Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

Interesting article tonight on NBC Nightly News about a new 5-minute eye surgery that lets those of us with our noses buried in our computers for days on end for years read newspapers and menus again... Which is a good thing as my arms are not growing any longer and the print seems to be getting smaller.

I saw the promo for that and went, yes! Then saw the piece and went oh poop. Won't work for me, sigh. Used to have great vision, then just need reading glasses for a year or two, then in one year I went from Walmart readers to tri-focals. My eye dr. went, "what the &^%$! I;ve never seen that happen before!" Oh goody. 6 months later I found out why. Dxd with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. It's ok, once I got out of the hospital and onto the big drugs my eyes actually got a little better. Still have the trifocals but in the 8+ years since my vision has only changed a little more and probably due to a terminal case of oldtimers

Only told you this as a cautionary tale. If your vision (or that of a loved one) suddenly changes, take it as a warning (not just shrug your shoulders like I did) and hustle off to your dr. to find out why.

Morning Ralphie! I was just thinking it was probably a bit "crispy" over your way this morning. Got to finish harvesting the herb garden today. Supposed to get down right crunchy our way tonight. Tis the season, sigh.

I am in a "smack you on the head with a hammer because you dared to come within 10 feet of me" kind of a mood....

I will probably feel more cheerful come April.

Yep, I can relate. Perfect description of me this morning. Probably, for the sake of my marriage, I should go to town by myself today.

I am in a great mood today. I finally am feeling better and now that the cold has hit, I can deal with it better than thinking it is coming. I will never be ready for winter this year so we will see what happens.

Having had those days Alaskan, I suggest a nap and start the day over around noon.

I would like to restart the day in April

But today I am better... I think I have reached the stage called "acceptance"

The goats are bummed that their favorite food... Fireweed, is starting to get crispy, red and brown. So..... They busted into my duck pen twice to eat my still green and tasty looking apple trees. Feta Face even climbed up on the roof of the duck coop to grab the best leaves.....

Silly goats, no worries about the trees... We caught the goats soon enough that no damage was done.

I was up at "responsible adult" time again this morning. If this keeps up I'm gonna be exhausted. Need. More. Coffee.
