Monday began with a dog walk with my friends and their dogs. Then I came home to tidy up and clean the house before the arrival of Peter and Ally tomorrow. Plus, I wanted to call my ophthalmologist to get underway with my fixing my eye.
I called the clinic—thank God for the Telus IP Relay Service that makes my calls for me—they gave me an appointment for 3:00. And Ron called; he’s taking Sheba for a walk at 1:00 so that she could be comfortably left at home resting when I go to the clinic. I’m nervous about what’s ahead. More medical appointments, possibly an operation, and disruption. Plus, I likely won’t be able to do chopping or fitness for a few weeks if it is a detached retina.
I did yard work all morning, re-doing work I’d just recently completed—raking up and removing forest fall from the yard. A strong windstorm brought a lot more forest fall down late last week, and another large branch damaged and already damaged fence even more. I enjoyed doing the work because Pinecone Park is looking so good, and it was a beautiful warm and sunny day.
The evening brought welcome rest to my bones. I finished Baby Reindeer on Netflix—a most amazing story with magnificent acting. I very highly recommend it. It’s funny, it’s poignant and it’s frightening; I was thoroughly engrossed right from the start. The series began as a show in the Fringe Festival show. It was a surprise hit and moved to London’s West End where Richard Gadd, the author and lead performer, won an Olivier Award. Don’t miss this show!
I kept dozing off through the evening as I watched shows, so I went to bed early. I wanted to be in good shape for today when Ally and Peter arrive.

I'm going to cancel my appointments with the eye doctors because the problem has resolved itself. There are only little tiny shards of light now. I am no longer worried about my vision, and I don't want to waste the time of busy doctors. Instead, I'll wait and see how things go. If it gets bad again, I'll do something, but for now, life goes on as normal!

AndAnd hurrah!! Rain is coming tomorrow—well, maybe drizzles, but there’s rain predicted for several days. At some point, I hope there is real rain because the gardens are drying out far too early in the year. It’ll be back to living indoors for a while.
