Nice Afternoon

Happy Friday!

I had a nice afternoon.  A little tricky commute to the eye doctor because the exit I needed to take from the freeway was closed.  However, Waze got me there via a different route.  It’s the only time that I turn the voice turn by turn on.  It’s a bit chatty for me but I don’t see how anyone that uses the app can possibly get lost because it really “mother hens” you all the way there. 

I forgot to ask a question but hey there is always next year.  It’s honestly not that important.  The visit it’s self was super quick.  In and out like I was at a quick oil change place.  Cataract has grown a little bit but is still in the very early stages.  My prescription has changed. 

I looked at Frames and honestly it’s a lot of choices and tough for me to decide.  I wanted to talk about changing the lens in my existing daily wear pair (that I don’t wear).  I wanted to go back to wearing them.  Then get a new pair of computer glasses.  Well they kept me waiting so long that I kind of lost interest.  I just put the person through their paces to get me a quote.  Turns out that it was slightly more expensive than I thought it would be.  I’m getting computer glasses on my own through Warby Parker.  Next year I will get new daily wear glasses.  Meanwhile I am going to try to be more diligent about wearing them.  Starting slowly and then hopefully moving up to full time.  Only rule I have is that I have to take my glasses off when I eat.  I hate the feeling of chewing and feeling the frames on my face, something about it just doesn’t sit right with me. 

I always wanted glasses and well now that it’s a requirement for at least the computer, I hate them.  Kind of like when you were a kid and wanted to be an adult.  You soon find that it’s not all that it you’d thought.  I’m not into poking my eye so I will never be a contact guy.  They require so much work.  My brother and mom had them.  Nothing but trouble. 

Anyway after I finished up at the eye doc.  I headed out for an early Lupper (that’s lunch and supper combined).  It was 3:30p and I didn’t get my food until 4p by the time I arrived and got waited on.  Had a large fish sandwich and some onion rings.  The onion rings came with a sauce and I managed to spill a little bit on my shirt.  Not something that happens often but now and then.  Little did I know that would turn in to quite the tasty treat for Mora.  Thankfully it wasn’t spicy but it looked like it was. 

Had a nice drive home and that’s where I have been ever since.  Looking forward to my massage later this evening.  Then a weekend where I am free, except for buying cat food.  Here is hoping that isn’t as difficult as it was 2 weeks ago. 

Chatted last night with my Thanksgiving friends.  Confirmed what I already knew that Rudy’s chin biting is nothing more than a love bite.  They thought it was super cute.  Yeah it is but it hurts a little bit.  He uses light pressure but it’s still firm enough so that I know he was there.  Mora does some nibbling too but on my fingers and not my face.  Nothing much new but it was a nice conversation.  I’m ready for our next get together which unless something changes will be Thanksgiving.  Hard to fathom but it’s true. 

Coming back to work this morning there wasn’t much email but there was quite the work to do.  I’ve already knocked it out.  The mistake maker is off today.  The old timer I work with is taking time to go to a funeral so it’s just me and the boss.  Boss is on vacation after today – hip hip hooray!  Two weeks of freedom for me. 

Dealing with some back pain that has plagued me on and off over the last couple weeks.  Kind of feels like my degenerative disc issue is starting to catch up with my body.  Thinking of having a nice soak in the tub.  That will be interesting to see how the cats react, I’ve wanted to try it for a while now.  However, I am much more of a shower person.  I can tell you for sure that I have a date with the heating pad. 

Looking forward to eating Steak & Cheese sandwich for supper.  I’ve got two of them but only plan on eating 1 of them prior to my massage.  Hopefully, it will be a calm afternoon and I can squeeze in an early supper.  I like to eat early before a massage just to give my body time to digest the food before I go laying flat on a table for an hour. 

Have a nice weekend!
