I started this blog in 2009 to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 16 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. 6/16/24 Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

A Long Wednesday…or So It Seems at This Point!
It seems like the day stretches out really long when it is broken up with an appointent in the afternoon. Lots of checking the clock to see how close it is to time to leave for the apointment. I did cook a roast prior to goimg to the appointment. Kathy, Elijah, Isaac, and Joseph made a brief stop to pick up a piece of their mail that had been delivered next door (their former residence). So we chatted for a few minutes and then they were on their way so they could have lunch and then get Elijah off to baseball practice. A little before 2pm I headed off to my eye doctor for my six-month checkup after my cataract surgery. My eyes were a-okay! The doctor was very pleased with how well I can see. He did say that hindsight is 20/20 and that he wished that he had put a little stronger lense in my left eye...he followed the "formula." which said that it should be slightly less strong than the right eye. But I can't tell that there is a difference in them...until...I read the chart this afternoon...but can still see very well with both of them. He said that my eye pressure was VERY good and that I won't ever have glaucoma...sounds good to me. Don't have to go back for a year...again, soumds good to me! I made a morning appointment this next time...so it won't cut into the day so much. I came home from the appointment and made gravy with the juices from the roast. I like to make the gravy not so much for the roast, though I may have a hot pork sandwich with a little of the gravy,but for my enchilada sauce. I hope that I have enough energy to make my enchilada sauce so I can freeze it for the next two times that I have enchiladas. But...extra cooking may not be the best idea for me at the moment. I have several things to make for funeral meals for Friday and Saturday...so I have to find time to grocery shop and make the recipes. I got the kitchen cleaned up after my gravy cooking mess, before it was time to go to Bible study at church. By the time I got to Bible study, I realized that I was pretty tired...for a little bit of the study, I struggled just a bit to keep my eyes open...but did stay awake and heard most of what the teacher said! I will say I was glad to pull into my driveway and head inside. I started my dishwasher and then came straight to my downstairs recliner. I think that this will be where I stay for the rest of the evening. I hope that I can either stitch or read...BUT sleep may be coming earlier than usual! To be contunued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
