I had an eye appointment this morning at 0950 but I left early so that I would have time to look at the frames before my eyes were dilated so much that I would not be able to see very well. By the time I had picked out my frames it was time for my appointment, so that worked out pretty well.
They not only checked my eyes for vision, which was pretty much the same as it had been but also for cataract and glaucoma. He said that my eyes show no sign of glaucoma and only a slight sign of cataract, less than normal for someone my age, so all that is good.
He did prescribe a little stronger reading lens for my bifocals, but he said that was just to make reading a little easier. We spent a good deal of time talking about the medical system here and how it is good in many aspects but very large and cumbersome in other aspects. He is a young Japanese and I chose him a couple of years after my old doctor retired because I thought that he was fresh out of school and probably more familiar with some of the new advancements and techniques.
Shortly after I got home I helped Kathleen make the bed as she had stripped it and washed the sheets. Then I went downstairs and tried this weeks sample chicken noodle soup that I am testing for one of the major soup makers.
Then Kathleen left to meat with the lady from church around 1330 and after I finished eating I read the mail. Stan just about finished the tiling, he put the glass tile on today and tomorrow he will put on the topper, then he will wait a day or so before he starts grouting.
He is going to grout the floor and the walls at the same time, as it is easier and they both can be drying at the same time. After that we will need to seal the grout and after that we will be able to put the toilet in. That should just about finish the downstairs remodel project.
I think that all we will have to do after putting in the toilet is find a mirror for over the sink, install the light for over the mirror and then buy and install the knobs for the draws and doors of the vanity and cabinet.
Stan left around 1700 tonight as he wanted to stop off at Joe's and look at a new pair of binoculars that they had on sale. So after he left I took a couple photos of the tile, so here they are:
Tomorrow I will try to take one that is a little closer up that will show the white tile, the green glass tile and the topper better. The tile on the long wall is two tiles high and it follows all around the room until it gets to the vertical section that outlines where the mirror will go.
