if I wanted. I’ve done well thus far so that’s why I am tending to let it be. If it becomes a huge major problem then I’ll get it addressed. I am just not crazy about going under the knife for anything unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s about the recovery process and potential physical limitations that turns me off.
Watched Lee Daniels The Deliverance on Netflix. I am not about horror movies and tend to scream like a little girl. I am surprised that didn’t happen while I watched this movie. It was interesting and demons as well as the afterlife are something I have been taught are very real. Simply put you don’t fuck with it, let it be. Don’t try to talk to the dead or summon them.
Had my usual Friday night / Saturday morning insomnia. I don’t know why this kicks in without fail regardless of what I do short of taking a super high dose of sleeping medicine. However, I really wasn’t crazy about getting going this morning but I pushed through it.
Went out for Mexican at the close to home place. It was pretty good. Started out with me and one other couple there. By the time I left the place was starting to fill up. It was a nice fall day but we had some summer like temperatures by the afternoon.
Just enjoying what’s left of Saturday. I will be on to my usual Sunday routine and I have to go to Target. I get my Birthday 5% off that will expire on Monday if I don’t use it. I am not in the habit of leaving money on the table and besides that it’s been a close call with the cat treats. They got to have those or Mora will drive me crazy. She looks forward to that like her brother looks forward to play time before bed. Interesting on what makes each of them happy. They both partake in treats and play time.
For giggles I went new car shopping on line last night. Turns out the dealership has plenty of stock and there are some good deals right now both with discounts as well as financing. I ran some numbers and looks like I can afford it, I would be back in payments which is something that I don’t want. Besides that right now my car spies on my a little bit. All new cars are super invasive when it comes to data about you. I’m not keen about that. However, the biggest thing is the quality control I don’t feel like what is being produced right now has quality in mind, there have been lots of recalls and I honestly don’t want to buy something new to find out there is a recall or worse yet have it break down. What I have works might not have all of the latest and greatest features but it’s paid for and unless there is some offer that is just too good to pass up I plan on keeping it at least until around this time next year. Everything is subject to change but that’s how I feel at the moment. I have had new car fever for years and years. If I get something new I can drive it for a week and I am ready to trade. I really love what I have, there is a special connection there, once I get rid of the vehicle that connection is gone and I don’t know that I will have it with another vehicle but I do hope so.
That’s it for my rambling. Hope your weekend is enjoyable!
