Eye Check up

Morning I hope your all doing well. 

I am going to the eye doctor this afternoon for my annual eye exam.  I get to find out if anything new is going on with my vision.  I’d like to get new glasses but we shall see if it’s affordable.  I took a half day so that I can take my time and don’t need to rush.  I’d like to grab a bite to eat after I am done but that will all depend on my mood and the time of day. 

I’ve kicked around the idea of a Prison Pen Pal again.  My heart is in the right place but I don’t know if it’s something that I actually want to get involved in.  It’s for sure not to look for love just to form a friend.  I mean they are held captive and writing is a way to pass time.  I have done some looking and there appears to be safety mechanisms in place so you can do it all on-line but don’t have to provide your actually address.  That’s fine but still something inside of me is saying hello, this isn’t a real smart idea.  The one thing that I have in common with a prisoner is that I am lonely.

Gay dating hasn’t really paid off for me.  I kind of expected that to be the outcome but hey nothing ventured, nothing gained.  I still have a little bit of time left on the apps but I am not holding my breath for finding a friend much less romance.  Doesn’t mean it can’t happen but I’ve kind of given up on the idea.  Still I keep on swiping to see if something might blossom. 

I’ve got to work on wrangling the trash so that I can push it out when I get home.  Also need to check the air pressure on my tires.  I do that once a month.  It does make a huge difference in ride comfort as well as Gas mileage. 

Speaking of automobiles I have been feeling that New Car Fever again.  I’ve been watching some videos on-line, doing some looking on-line at dealers websites as well as building my own vehicle.  I’m down to two models of SUV but just am having a time with deciding.  One has 3 row of seats, which I will never, ever use but it’s more sporty with some luxury built in.  The other is a 2 row SUV that is pure luxury.  I’m in a luxury vehicle now and honestly really don’t want to give up something like AWD, Heated & Ventilated Seats.  Both of the models I am looking at offer this.  Then there is color I love the color blue but no one seems to make it in the shade I really want.  It’s either really light or really dark.  I am more of an electric or bright blue fan.  With what’s available I am torn between Red, Black and White.  It would be neat if I could mix all 3 in 1 vehicle but that’s not going to happen unless I get a custom paint job.  The other big problem is jumping back into payments.  I wouldn’t need to finance a lot but for sure would need a loan if I was to jump now.  The other option is to wait, continue to save and then potentially plunk down all or mostly all of the cost.  I have learned the skills of patience and waiting, though it’s not much fun.  Right now I am not in any hurry to make a move and will likely just stay put.  However, absence does make the heart grow fonder. 

Life is all about making decisions.  Some of those decisions are easy and others are difficult.  I am at the point in my life where too many options paralyze me and it makes it next to impossible to form a decision.  It would be good if I had someone to bounce ideas off of and they could help me in the decision making process.

Time to head up and pass out lunch for the cats.  I’ve got a little bit of time to kill before I am done for the day.  Then it will be just me and the boss tomorrow.  The best part is on Tuesday for 2 weeks my boss is going on vacation so most of those dumb pointless meetings will not happen and things hopefully will be a bit quieter.  I still have some time to burn before the year is over it’s just a matter of scheduling it. 

Cheers for now!
