Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, with more rain expected.
Ash, what sad news for you to deal with.
Yesterday's visit to the optician was very fruitful. My reading and distance prescriptions have changed again, my cataracts are growing slowly and the opthamologist has written to my GP about my painful eyes. A new drug, targeted specifically at patients with Sjogrens, has been developed and can now be prescribed by GPs. I will try anything that may help!
I picked a pair of purple frames and the other one is a tad blingy, all done in five minutes.
I did try on a sedate pair and DH said they were just not me!!!!?
However, the shop was heaving, too many people and apart from the staff, I was the only customer wearing a mask. The staff were telling me that they were concerned about the rise in Covid too. I felt quite anxious and stood in a corner out of the way. I have my 6th Covid jag and 'flu vaccination on Friday, so don't want anything to get in the way, if possible. I have too many hospital appointments coming up.
Afterwards, we had the most delicious Chinese lunch. It's years since I tasted one as enjoyable and DH enjoyed a good bit of mine too! The restaurant was empty, because we went early and we plonked ourselves in a corner out of the way.
It was a real tonic for me and a break from cooking!
I was very tired and breathless, when we got home, sat down in the conservatory with a cuppa and woke up two and a half hours later, covered in a throw. DH had decided I needed the sleep!
This morning, I have a hairdressing appointment, more of a social event, then over the docs to pick up a new prescription for my stomach problems.
I need to keep my hair manageable, as I'm back to
DS2 is coming to dinner and to watch the football. I've decided to make sweet and sour chicken. The chicken balls can be made in advance and are even tastier, reheated in the air fryer. I am working on making him miss his dear old mum's cooking! ?
Safe journey to all the travellers. So lovely to see you posting again, Kitty.
A special mention to Baubles on her first day back at work.
I echo what Oops says here, Mick. I hope you are wearing a mask, but really can't understand why you are jeopardising your appointments, by going on public transport, when the appointments are so important for resolving your health issues. Sorry to be so blunt, but we all care about you. It would be a shame if you picked up a virus, any virus at this late stage.
Have a good day, everyone. I will go back and read all the posts in the comfort of my bed.
