1. My new glasses came! 2. The visibility strip on the right eye is just to the inside. 3. To see clearly, I have to be a little cross eyed. 4. This is probably because when I had my measurements taken, I kept glancing to the left. I regret that. 5. I can see well enough now to process pictures. 6. Unluckily, something went wrong with my software and none of the pictures are visible in my blog. 7. It’ll […]
I broke my glasses. They snapped off at the bridge just from trying to wipe off a sweat drop. My old glasses are so bad I have to hold them six inches in front of my face to see clearly. it’s making it really hard to process photos. So… I’ll be back to Iceland in a couple of weeks – after the replacements on order come. For this week I’m going with 13 words. 1 It’s 2 Forest 3 Fire […]
Sorry. It’s been a really long work week and I have a sore throat. I’m just not up to cranking out the next Suzie’s House right now. I’ll have it up next Monday.
1. Sleeping. I got up at 4 am and couldn’t get back to bed. I’m tired. 2. Done with taxes! Yeah, wishful thinking. It’s only begun. 3. Much further along in processing photos. I hope to be back to Iceland next Thursday. 4. Lighter weight. I’m back on the weight loss program. So far? two pounds less. Only fifty or sixty to go. 5. Anywhere but the doctor’s office. 6. Smarter. 7. With a good memory 8. And a kind […]
This day we spent as much time traveling from one hotel to another as taking in the local attractions. So, only three stops.
Time for a quick review of “Day 4” of my Iceland trip. We drove from our hotel in Stykkisholmur to the end of the peninsula then back to the hotel. I’m not sure where on the map the beach is. I got the guide to show me twice but I hadn’t packed a highlighter (that is most certainly going on the packing list in the future) and had to borrow. Unluckily neither a bar nor a bus is a good […]
The last lines I wrote in my NaNo book tonight: “The point is, I haven’t found people to be particularly trustworthy.” “Too late to keep it from me.” She grinned at him, pleased with her logic. “I haven’t been bad so far, have I?” “But that’s always the way with humans. You act all nice at first. Then you do something horrible!” “I promise, I will not do anything horrible.” She let her irritation show. “I’m just a girl. What […]

It’s spring in Montana. That means it’s sometimes winter, and sometimes summer and generally something bouncing between the two. I was at work, and saw something floating past the window. At first I didn’t think much about it. This time of year there might be cottonwood fluff, or apple blossom petals, or any manner of natural air pollution. My co-worker happened to be looking at the weather forecast on her phone, and said it was supposed to get cold enough […]
1. Can I count the picture? It’s a random shot from the window of the bus while on my trip to Indonesia nearly two years ago.
I’m doing fine. Still not real comfortable sitting at my desk for long periods of time, and no where near ready to crawl around on the floor for craft projects, but sleeping through the night and not hurting much. I find it a bit ironic that my handicap parking permit should arrive just as I’m reaching the point where I’m fairly confident about shopping on my own two feet. Pr-op, when I could barely stand to stand because of all […]
Until the muscles and tendons around my new, mechanical hip have mellowed out, I’m supposed to be very careful to avoid certain positions. Those positions are, specifically, never let the chest and knee get closer than ninety degrees. Never point the toes inward. Never let the knees get close, let alone cross. And never twist the hips around to look behind you. 1. 90 Degrees? Piece of cake. The arthritis hasn’t let me get my knee up any higher than […]
I had a total hip replacement. If you’re squeamish or easily bored by medical talk, then this is a good place to stop reading.
