My eye surgery didn't happen on Monday which was very disappointing. Long story short; I was pre approved for the standard lens and because everyone's case is different, we thought the astigmatism lens would be better for me. My insurance has to deny the first one and then we can re-apply for the second one and adding on another procedure to each eye for my glaucoma. There are 2 different types of correction for that; both being very interesting, but we'll see which one my ins. will cover. I will  have to pay for the upgraded lens but I had planned for that anyway. We have kept my original 2nd eye appt. to now be my first and then make another one for the second. Makes perfect sense, right?

It was such a long day with eye tests/scans, dilation/numbing drops; all for nothing. But at least that part is over and it will hopefully be a smooth day of surgery, whenever I do get there.

We've had Chico with us for the past two weeks and he's been the usual good boy enjoying what walks we could do and finding a lap, usually mine. Sometimes he will share with Abe too.


Last weekend we went to my oldest step-son's for dinner; it's been a year since we've seen them. Even Tony's ex was there and it's been even longer since we've seen her. She didn't even know who Faith was since it's been so long. She also doesn't see well, but it was still funny when she said "who's that?" It was really great to see everyone and I'm glad we had the chance to go. 

Currently I'm in Airway Heights for a 17 day stay with Max and Oli. Steve is my longest term client since he was my first sitting job. He was so nice over Christmas and paid me for the whole time I would have been there instead of just the weekend that I did. Then he added a couple tips and a Christmas card with more money in it. I was blown away.



The end of January marks a couple of anniversaries for me. Six years of pet sitting and 15 years of blogging! Again, blown away. Should I keep going, another 15 years perhaps? I know I don't have 15 more years of pet sitting in me....but maybe blogging.

Live isn't always best

Image
A fairly new trend by some FB business pages is go 'live' with either a Q and A, news broadcast, or just to connect with fans. I've tried to watch a few but the video quality is poor. If a FB page has a regular TV show, I would just rather watch them there. I follow one of our news stations on FB and they started going live a few months ago. I don't know if it's the entire broadcast or just a small part of it. At first the notifications were annoying so I finally stopped them but twice a day along with their regular news updates, half of the screen is taken up by: KXLY is now live! I like the news team and watch them, but don't need it in stereo, and especially accompanied with a cheesy photo. It seems like news stations are in such competition that we've got it coming from all angles of social media. I would just rather watch the news on that good old fashioned thing called the Television.  Just give me the straight news without all the mu...

Still Her Advocate

Image
As a parent gets older, their children take on rolls to make things easier for them. Simple phone calls to complain about Mom's phone being down was so stressful to her, especially when it happens over and over. I would have to call her phone company several times a year and always had the same spiel, "No, I'm not going to unplug it and plug it back in, this is an ongoing problem and she uses a lifeline so she NEEDS her phone". Then they would send someone out on emergency status.  At her new home we'd have to step in to tell the owner and girls what Mom liked and how she liked things done. Yes she was particular but it would make their life so much easier if they did it her way. She had so many things taken away from her the day she moved in; just give her control over a few things. Just because she couldn't do everything for herself, she still wanted things done her way. Even after death I fought with her funeral home for an entire week.  She had a prepaid p...

Exploding Snails

Image
serves them right for eating something so gross in the first place These two idiots in California are suing the Seafood Peddler restaurant in San Rafael over an alleged incident of "exploding" escargot. Chadwick St.-OHarra and Steve Righetti were celebrating Righetti's birthday at the restaurant and they both ordered the escargot. As they dove into the little devils with their cocktail forks the snails squirt out hot garlic butter on both of their faces and polo shirts. St-OHarra cried that butter got into one of his tear ducts causing 'temporary vision impairment' and said he was genuinely outraged about the incident. Maybe he should have sued his mother for naming him Chadwick, a name like that is just asking for trouble. And have you ever been outside when a tiny little bug flies into your eye. It hurts like Hell, but you don't see me suing God do you? Like God should have warned me that little bugs can be hazardous to my eyes, causing 'tempora...
