It’s a work in progress but everything should work now

 

The car goes in for a check…

I get to sit in the waiting room. Fun...not so much. It's been nearly a year since we bought it. 2000 miles we've put on it. And we're getting about 45 mpg on the highway and more than 50-something in town. We were filling the Forester's 15 gallon tank once a week or...

Jane’s computer ‘sploded last night…

The solid state drive on her HP laptop went flooey---the machine overheats, chronically, and it went. This is Not A Good Time for various reasons. I think overheating and solid state drives are not a friendly situation. Don't know what we're going to do, but we really...

Got my contacts: glasses have to wait…

...until my eyes 'settle.' I've been wearing a slightly wrong prescription for reading for over half a year. This has an effect: eyes and brain are real good at doing a 'Hubble Telescope' type correction, and they have to learn that program has been changed. So the...

I hate having my eyes dilated…

Pita. It's at least a cloudy day. But the stuff is not readily wearing off! But I did get the exam, regular doc in her new clinic, and I'm much happier. Going for the usual reading glasses with contacts, driving glasses if the contacts alone won't do it; and reading...

Today we’ve done a shade of housework, trying to bring order…

We're so resolved not to let the house go again. Cleaning the kitchen. Getting into the mixed bag of stuff we boxed fast when we were policing the place before the wedding. Poisoning weeds along the front. That was my job, while Jane was washing the kitchen grime off...

We set the kittehs outside…in their playpen…

...reviews were mixed. Seishi, who will dart a door and race madly away, escaping under the gate with no idea where he's going...[dimbulb].. and Shu, who will ooze out a door and roll on the sunwarmed pavement... both sat there in the fairly large pen in distress,...

Ah, the season of long light…

June. When it's light from 5 am til 9 pm, and everybody is insomniac... We live more attuned to the outdoors up here in the PNW than we did in Oklahoma, for one thing: we live a lot in the garden, but, y'know, it's hard to go to bed when the sun is still up, and hard...

Ah, the eye appointment.

I decided to go to the WalMart clinic as close and convenient, after my docs set up their own clinic. Appt at 930 am. I arrive on time. Fill out new paperwork. Take the tests, etc, etc. Talk to VERY young new person doing tests. Sit in the exam room. sit. Sit. Sit....
