Cataract surgery went well, still blind.
Yes, surgery did go well, but like with all things there is a waiting period.
I can't wear my glasses on the eye not done yet, so I am basically blind in that eye. The right eye that had the cataracts removed is still recovering. SO, everything is still a big blur. But I am on the road. AND I have the best friend in the world. She has put her life on hold while she takes car of me.

Carry On Tuesday #10 - July 21, 2009
Topic for this week:
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life...
If I am not the hero of my own life, who will be?
A hero is supposed to be someone we look up to, someone who does things that set an example.
It would not be most movie stars, or music stars, or sports stars.
It could be a fireman/woman,or a police officer (maybe),or a clergyman.
But because everyone is fallible, everyone is likely to fall off the hero pedestal.
So I think I will be the hero of my own life. I already have fallen from the pedestal. I already know my faults. I can be my own hero.

Sunday Scribblings - #172 - The Plan
This week for Sunday Scribblings the topic is: THE PLAN
Yes, I planned to have a garden. I had railroad ties brought in to make a raised bed. My husband figured out how much dirt I would need brought in. I plotted it out. I was going to use the "Square Foot Gardening" method. I tied up the string to mark off my plots. I ordered from the garden catalogs, I shopped the gardening centers. I got everything planted. The garden looked great.
Then the weeds came, and they came. I have never seen so many weeds in my life. I spent hours everyday pulling those darn things. They never stopped coming in. My vegetables started coming in at the same time. I think I pulled baby vegetables thinking they were weeds. What did I know? I only had a plan.
The garden didn't so well that year. I didn't know when to take the brussel sprouts off the plant, they turned to seed. I didn't know when the broccoli was ready, it turned to seed. Some sort of something got to my tomato plants. The corn never did come up.
I was so discouraged. I decided to grow flowers the following year. Weeds came in that garden too. Sure, I had flowers all season long. I had chosen wisely. I had plants that bloomed at different times. I learned how to dead head. I weeded and weeded and weeded.
I don't garden any more. My garden space is now mowed down. Sometimes we sit there and look at our woods.
I learned from my gardening experiences a couple of things about myself. I don't like weeds. I don't like planning a garden. I don't like weeds. I don't like to get my fingernails dirty. I don't like weeds.
My plan now is to not garden. My plan now is to have plants that only grow one season, and to have them in pots.

I wish I understood written instructions.
If I did then I could add Cate's link to this, and I could add a link to a current post from a past post or something like that.
