Second Eye

As you probably don’t remember, I had my cataracts removed last summer. 4 weeks apart which means I spent that month with really weird vision. George, at the time, said – gee, I don’t think I will have to do that for years. Well, years turned out to be this spring. He did really well with the first surgery last month and has the second one scheduled for this morning.

This, of course, leaves me as the designated driver again for a while. I don’t mind all that much. The only downside that I find is that one can’t knit and driver at the same time.

No – I haven’t tried it and will not either.

Father’s Day here in the US passed reasonably quietly yesterday. My early run for cheesecake netted a variety pack and everyone found something that they were willing to eat.

Otherwise, Zoom calls, stitching weird creatures

and not being too irritated at everyone made up the rest of the day.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
