I sat down to type last Saturday but when I reread what I wrote, it came through to me as wah, wah, wah, whining. So it's still in the draft. Let's see if I can relate what's been happening without the whine. The past ten days I've been in and out of the dentist chair trying to get this temporary partial to fit better. Eating is challenging but I'm coming up with lots of ways to make the soupy food tasty and keep the nutrition. Most of the mouth sores are healed. At the beginning of May I had my yearly eye exam. Last year I purchased vision insurance at a reasonable price through AARP so I updated my old glasses with a new frame and Rx and ordered single lens piano glasses. Last time Mark visited here he measured my sight distance from the bench to the sheet music. Two weeks after the exam both pairs of glasses were ready but the order got mixed up and the piano frames had the new Rx and new frames had the piano lenses. They were sent back and ten days ago the office called to come in and get them. This time the piano glasses had the lenses that darken when you're outside and the other pair had no special tinting. So the glasses were returned again. I think this week I should be getting another call that my glasses are ready. Last Friday I made a trip to my doctor because my right shoulder was so painful even after days Epsom bath soaks, warm compresses, and resting. I caused it, of course, with digging and transplanting too many flowers without taking a break The soil was so wet after days and days of rain, I figured it was the best time to get the plants in. Nothing hurt when I was digging. I haven't had to get any injections in over five years so I felt good about that. I'm trying to pace myself and let some things go. The other day I weed whacked for about twenty minutes then quit and put it away. It's challenging to see all the tasks that need to be done and to handle projects and emotions without sharing them with your spouse.
Weather is better. No rain all week until this weekend. This is a nice break. Morning temps are still crispy. This morning was 52 degrees when I got up and high 70's by afternoon. I'm looking forward to the Blairsville farmers market opening this Saturday.
