I've been feeling "down" since my visit with the eye surgeon yesterday. They took many pictures of both eyes, including several of the retinas, and it doesn't look good. He suggested that when I am ready, I can see a retina specialist, who will take tons of tests and probably do surgery. I said "No thanks", at least for now. At my age the last thing I want to do is have any more surgery, especially eye surgery. I will see the doc again in 6 months.
It looks like I will be flying to NY in September and return in October. I'll be there about a month. It just so happens that my youngest New York grandson's birthday falls within that time frame. (My youngest grandson, Liam, has a birthday next week and his birthday party is this coming Saturday. I'm hitching a ride with Donald and Jeannie as I no longer want to drive through downtown Sacramento or any city, for that matter.
I went to Costco on the way home from my chiro appointment today and I now have a gallon of ice cream in my freezer, actually a gallon minus about 5 spoonsful. I had to test it, you know. Now I need to go to Target for a couple of items. I have pretty much stayed out of the stores all month, and I'm afraid I might get reckless with the amount in my checking account with only about a third of the month to go.
I think it is nice enough to sit out on the driveway and see if there is any fresh air to breathe. We've had breezes that are blowing the smoky stuff further north - sorry for that, Judy "Birdlady" Bell. The effects of the fires that are not only devastating so much land in CA, but also in WA and ID, will be evident for a long time. I've heard it said that we can expect many trees to fall from being weakened by lack of water.

I had a good workout today and now I'm exhausted. I went with Jeannie and Donald; restrained myself from rushing to the ladies' room to step on the scale until after my workout. 127!!!!! If I could lose this belly I've developed...

I just want to let everyone know I'm back from the wedding and will write more about the weekend when I get a chance. I took the advice of several readers and went both to Lowe's and Home Depot and signed up for contact with roofers. ...

I got myself on the road this morning thinking I'd go to Costco; about halfway there I changed my mind and decided I'd try Target (I always spend more than I plan on at Costco), so I started circling over there. Then I realized that much...
