What a Day!

My hubs and I recently returned from our annual eye exams and are ultra light sensitive. Even the computer screen hurts my eyes! Never mind walking Doodles in the brilliant sunshine. The sun was blinding, even with my sunglasses on. Don't even mention the humidity!
While outdoors, my neighbor invited us for cocktails this evening. I had to take a rain check. I'm on a roll with my diet.
We are waiting for the phone to ring, not for sales pitches or scams, but for the hospital with a date for my hubby's surgery and an estimate for having tiles installed in our family room.
Meanwhile, our older son is in Maine with his family, yet again, to get my granddaughter from camp tomorrow. They will spend a long weekend with her in Maine, sightseeing and stuffing their faces with lobster.
And Kuma the cat vomitted under my bed.
Meanwhile, I'm just trying to get my eyesight back!

I don't know whether to feel sorry for the cat or for you. Maybe I will feel sorry for both of you. I didn't know your hubby was going to have surgery. I have been away from the site for a while. I hope it's nothing serious and that all goes well.

@DianneN I had spinal stenosis three years ago further down the spine. I could only walk for about 30m and then had to stop for a certain amount of time. My legs didn't move anymore. The physician told me that if I hadn't something done, I might soon sit in a wheelchair. So I decided to have an operation. I'm happy to say that everything went well.

I need my eyes checked, it's been a long time. My eyes are getting pretty light sensitive, too. My dad has macular degeneration, he didn't have it till he was in his 80s, but I just hope I never get it.
Sorry to hear about the cat puke, lol.

Hope the eyes feel better now. The dilation is the worst part of eye examinations.

Oh gosh, a day like mine with so much going on.
I think I would rather have the cat puke under the bed instead of ON my pillow like one of ours did the other day. Thankfully the gagging woke me up and I moved in time! He was up on the headboard.

I'm fine now. It is a nasty experience, especially on a sunny day and having to take Doodles out. Eyesight is the same.
No special weekend here. My son is taking a long weekend from work for a mini vacay after they pick up my granddaughter from camp. They've found some fun places when they've gone to visit her near the B&B on a farm. She's never been there and they want her stay there and visit places they've all discovered.

She probably had her eyes dilated, I have super light sensitive eyes so when mine are dilated it's really bad.

Your granddaughter always looks so happy...her smile is contagious!
Diet? You certainly don't look like you ever need to diet
Hope by now your eyesight is better & you've gotten the phone calls you were waiting for

I don't like too much light too, even from computer screen light. So you had your eyes treated, that's why. It will adjust later on as eye doctors say. Your granddaughter looks so cute, so with the big-eyed pink stuff toy.

Don't you just love it when they put those drops in your eyes that makes your pupils open up full and you can't see for hours? I hope they've returned to normal by now. I'm sorry the cat vomited under your bed.
I've been wondering when your granddaughter would be finished with camp. I've been wanting to ask you all week. So here's my answer. I love her room, especially that stuffed animal she's leaning on.
Did you get those calls yet?
