I think the rain has passed our area for a while, and I'm happy about that. I need to get out to do a little shopping - Christms presents for the kids and a birthday gift for Autumn.
Over the past few years I have amassed a few points on my credit card, so I recently ordered a pair of Nikon binoculars, which came yesterday. I wanted them for my travels and camping trips, but find it's just like the camera - my eyesight without glasses has deteriorated, and I can't look through the lenses or viewfinder with glasses on. I'd say that is what is described as being between a rock and a hard place!
I was asked by Judy (the bird lady) if I had any plans to reschedule my trip to NY. I won't be going just now as I missed the welcome home party and Thanksgiving, and my son & his family are coming to CA for Christmas. I did want to visit a few relatives in Kentucky, and have been contacted by the vascular surgeon who handled the stent implant, requesting that I schedule a follow-up appointment. In fact, his office tentatively scheduled one for me in mid December, which I'm going to have to cancel. I would love to see the vascular guy again - of all the doctors I've had he is probably the one I liked and trusted most. The cardiologist I saw here in Sacramento had me undergo a carotid scan and said they couldn't even find the stent. So I would rather hear it from the surgeon who implanted it in the first place. Answer is, I don't know if I want to make a trip in early 2013 and then back again in September 2013. This gypsy is getting a little too old for two cross country trips in one year!
I'm typing this entry on the tiny Acer computer - it is very difficult to read as the screen is small and I like the large print, but it isn't easy to view excep on a regular sized screen. I don't know how people can use an iPhone for their email or internet use.
Speakig of phones, I dropped my Verizon cell phone and bought a TracFone a while back. With the offers that came with the phone for double hours, I find I still have about 180 hrs left, but only 11 service days in which to use them. I don't like using a cell phone and am tempted to just drop it completely - get back to the old days :)

First thing I want to do is to address Jessica's comment yesterday that I might consider getting a cat. I was brought up with dogs as pets; my dad didn't like cats and my mom grew up on a farm where the cats were around the barn to...
- Update On New Cell Phone
My Tracfone expires at the end of today and my new Jitterbug phone hasn't arrived, so I called GreatCall (The Jitterbug company) to find out what they could tell me. A great customer service person checked with UPS and said the phone won't...
- Cell Phone Dilemma
I've often complained about my cell phone, and now I'm about to drop it altogether. I have about 180 minutes left and 4 days of usage. It will cost a minimum of $20 to top it off, which would add about 60 minutes and a couple more...
- Hey, I Think I'll Make It!
Actually I never had a doubt I'd make it, but didn't realize it would take so long. I haven't had depression like that before, and there are other issues in my life right now that have me at loose ends. I just realized I actually...
