Off to the doctor's!

Back to Mass Eye and Ear on Friday to check out the pressure in my eyes and see what the solution will be. It's wintertime and each appointment comes with the threat of bad weather. However, we've dodged a bullet here and it looks like things will be OK.

Wednesday for our next Dana-Farber visit, however, offers an early concern for snow. We'll see. That's so far in the future, I can't get too wrapped up in it.

For day to day activities, I continue working at neighbors homes and on my own kitchen. Today, I started to paint our kitchen. Tomorrow the new microwave goes in. Then it's finish the painting and put in a tile backsplash. I haven't worked with tile in years but I anticipate that it will be both a fun and interesting project.

Meanwhile, my neighbors diverse projects continue. Yesterday, I fixed a window for a neighbor that was stuck open! Considering that we've had below zero temperatures that past few days, this represented a great deal of discomfort and quite a heat loss. Why others failed and I succeeded, I don't know. But, needless to say, the lady was very thankful.

Her neighbor had a bunch of computer issues that I resolved. Once more making me look like a hero. But I think that the saying, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king" aptly applies. I've been lucky so far.

At least tomorrow's entry will offer something meaningful to report.

Talk to you then...
