I have been stalling on writing in here as I knew hubby would be coming in any time to tell me 'goodbye' as he heads to his Bible study this morning. He's running about 10-15 minutes later than usual. He asked me again the other day if I 'still journal' (well, this IS a journal of my life, isn't it?) in my computer. I said yes. Then he asked how often I type in my blog. I just said some. Nothing I have said about him has been out of line, so if he reads it, he reads it. He has the 'address' and can go into it at any time. I have never forbidden him. But I don't want to be 'caught' typing in it for that will ensure he will go into it. If he remembers. With having the computer on this desk, my back is to the door, therefore he can see what I'm doing when he comes in. This morning I took the opportunity to pay my Kohls bill and check on a couple of credit cards while waiting on him to come in. At least any 'bills' I had are now paid off. All he saw was the store screen.
I didn't sleep well last night. I mean I really didn't sleep well. I woke up at 11:30PM for the trek down the hall, but then tossed and turned for another hour. Finally at 12:30AM I got up and came in here. I knew hubby had at least one more trek down the hall during the night so I was having difficulty getting settled in my chair, anticipating him opening the door. I was just settling in and sure enough, I hear his footsteps. He opens the door. Stars at me (I can see him because he has a night light in his bathroom). "Are you in here?" I just told him yes I was in here. "Why?" Well, I couldn't sleep so came in here so that he could. He stood there for a few more seconds and I told him to just shut the door and go back to bed so that I could try and get some sleep too. He did. And I did for a couple hours, I think.
Yes, I have something on my mind and was working through it during the night. Nothing bad. But just thoughts. A lot of good thoughts, and something I need to discuss with someone later today.
I actually worked on my bulletin board yesterday and threw away some papers. Will I get around to doing anything else in here? Who knows. I have Needles of Hope in the morning and hubby (yes, he did) made us mani/pedi appointments with the nail shop down the road - and he plans to pay for it. Works for me. His toenails are awful and I tried to cut them one time and after one look opted to take him to the nail shop for them to cut them. YECK. Now my feet are not the prettiest feet in the world, but, uh, no. Not cutting his toenails. So we have that tomorrow afternoon. Maybe after that I can get something done. Or not. We've been doing more reading (so glad about that!) so may just curl up with a book.
Had an eye exam yesterday and I really liked this doctor who did my exam. I did the $35 scan they offer (have always refused it in the past) on a whim, and I'm glad I did. This doctor brought up the photos and pointed out the nerves, and the stigmas I have in each eye - and he noticed I have a scar on the edge toward the ear on each eye. Weird. But he told me my eye nerves were healthy and no sign of diabetes (did you know they can tell some diseases by looking at your eye? Ms. Bonnie from our other neighborhood was diagnosed with MS by her eye doctor!). He also commented that my left eye worked harder than my right eye to see. No explanation for the ocular migraines. I keep asking. But he wrote two prescriptions for glasses for whichever I wanted. I like him because he explained everything in the test in terms that I understood. I think I'm getting the progressive for reading and computer. When those come in, I'll ask what the other prescription was for. I may ask for that prescription and check around for prices. My insurance is good. Remember last year they told me to never quit work, the VSP insurance I have for hubby and I (I took the top line) gives us one frame a year, and some of the other stuff too. I ended up paying $35 for the test; $10 copay, and $95 for my cost of the new glasses. Total $140. Not bad, huh! They will be here in about two weeks and I'm excited to get them. They are much lighter I think, than my last pair. And I have numerous reading glasses laying around cause I don't wear my glasses all the time and have to find a pair to read anything with. A couple of the frames (plastic) have broken and I need to throw those away. Or glue back together.
Did I tell you my new phone case finally arrived and I've had to 'downsize' all that I carried in my other one? Yeah - I don't need to carry all that I was, but you know once you use something you just stick it in the folder and move on. And my old phone case was getting pretty full. Hubby likes his new blue cover; hopefully he will find it easier to find when he loses his phone.
My little sister and I are going to do a bible study together. I saw this ad for one for Easter and we both ordered the books. I decided that I wasn't going to try and watch the streaming video because with work and other issues, I often miss things due to time differences. So I ordered the video to go along with the 4 week bible study and can do it on my own time. I also ordered one for my sister and will send it on to her when I get it. I also bought 'myself' a new DVD portable player. It's larger than the one I had purchased about 5 years ago. We only used it a couple times but the last time I used it, it stopped in the middle of the movie and wouldn't play anymore. I was not a happy camper. It was a cheap plastic one anyway. The new one is as big, if not bigger, than this laptop. Which is bigger than I like, but serves it purpose. It's heavy too. But at least the screen is big enough that we can see the movie and not a 8 inch screen like before. I can remember when they had a player built within the computer and we could use those - but no more. I actually miss those days of convenience.
Oh my - starting late this morning and time has gotten away from me! Have already turned my work computer on and got caught by an email that had to be responded to right away. Got to order some printing stuff for one of the directors in Colorado today too. It's been 5 years since I've ordered any printing - think it has changed any? And why does she have to ask me to do it! I don't wanna!! UGH but I have to do it. Suck it up buttercup!
Alas, I don't have time to ramble so much in here; it's 7:04AM and I need to get to work. My time is never my own, right? Oh well - enjoy my little rambling stuff today - maybe I'll be more with it tomorrow when I have more than 4 hours of sleep.
Blessings!
