My doctor's office, bless them forever, now has a service where you can get an online evaluation for 8 or 10 common (but also simple to treat) conditions/illnesses.
AWESOME. This is genius.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

First day of actual vacation--eye checkup, all good. Doc baffled why I'm so much happier with unassisted vision than that staring through his thingie of many lenses--possibly because I'm not dealing with lens distortion, and near 20/20 without help makes me very happy. Tomorrow I take the car to the shop to find out why half the time when I turn the key it doesn't do anything. The rest of today: waiting for my eyes to not be dialated and ordering a pizza for dinner. Woo, I live large.

Is today your birthday, Connie? Will there be macarons?

Happy Birthday! And enjoy your pizza today! Having macarons to look forward to is pretty good, too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Happy Birthday!
Stack #2 done at work. Did the other 2 personal To dos, so all work work for the rest of the day.

Happy Birthday Connie!
I did an exploratory shovel down the front steps. The drifts are hip deep. And there's snow and wind forecast for another 12 hours.
Otherwise, it's been a perfectly lazy snowday.

Happy birthday, Connie! I was thinking about getting a heart-shaped pizza just because they are available and they always remind me of the time we set one en flambé for the birthday of one of my dorm-mates in college and he tried to blow it out - towards me. Good times. Anyway, getting one in your honor, Connie, is the perfect excuse!
Taking Monday's remains the best possible gift to myself. As my boss has said a couple of times now, we should all work this schedule all the time; 5 days is too much. After a busy-with-fun weekend, I am spending today in my bathrobe with a pot of tea and supernatural police-procedural novels. Bliss.

I have to go back to the eye doctor next week. I really, really hate the "better 1 ... or 2" ... they're usually close enough that it's impossible to say. After cataract surgery, it seems that my vision isn't changing any more ... but I still have to go through that interminable switching of lenses.

I can't even.
Happy birthday, Connie!
NS does get vast amounts of snow Sue, by my standards, and I grew up in Northern Ontario with 10' snowbanks. These days, in Toronto, we get 4cm and it is panic stations (mostly because traffic becomes a nightmare).
