Tuesday, February 10, 2026 I had my eyes dilated two days in a row. The cataract surgery people called and had an appointment for me this afternoon. The doctor was really nice. She concurred I need surgery. Then we had a weird conversation about what would I like her to improve in my vision. Like? […]

Monday, February 9, 2026 I had my three-month post retina surgery appointment today. The report is that my retina is perfect, but the big blurry that is my vision in my left eye is because I need cataract surgery. Huh. I was told that retina surgery increases the chances of cataracts, but I assumed that

Sunday, February 8, 2026 The POTD is how Donna decorated in two seconds with two things she brought me. It is so pretty. I can’t decorate. Carla and I went to the Phipps to a story slam this afternoon while Keith played the last West Side Story. Neither Carla nor I had ever been to

Saturday, February 7, 2026 I am using the us-ie that Colby apparently took of he and Sophie for the picture of the day because it is so good. Good job, Fluffers. You are so cute. Donna and Nancy hit the road this morning after we watched some of the 2021 West Side Story (Keith and

Friday, February 6, 2026 I started Mounjaro today for my diabetes. I did not know it costs $1100/month. I was completely freaked out. Keith said my health was worth it. I am not sure. That is SO MUCH. I have a month’s worth to use, so I will do three more shots into my tummy.

Thursday, February 5, 2026 Donna, Nancy, and I spent the day visiting in the blue chairs. We could have done something, but I don’t know what that would have been. We went to dinner at Old Southern BBQ and Donna’s brisket on her salad was so fatty it was aaauuughgh. We went to see Keith

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 It’s my birthday! I am 63, born in 1963. It’s my golden year birthday! If that isn’t a thing, it is now. I did not realize it – the sisters told me. I went to teach algebra today and took many, many pounds of tootsie rolls and airheads to share a

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 I had book club today with my politically minded friends. I suggested to Keith yesterday that we get out our button maker and make buttons of the rebel loon for everyone. The we in that sentence is really just Keith. He has to find the art on the computer and figure

Monday, February 2, 2026 Happy Groundhog Day! We just finished watching the movie – it is the best. We had French Onion Soup with Alexander for dinner. I feel like we haven’t seen him forever. We eat early when he comes, because he is hungry. He and I had after-dinner naps. It was very nice.

Sunday, February 1, 2026 We have lots of season tickets, which are great because you can change dates when you need to. At the Phipps, you can also change shows if you need to. When we scheduled all of our travel for the next few months, we had to move quite a few dates to
