I went to the doctor this week, and he informed me that I am
fine and can go back to my normal work. Just no heavy lifting. I guess this means I am back to cutting
grass. That starts tomorrow. Kevin is cutting the back yard today. I will do the front tomorrow. It’s supposed to rain this afternoon. That’s why I decided on tomorrow.
I will be heading for Ohio in a couple of weeks. Renea will be riding up with me so she can
visit her family for a few days before CRAP, then she will come back home with
Kevin. I plan on staying with Rita and
Bob for two weeks and then I will be staying with Jana and David for two
weeks. I am not going to stay as long
this time. There is just too much going
on right now for me to be gone for any length of time. If all goes well I will be adding a room to
my mobile home and building a garage/storage building next to my house. I will need to get back for that.
Okay, so I didn’t get the grass cut when I thought I
would. In fact I didn’t get any grass
cut until Sunday after church. All
because of the rain. At this point it
was knee high – and not to a grasshopper, but to me. Kevin did his front yard and about a fourth
of mine. I did the rest. It took forever since I had to go slow
because it was so high. Judging from the
weather report the grass probably won’t be cut until next week some time. We are supposed to have a lot of rain. The rain has been good for the grass, trees
and bushes. However, I have lost a few
plants even though the planters had holes in the bottom.
Nothing ever goes as planned. I had an eye doctor appointment this morning
for my yearly checkup. Since they dilate
my eyes Renea was going to take me.
However, when it was time to leave here comes Kevin. That was fine. Renea had other things to do since they were
leaving in the afternoon for a trip to Arkansas. We head out for Columbus, and, of course, I
had to get gas first. No big deal. So far, every time I have been to this eye
doctor they have been on time and there have been no long waits – until today. I was a little early, but they called me back
right away and the nurse did all the checkups that she does and took me back to
the doctor’s office. Where I sat and
waited, and waited and waited. I thought
maybe they forgot about me. About the
time I was going to go check and find out if they had forgotten about me the
doctor came into the room. Seems they
had an emergency and all four doctors on duty were taking care of the guy. His eye had perforated. He was still being taken care of and the
doctors were taking turns seeing their patients. My eyes are fine. No changes since last year. Don’t have to go back for another year. When I met up with Kevin in the waiting room
he was a little concerned because it took so long. However, all’s well that ends well. Now I will just be glad when my eyes go back
to normal.
Okay, I still have not caught the mouse. So, I bought four trays of D-Con. I am going to get that sucker! I put a tray in each room. Since I have not seen or smelled any dead
mice I don’t know if he is dead or not.
I hadn’t seen any mouse droppings for a couple of days after setting out
the trays, but I did see a mouse run across the living room floor while I was
watching the race on Saturday night.
Haven’t done much of anything lately. Can’t go outside because all it does is
rain. Sure would like to get the grass
cut before I go to Ohio. It’s almost
knee high again.
Off to run some errands.
