Good morning lovely ladies and happy FriYAY!!!!!!
@canuk-gal yay for awesome weather...we have had some gorgeous days too. Just unreal. 70s even 80s and sunny but very very windy. I have been wearing wrap around glasses from Greg when we are cycling. Don't need anything foreign in eyes right now lol. Thank you and I am feeling much better. Cornea is healed though I am now at higher risk for RCE (recurrent corneal erosion) and to that end I am instilling Muro-128 ointment every night before bed hoping it will keep things quiet. For at least 6 weeks if I can manage it. Not pleasant putting in ointment blurring the vision but if I can do it that can help prevent RCEs. My mom has them so once again a genetic component is there. Very sorry to read you still have some pain but glad you got cycling in and you enjoyed it. So nice your weather is cooperating. And yes to November weather being mild so far. That unfortunately is about to change here but it was a good run while it lasted. Today is still nice though 10 degrees cooler (6 and tomorrow 10 degrees cooler from day to a high at 55. Those are more seasonable temps. For us. OMG to the Italian Mastiff. They are so handsome. LOL they need their own zip code...true Always a treat to see furry babies when we are cycling.
@marcy ouch I am sorry you went through that. UGH. It's easier to laugh after the fact and glad it is behind you. Like you I am not a fan of this time change and I still have not adjusted either. So I am going to bed an hour earlier and waking up an hour earlier. LOL Take that time change. You might have realized by now I'm completely clueless about household stuff and clearly had no clue about a tankless water heater YAY for playing retired lady...you deserve it
@Austina thank you for asking. My niece is doing well. She has made some wonderful friends and she is enjoying college. She is finding classes challenging but IIRC so did I when I first started college. It's a change from high school. I have no doubt she will do well. And no nonsense happening on her campus. AFAIK. All is peaceful and calm TG. I read that record numbers of Gen X voted for DT. I'm Gen X I wonder how my nieces generation voted. I will have to look into that. Very curious. Thank you for the well wishes for my mom. She sure has had more than her fair share of stuff. She is recovered thankfully. And I really hope she doesn't get it again. This is time two or three. Ugh. Yay for figuring out the phone issues. It can be frustrating. And yay for a new keyboard and case for your iPad. Sweet. I am not familiar with the color Ultramarine but it sounds very pretty
Hahaha yes I win Queen Klutz but as we said we are soul sisters in Klutzdom Kingdom And girl we both need to be more careful for sure. You are the best @MamaBee big hugs and much love to you and I hope we see you around here more often. I feel selfish for keeping you all to myself
@Sunrises Sunsets thank you again for your kind and well wishes. And they worked. The bandage lens is now off and i feel OK. Not 100% but close. Now I have to be wary of RCEs (recurrent corneal erosions) but I am prepared and have some bandage contact lenses in the house should I need to apply it. Bu hopefully that won't be necessary. I really do not ever want to experience that level of pain again. When I say it was a 10 on a scale of 1-10 I am not exaggerating. And I have a high pain tolerance. Oy to the vey. I hope things remain calm and quiet by you too...wishing that for everyone. There was too much excitement this week starting with Monday AM at 5...praying for peaceful times and experiences ahead for us all. And it's so nice to see you here. I hope you stick around
Hello everyone else. Yesterday was a busy day. AM Greg met with the coop attorney to sign papers for the building's refinance and then he had a conference call for work. We went cycling after that and late afternoon I had my OD appointment where my cornea was proclaimed healed and the bandage CL was removed. My instructions are to instill Muro-128 ung before bed every night now to prevent RCE. I failed at that last night as it got all over my lashes and wouldn't go into the eye. I was being super careful so as not to cause another abrasion. Oy to the vey and LOL. I hope tonight goes more smoothly. We had a good cycling day yesterday albeit shorter than usual and today it is cooler but still cycling friendly and that is our plan. OH and we hit 9,000 miles yesterday!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
I took the photo as we were cycling. Above number is mph we were cycling at that moment and the bottom number is the total miles since we started cycling this year (april 2024 I believe but it was a slow start due to Greg's TKR at the end of January this year). Very pleased with our accomplishment as this year was crazy busy with medical appointments. Anything we reach now before 2025 is gravy. I know the weather will be changing very soon and I can't take temps in the low 50s when cycling...just too cold for me with the wind we whip up as we are cycling by the sea.
And a photo yesterday afternoon waiting for the OD to come into the exam room
Enjoy a fantastic FriYAY lovely ladies. XOXO
