Trudging Through Thursday

I had a pretty good idea when I went to bed last night that I would not be getting up at my usual time this morning and I slept for over an hour longer than I usually do. I had kind of thought that I might not walk this morning, but I felt rested when I did get up so I did go for a walk.

Because I started the day late, I was behind most of the morning, I did not eat breakfast until after 0900 and by the time I finished the paper and the mail it was after 1000. After breakfast I was several pans from last nights dinner and this morning’s breakfast as well as several other things that I did not want to put into the dishwasher.

By the time I got all that done, I needed to get ready for my eye exam, so I cleaned up and changed my clothes. Kathleen had gone back to bed after I took off for my walk and did not get up again until after 1100, so I told her that I was leaving at 1245 and if she was not ready to go I was going to go anyway.

Some how she was ready, so we took off; while I was having my eyes examined she went over to the place where one orders their eye glasses. When I finished with my exam she was still looking but had not found anything. So she will have to try another shop. The doctor told me that my eyes were very healthy, probably the only part of my body that is, and that I did not need another prescription; so that will save us some money.

My vision was really blurry after the exam, from having my eyes dilated, so it was a good thing that Kathleen was there to drive home. I have always driven myself home, and I probably could have done it today, but it was much easier to have someone else do it.

Once home I changed clothes and made myself some lunch, and after that I lay down on the sofa for a while. I did not go to sleep, well, maybe for a little while, but I did feel better and my eyes were not as blurry.

For dinner tonight Kathleen made salmon cakes and mashed potatoes, I think she was realizing that if she did not do anything with the salmon it was going to go bad. I had not grown tired of it, but I know that she had.

Well, today was a really unproductive day, other than doing some dishes; I did not get anything else done. I was either too tired, or my eye sight was too blurry to do much of anything, I guess that I just need to be glad that I did not have to get anything done and leave it at that.

Tonight or tomorrow it is suppose to start raining, we need the rain so it is a good thing; but I kind of hate to see it start to rain this time of year, because it means that it will not stop until mid July next year. Not that it rains everyday, but it means that the days of sunshine are going to be few and far in between.

If that is not depressing enough I am not sure what is. On that cheerful note I think that I am just going to say good night!
