got up early, put in my contacts, put on my swimsuit, made sure my swim bag had everything needed in it… and headed to the pool with my buddy…

got there just in time… only to learn all classes had been cancelled this week because of spring break, lol…

this was the second time we’ve been to a Tuesday class… the first time we arrived late because we thought the start time was fifteen minutes later than it actually was… and this time the class was cancelled… I don’t think Tuesdays are our day, lol…

when I got home the good news was that I didn’t need to hang anything up to dry;-)…

too funny…

rejuvenated…

blepharitis, contacts, deodorant, eye, healthy, rejuvenated

I’ve been reflecting on my time on Maui…

I have blepharitis and have to clean my eyes every morning with a soapy towelette… for the last couple of months one eye has been inflamed… it takes ages for these inflammations to resolve… I’ve been using a special ointment every day which also affects my vision a bit… I stopped about a week before we left so that I would be able to wear my contacts while we were there…

I realize that my eye is almost back to normal, even with wearing my contacts all day, every day while we were there…

the other thing I noticed was that I didn’t need to wear deodorant, even though it was very hot the whole time we were away…

was it the ocean, the temperate climate, the air….

don’t know but am feeling rejuvenated;-)…

big girl pants, contacts, remembered, vision, where, widow

on Thursday I picked up my new contact lenses…

I ordered a year’s worth which is what I thought was what I had done previously, but when I saw the size of the package I realized that I had not, lol…

so now I have to figure out where to store them…

but I am absolutely thrilled with my vision…

contacts…

this afternoon I headed over to Graham Avenue to get my contacts checked…

been wearing a few different test lenses for about two weeks and have been very pleased with the improvement in my vision…

with the last contacts I had, I never did get good vision for close up items and long distance wasn’t that great either… I had concluded that glasses were going to be my best option…

she experimented with a different contact and I had to wait a few minutes for it to settle onto my eye…

as I left, got this picture of one of the pop-up parks…

looking forward to the new lenses and better vision…

sadly it is back to glasses as I wait for the new ones to arrive…

choices…

a day filled with choices…  first thing I chose to rush to get ready for work and then sat for 15 minutes, camera in hand, waiting for the purple finch who had stopped at the feeder as I walked through the living room… little beggar never came back while I was there, lol…

put my contacts in for the first time since coming home from Mexico as my infection finally seems to be gone…

was very happy to go to yoga at noon as my side/back is so much better… it was lovely to be in the class again…

headed to the fabric store when I got off work to check out the outdoor fabric options… now I just have to find the picture that I took off my phone about 3 days ago that shows how much I need…

last stop was Safeway to get a few groceries for Sunday dinner… now I won’t have to go out at all tomorrow…

first course of dinner...

first course of dinner…

made dinner when I got home and then had a nap and watched TV… just woke up and went out for a hot tub to discover that it had rained quite a bit while I was napping but although everything was wet, there were no raindrops coming down…

all in all, a wonderful day…
