Not a whale of a lot!
Yesterday's dentist visit was a mixed bag. I have 1 small cavity but my deep pockets are slow;y disappearing - that's the good news. Everything else went fine with the visit,
The painting continues in my den and that should finish in another week. At which point I really will have only one room left to touch and I'm not sure what to do in our office area. However, a neighbor friend of ours has some things that she would like me to do. The timing appears to be perfect!
Healthwise, I'm doing fine and planning my next doctor's visit for Wednesday.Monday I have a Zimmerman House tour and Thursday I get that cavity repaired. So a somewhat busy week ahead.
It's hard to believe that it's autumn already - the time just seems to fly.
Keeping busy is the key...

Another first!
I've been called for jury duty! After alllllll these years they have finally come to their respective senses and called me to jury duty. Now, I can vividly picture myself in a scene from the movie "Twelve Angry Men". It's amazing how, after all this time, that my name finally surfaced. Anyway, it won't start until November. I suppose that I could claim illness and get out of it, but I think that it will be very interesting. I'm going to go through with it. Another of life's experienes that I would have missed .
Today was also my first bridge match for the men's daytime bridge group. NO cards - not much score. That was the end result. But it was fun and that is the intended result.
Tomorrow, I'll commence painting our den. Room number eleven out of twelve. Then comes the real fun of snaking speaker wires for the surround sound system. Fortunately, the attic is right above the room so I think that it won't be too much of a challenge. Famous last words!
Tomorrow is also a teeth cleaning as I try to maintain some modicum of good health. Everything else seems to be on track. Tomorrow is also the last day for one of my eye drops as well. It's hard to believe but it's been two weeks since I went to Mass Eye And Ear. Time flies! My eyes definitely feel better but they are definitely not perfect. I'm just going with the flow here so we'll see how long it takes to return to normality - if that's even possible.
It reallly doesn't matter, I'm extremely satisfied...

What's happened in three days?
Not much! But I do really get humbled at times. Yesterday, at church, I met the mother of one of our friends. A wonderful woman, so full of life, and a Red Sox and Patriots fan to boot! Anyway, via her daughter, she started going on-line and reading this blog. She was telling me how inspired she was by wahet I had to say and how wonderful it was to actually meet me in person. It really is nice to know that people are still following my activities and to realize that so many people that I don't know do so as well. But, I really feel as though I do not deserve any undo praise for my efforts.
As I have said before, as much as it keeps everyone informed, it serves to help me get through all this. Right now, I admit that the getting is relatively easy as it has always been. The eyes are certainly acceptable at this point. Could they be better? Of course, But I can fully function and that is what is really important. As my friend's mother said, "God is good". I most certainly cannot deny that!
Not much else has occurred other than I finished my bedroom/artist's room project and am now concentrating on doing our den next. After that, it is only this office area that needs doing and I will have done every room in the condo - a total of twelve, including the three bathrooms. What to do after that? Start over, maybe! Maybe I can take up some kind of a hobby - who knows?
Anyway, this week it's the dentist on Thursday, next week it's another tour on Monday, and back to Boston on Wednesday for the doctor.
No complaints, though. Every day that I have is a gift that many others who have walked in my footsteps did not get the chance to experience...
