It was a great idea while it lasted!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were road warriors today!\u00a0 We went next door, woke up the roosters; they were not doing their job today!<\/p>\n

We were showered by 6:30 am, feeling like we were competing in the Olympic sport of Speed Showering. Meanwhile, the power flickered like it was trying to do the cha-cha \u2013 it could\u2019ve gone off at any moment, and we were just one shampoo bottle away from a total blackout situation! Who knew morning hygiene could feel so much like a reality show challenge?<\/p>\n

We had to be in Irvine at 8:30 am for an eye appointment; my semi-annual eye exam was scheduled.\u00a0 All in all, Dr. Klein said I was doing well….for an old fart!!\u00a0 A slight glaucoma issue, but nothing to worry about yet!<\/p>\n

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that damages the optic nerve, which can lead to vision loss and blindness. It’s usually caused by a buildup of fluid in the eye that increases pressure on the optic nerve.\u00a0 My pressures were A-OK today but little did he know and removed 10 psi earlier!!<\/p>\n

Mary studied the test results and was NOT happy with her results!<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr, Klein and Mary go back many years and Mary turned over all her patients to him when she retired; he is an upright honest man!<\/p>\n

\"\"

A-1 Class Act!!<\/p><\/div>\n

From there, we headed home to pick up Mary’s watercolor equipment. The visit was a\u00a0 “fly-by”; we were home for six minutes flat!\u00a0 Scout was confused!<\/p>\n

It was brunch time! We went to Benji’s, and as we walked in, we looked up\u2014there were Vicky and Jim! This was not a “surprise” but merely unexpected. We joined them and talked for 45 minutes about near-term social plans!<\/p>\n

We departed quickly as Mary had a noon appointment at the 801 building to see her eye person who does hard-contact lenses.\u00a0 That took about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

We went to the Tustin Senior Citizens Center, where Mary has her class from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. While she painted, I returned home, put new tires on the generator, repaired the back door, and opened Amazon boxes!<\/p>\n

I picked her up at 3:00 p.m. (plus a few extra minutes because, apparently, my GPS thought the freeway exit was a suggestion, so I decided to take the scenic route\u2026 which just happened to be the wrong one!).<\/p>\n

Mary was waiting in the park when I arrived and she was waving something wildly at me!\u00a0 It was her latest masterpiece!<\/p>\n

\"\"

She gets better and better!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We stopped by the cleaners, who had a note saying, “Be back in twenty minutes.”\u00a0 Phooey, we went home.<\/p>\n

We examined the backyard for wind damage, and I suggested we put up a sign saying it is OK to be topless in the backyard…based on our gazebo!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Oh my, our gazebo is topless!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were not the least bit hungry so Mary started working in her bathroom and I finished off the office.<\/p>\n

At 10:30 pm we declared victory and crashed!<\/p>\n
