today started not too good. i had an eye appointment so had to go out today, took my wife to the store first and then to get fish for the aquarium. it was almost 90 f out so not pleasant in a car with no a.c. , one of our 15 year old chihauhas is smort. he goes in back and lays under Barbara our almost life size teddy to keep cool. also when it's hot my wife fills the dish with ice. the other one is stupid and stays out front where it's very hot. i had to spray her down to keep her cool so it wasn't too bad for her.

we scheduled my wife and i at the same time to make t easier. well they gave me my appointment and because we didn't realize her time was different we were 10 minuets late so they wouldn't see her and she had to reschedule. they have a way to check my eyes without drops so that made me happy.

the receptionist said i might be able to get my glasses there through medicare, i had heard about an eyeglasses allowance. well the receptionist checked and there was no allowance for my insurance, another woman checked to be sure and said no it wasn't available. i was in my car just getting ready to leave when one of the guys that handles selling glasses came out. he sad the 2 women were wrong and i did qualify for up to $300 dollars for an eyeware allowance. we had to be careful because i have bifocals. i looked at a bunch of frames and picked a decent pair of frames nothing serious and thinner lenses it came up to $270. when we were done i mentioned i always wanted transition glasses that darken when we go outside. he looked and we haggled but we got it for # 350 so i only have to pay $ 50 when they come in in about two weeks. my pain was around what i call a 10+ which is the worst pain i ever feel. it took around 4 hours to come down, i'm a 6 now. i should have known to take pain meds before i left due to the heat. well at least i'm doing great now and the pressure is off about how much i have to pay for glasses lol.
Glad you got glasses sorted, the transition ones sound cool! Also glad your pain levels dropped ❤️❤️❤️

My brother is back in hospital. His surgery was a week and a half ago but he's still in a lot of pain and they think something is wrong. They're pumping him full of antibiotics and doing a CAT scan. :(

I'm quite upset. I'm not sure what I would do if my brother dies.
i'm very sorry @Lady Wolfshead i hope they can find the problem soon and he can make a full recovery

I feel that panic pain of being abandoned. No one to call for support. I understand that people are uncomfortable with depression and anxiety. It Is a helpless depressing feeling for them. Even in good times I am alone. I know I brought this on myself. But I also wonder did I really? People leave people who are devoted to them. People die. Who is to say it would have been any differently. I did try to make a network. But too late. I am not a bad person. I am actually nice. Been told that many times. But was very guarded when young. Afraid if getting hurt. Everyone is old now. No one networks now. They are all suspicious of new people. I understand why. It is challenging.
I'm sorry..I feel alone too..no one respects me..bcos I don't have a job and I'm sort of disabled,not being able to work..but it's okay..Jesus knows and loves me..I hope you can find some comfort amid this loneliness....HUGS🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

I'm having one of my horrible turns where I feel very shaky and light headed. I've eaten something and have tried to calm down, and am now in cool air conditioned room with a cup of tea. They always seem to be triggered by some kind of stress and it's like my body overreacts to the squirt of adrenaline. Not sure what it is really, except they do go off after a while. Just fed up of always doing my bit when others fail to do theirs. I've been sitting around no idea if I could have gone back home as my 6.30 hasn't replied to say if they're coming and the person who cancelled the earlier meeting hasn't filed the paperwork like they promised so I could action some of the work in any case.

Still on pending with the other work I applied for - it would have been a lot more remote and computer based which would have cut out bus rides and dealing with all the cancellations and uncertainties, but it looks like I did really flunk it, been over a week now. 😥

i want them because i have always wanted to try them. i am hoping it will remove having to have sunglasses. it only cost me an extra $50. but they made me aware they may take a few minutes to adjust when going inside.
