That bridge collapse in Miami looks scary, Laura. I hope everyone's OK.
It is so scary. The same people did the Tampa Bay huge bridge that I avoid like the plague. Story sharing time. My dad was a civil engineer for the State of NY. Every time we went over a bridge he would say to us, "Remember this bridge was built by the lowest bidder." Thanks for the lifelong bridge fear, Dad! Of course he did quality control stuff and I would trust any bridge he supervised because he was brilliant.
I haven't heard any thing from local peeps on the casualties.
Yay still being employed, Atropa. Yeah, I get the meh.
Lukewarm brown water is a completely unacceptable substitute for espresso. Not. On.
I wouldn't be thrilled with it, Connie. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but not "good" as such.
Fortunately my current wage is sufficient for my needs (praise be).
Got my eyes dilated, so I'm hoping I can actually touch-type, because I can't really see the screen right now....
Had my eyes dilated on Tuesday to get new specs. The prescription will bring them back up to 20/20 - which they haven't been for a while because I was lazy about getting new glasses.
In other glasses news, they fixed my old glasses which snapped in half in the middle. In fact, you can't even see a seam where they fixed it.
I'm to the point where I have a distance vision prescription, a second for computer and a third for reading.
I love my computer glasses! My prescription is the same, I'm pretty sure, but I need new frames anyway. I might just reup the same ones I have, but they are getting crappy-looking.
I've been putting off new glasses until after the move. My prescription is so out of date.
We're moved in!! We still have random crap over at the old house, but we sleep her tonight and it's where the coffee and the toothbrushes live. Guys, it's gonna be so cute when it's organized and decorated.
So tired though. And my shoulder is barking....I THINK I'LL GO TAKE THE FIRST SATISFYING BATH I'VE TAKEN IN 9 YEARS!!! IN MY DEEP TUB!!!
That's awesome, Strix! I had a very similar experience when I took a bath for the first time here last week (don't ask me why it took so long). It's not a great bathtub, but we have a tankless water heater, which means there's enough water to actually FILL THE TUB. The tub in our old house was deep and great...but the old water heater only filled it about three inches, so nsm good for bathing.
Once you start to get it set up, share pictures! I'd love to see your new digs.
Oh, there will be...pix. Heh.
One new neighbor has an old beagle and a younger beagle mix. Loxie is so excited! Our backyard is huge! I can't wait to have a housewarming shindig!
Yay Strix!
I'm too the point where I have a distance vision prescription, a second for computer and a third for reading.
I kind of hate my progressive lenses. I never really adjusted to them, and when I use the reading part of the lens, I still have to hold things at arm's length.
