Getting old is a challenge!!!
Oh boy, we set the alarm for 6:00 am because we have to be in Newport Beach at 8:00 am for my semi-annual eye checkup. We departed the house at 7:10 am and followed the GPS to see the odc. We arrived about 20 minutes early, so we had a coffee. We brought two boxes of veggies picked from our garden.
I was poked, examined, dilated, and imaged for about an hour, and the diagnosis was, “You are doing excellent for an old fart!” It was a good thing that I studied for the eye test last night!
While driving home, I remembered what happened this morning!
On the way home, we stopped at the Original Pancake House for breakfast! We shared a veggie omelet, and I added a hunk of ham. We could not finish the omelet (which is about 1400 calories according to the menu), so we brought it home, meaning tomorrow we will finish it off.
The rest of the day was spent working around the house, with Mary doing the inside work and me making the workshop almost presentable!
Mary fixed a wonderful dinner and, using my calorie counter, she made it a little more than 300 calories! We watched TV until 7:00 pm, then headed to the pool for 90 minutes of luxuriating in the 90-plus-degree water.
It became 10:00 pm, and we crashed!
