Went to the Centre, had turkey for lunch.
Stopped at the drug store to get a couple things. It's Seniors' Day... 20% off... which paid for the tax.
Then went for another eye exam at 2:15. Had my eyes muchly dilated and still can't see for beans at 6 pm. Maybe I should just go to bed?

I'm glad you got out and about and had a good lunch.
Pretty is always offering to poke my eyes out when I complain about them hurting or that everything is blurry... Would you like me to drive up there and poke yours out? 
I hope you have a good evening/night, whatever you decide to do.

@BarBaraPrz Mine is January 19th.
I tell Pretty she can poke mine out just to relieve the pain but she never does it.

Senior' Day is an elderly-friendly policy ! I haven't done an eye exam where my eyes had to be dilated .

I've had them dilated before, but this was the first time the effect lasted so long. I ended up going to bed at 7:30 and just listening to the radio.

@BarBaraPrz How long the effect lasts depends on which medication you are given.

You know it. Yesterday was so nice and bright and sunny, but I missed half of it because of the exam. And now today it's dull and rainy...

@BarBaraPrz It would have been better if it rained yesterday.

I went to bed at 7:30 because I couldn't read and even playing sollitaire on the computer was difficult.

Glad you got your eyes checked and if you have to strain then it is best to go to bed,

I can focus again today, at least as much as I could before the dilation.
