Just got news that I get to have my left eye cut up. Cataract surgery. I am NOT OK with this.

Depends on how they do it. My medical provider makes a cut which requires only one stitch. I know my turn is coming, and I'm not looking forward to it, either.

My aunt had this done earlier this year on one eye and was amazed.  She went and had the other one done.  Her only complaint is that she can see her wrinkles more clearly now.

She is not even wearing glasses except for readers occasionally for really fine print.

I hope this is the result I get. I know the odds of a really bad outcome are really small. The odds of winning the lottery are even smaller. There's a lottery winner every few weeks!

On the brighter side, I got up early this morning (nasty weather forecast for this afternoon) to get in an "easy" bike ride. The outbound trip wasn't bad, The return leg of the loop though...

Still, the destination was worth it:

Stearn's Lake. One of the many lakes/reservoirs that dot the area. This is not one I've been to before, but I will be again!

I'm making an effort to become as familiar with the local area as I was with the area I grew up in, so every day I bike (or walk if the conditions aren't amenable to biking) a different direction, with a different destination in mind. It's been fun, informational, and occasionally surprising so far.

Watching baseball. I just got back from the grocery store so I'm going to sit a while.

Waiting for the glue to dry.

Nothing. Making a jewelry box.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I think I'll stay up a little watching baseball. Let's misbehave.
