ravena_kadeWednesday I had an Eye doc appointment. I was able to get one in a small place and booked it because the weather forecast on Sunday thought we would still have rain from the hurricane...we had 6 minutes of rain... on Tuesday...that is it.
Since I had to be in town I booked an early visit to the Aquarium. I was one of 2 guests in the place at 8 AM...no one else came in until 9. The place was as clean as it could be. All the volunteers were masked. The only not great thing was that the giant ocean tank and the Amazon river tank were still dark... They do that so the animals have a sense of night and day. I didn't really mind as I am a member and i know the place, but if I was a tourist guest with kids...I would not have been pleased. It should be noted when making reservations because if someone pays $100 to bring in their family, they may want to see the fish. The lights came back on at 8:45.
Sadly lots f the little places I would stop and grab a drink or a bite were closed due to COVID... and many will never open back up. Sad.
At 10 I had my eye appointment. It is a small office and only allows one patient in at a time. I went with them as they had an appointment available this week. Other places I could not get in until September...or early when I work, but because of the way things are at work I am no longer allowed to take a morning appointment without taking PTO and I can't take PTO because of vacations. =( The exam was nice. The people were friendly and funny. The Doc was smart and thorough and very very nice. My prescription changed in 1 eye. I knew something wasn't the same as I am having trouble with detail on my ceramics. Hopefully its just the eye and not my hand too. I hope this also helps with work. 10 hours at small spreadsheet print is killing me. The doc said I should get up and stop doing that type of work ever half hour to relieve the strain.
I did pick out new frames...2 sets. One I fell in love with. They are a tortoise shell but in blues. I think they really pop with the new brighter red hair and will look nice if I go more auburn for the winter. The other is a pair of half rims for when I paint (the rim gets in my sightline when I paint. That sad thing is that since it is a tiny place I won't get my glasses for a couple weeks. Bummer.
