Yesterday I had to get up earlier than usual because we had to have Bill at the Eye Center to be dilated and have pictures taken of his eyes and of course he needed a driver and of course it started sleeting which I hate to drive in, but we made it okay thank goodness the hospital isn’t that far away. He said the light really hurts his eyes when they are taking those photos and probably scared the other old people that were waiting their turn.
I told you about Bill’s Glaucoma and how high the pressure is in the one eye, now we have to wait till January to find out what we have to do next and if he has lost more vision. He’s very concerned that he wont be able to ride his Harley above anything else. Motorcycles and riding has always been his passion and has also started to become one of mine.
He then decided a couple hours later that we should go to the mall on the other end of town and that he was okay to drive so off we went. He has a Harley leather bomber jacket and swears that it has shrunk and we’ve been looking for another one a little bit larger, but he doesn’t want to pay 500 dollars for a new one. We were going to check Wilson’s leather at the mall, but they had closed down so we walked around for awhile.
He then decided that I should probably drive home and for him to let me drive told me that his eyes must really be bothering him. We decided to stop at Hoss’s for lunch when we were inside the mall and wouldn’t you know when we went outside the weather had turned even nastier. I hate driving in this type of weather, but I managed to get us back to our neck of the woods without mishap and lunch was great. He decided that he would drive us the rest of the way home.
We made a couple more stops and then headed home because they had a Winter advisory out and were closing schools early plus some other places were shutting down. The people around here drive like nuts so we didn’t want to get caught up in any fender benders. We were suppose to go watch Nate in his Christmas pageant at 7 o’clock, but they cancelled because of the advisory so we spent the evening watching movies together and talking.
We had a quality day together all things considered and I didn’t get anything done on the computer except to check out a few things and print out a very simple pineapple upside down cake recipe that he wants for his birthday on Sunday. I’ll be glad when the holidays are over so everything will get back to normal. All of the good energy that came my way must have helped because I’m not as depressed as before so thanks a lot.
