Do the eyes have it?
It was not particularly fun to be woken up at 0300 with serious pain in my right eye. Literally eye watering pain. This is not what happened with my left eye, and it was neither expected or desired. Over the … Continue reading

Two left feet
That is literally what I had in my hand as I headed for the door early this morning. Or rather – two left sandals. Since, obviously that was not what I intended it caused yet another trip up the stairs … Continue reading

Eyes painfully open
Ah yes, an early drive to SFVA followed by waiting followed by getting my eyes dilated. Again. Other than the fact that it is not fun having a blinding light shone in one’s eyes while tears run down your face.. … Continue reading

Summer Cat
Thinking back to earlier this week – I guess I really don’t notice my eyes. They are just there. My glasses are on/off my face depending on what I am doing and which method seems to get the best result. … Continue reading

Not particularly
much fun at all. Admittedly, it wasn’t exactly a poke in the eye with a pointy stick. More like a series of something or other under just enough sedation that I didn’t run screaming from the operating theatre. Cataract surgery, … Continue reading

A call
As I mentioned (I think I did….) that I was seen in the cataract clinic yesterday. After going through the testing and jumping various hurdles, I was told that the surgery schedulers would call me and arrange surgery date/s sometime … Continue reading

All the excuses
Over the years, I have lost track of just about everyone with whom I attended various schools, courses, and universities. That is, with the exception of Carmen who I have known for just about my entire adult life starting from … Continue reading

WSC – Day 2
I missed the first portion of the conference. At least at the time it was offered. There is something about a meeting starting at 0900 Geneva Time (Central European, DST) which is beyond me. My clock was happy to remind … Continue reading

Scottish Veterans
To start off with the reminder – the UK is not just England, but Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The Army here is based on the regimental system (and I am sure that Beverly, David, and a few others will … Continue reading

Ignoring the morning
Yes, please. I headed out early. Early enough that I was the first customer at my local Peet’s before braving the freeway, Bay Bridge and run to SFVA. It was one of those times where my inclination to adhere to … Continue reading

It has been a long, long
crawl up to feeling anything close to normal. To summarize. I started to feel lousy on the flight. Dani kept looking at me and asking if I was doing ok. We had managed a two seat exit row so at … Continue reading

the headless bear
The Bear – from Cottage Garden Samplings – A Year in the Woods. There are a lot of stitches in this bear, trust me on that. I think, in fact, that he is the densest so far of the seven … Continue reading

Not worth 0500
One of the downsides of living on the US West coast involves time zones. What may seem like a perfectly reasonable time to you, in London, Geneva, or Copenhagen is not all that great from my point of view. Especially … Continue reading

It might be funny
if the whole thing wasn’t so appalling. Talking about Alex and his broken leg. Last Friday night just to jog your memory. And then the insurance people. The order of events is about as follows: ER visit on Friday night. … Continue reading

another Saturday, more needles
I was part of the team at Allen Temple Baptist Church again today. Officially our hours are 1000-1400 which means a good couple hours ahead of time for set up and perhaps time afterwards for tear down. This location is … Continue reading

Why am I up
sometimes I think I am insane, and other times I know it. THis morning was totally and completely a case in point. I enjoy staying educated, up to date, and informed on the public health issues that were part of … Continue reading

Ouch
And I thought yesterday was a disorganized disaster – today trumped that in spades then ran the table (ok, mixing metaphors here, but you get the idea). And, as attempt to write this for the third time, the fun has … Continue reading

a normal Saturday
Our vaccination site was moved for today, on rather short notice as it turns out. My best guess is that the church where we normally hold the clinic had a funeral and didn’t want to mix the mourners with those … Continue reading

Masks work
We have had a bit of insanity behind the scenes over the weekend. Dani received a call from work on Saturday informing her that a work colleague had just reported a + COVID test. Further, this was someone with whom … Continue reading
