i did finally go to my eye exam (the one i ditched last weekend) and my eyes, thankfully, haven't changed much in the past 2 years. he did use the B word... in five years the Ophthalmologist said i'd be needing BIFOCALS. great. in the meantime, my lens prescription hasn't changed so i can still use my eyeglasses. i'm also getting contact lenses.
next week i pick up the contact lenses and i've scheduled a blood donation. our area is in need.
the time is coming to make plans to visit Mom and the family. i miss my little nieces. their grandparents sent them cowboy boots! ;-) both are less than 8 years old and speak excellent Spanish and English.
anyhow. February has been dubbed Beatles month by one of our local classic rock radio stations. 40 years ago this month, they invaded Us. thank god. i spent yesterday evening listening to U2's War. what an absolutely fabulous album. brought back too many memories though.
PBS is showing The Forsyte Saga...i've seen it before and manoman...i loved it. somehow i always end up pitying the villian, hoping that he experiences redemption, the last scene of him holding his newborn daughter is a bittersweet one.
we all need a little redemption...
