We had ours yesterday. It was a lovely break and since I have finished watching all the serious of Star Trek and Lucifer, I started watching The Originals.
I really liked Lucifer. It bummed me out when they decided to move it to Netflix. I don't have that and don't know if my TV accepts internet.

Hello everyone, I haven't been on TFO much the last 3 or 4 days. Just wanted to let you know. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow to have my IVC filter taken out. The blood clot in my left leg has dissipated and the clot in the right leg is still there. It is considered chronic which means it is old. It will wear away slowly but shouldn't breakoff completely at once. Out patient so I will be home tomorrow.
I need to catch up with what you all have been up to. Maybe Saturday.

Good luck with that Ray, hope it all goes smoothly and doesn't take up too much of your day.

Hello, CDR friends!

The eye surgery went great! It's just amazing that the dr could remove the old lens and replace it...and I have NO pain. My only struggle right now is cramming my glasses on over the patch and shield. Hard to get everything lined up to see with one eye.

They also have a new type of lens to put in that corrects astigmatism. It's good that only my right eye has it, because insurance doesn't pay for the new lens yet. So I had to pay for it [emoji45]. But the vision should be excellent once healed.

I'm sorry I made such a confusion with where my message was posted. For some reason my brain was addled and I posted in the wrong place, then couldn't move it.
@Yvonne G, thank you for putting it here...you did right!

Thank you everyone for the good wishes! I'll post tomorrow on how the eye sees when the patch and shield come off.

And in 3 weeks, the left eye gets done! [emoji2][emoji872]

So glad the results are positive!!! Congrats:)

Well!! All caught up now.
And it seems that summer is looming on your side whereas winter is looming on my side. At least I can enjoy summer advantages without the pain of the heat.
So glad it is Thursday today. We are supposed to be getting rain again today. My garden will be very happy.
Clark is doing much better, so I have stopped soaking him in the morning as well now. As I hate disturbing him when he is sleeping, which is normally the case when I leave in the morning. My acupuncturist has gone a retreat to meditate in silence for 10 days. Now that would never work for me, I cannot stay silent or have no noise for that long. I would go crazy.:D
So i tried making an appointment with my Osteopath who I have not seen since January. And he now only comes my way on Wednesdays. Yesterday and next Wednesday were and are public holidays. Sigh - Oh well I will have a break and see how well things go while they are all gone.

Amazing how the specialists disappear when you need them... but I will keep my fingers crossed that you don’t actually need them for the next two weeks! I’m so glad about Clark’s improvement .. surely when it rains, it pours !!!

Not quite....second para is a new topic/trip at the end of May....to a vanishing island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay....by highway, then ferry to this vanishing island.

But today, final packing up the truck for Emerald Island, North Carolina. I’ll let the morning traffic jams pass and leave in about 2.5 hours or so.

Good afternooning all.

I have been a little busy, but have managed to catch up.

Despite my wildlife friendly credentials, I need to go and annihilate wasp that’s got in the house.

* Heads off with rolled up newspaper *

No shame in that game!!!! Swat him an extra time for me!!!

Your tv probably does accept internet it would have to be an antique to not accept. You just have to have the right wire attached.if the tv is older and you have the original tv remote. There's a way.
