I do need glasses. Yes more than reading glasses. I asked and my vision is 20/30 in one eye and 20/40 in the other. Not too bad in my opinion but I am getting bifocals so that I can see the computer and read better without eye strain. I may even read a book sometime. I haven't read anything like a book lately because when I look up from the page it is blurry. So this should take care of that.
I still probably won't wear my new glasses unless I'm working at the computer or driving at night (which they are also suppose to be good for). I don't want to become 100% dependent on them by wearing them all the time. Besides I've heard that when you wear glasses your eyesight goes down hill even faster. I don't know if that is true not but I'd rather just wear them when I really need to!

TGIF
Well when it is all said and done it didn't really FEEL like a short week. Maybe because I just had a few stressful days of work. It is over now and the weekend is ahead. YIPPEE! Tomorrow I have a hair appointment. I may finally go get my eyes checked too. For the most part I think I still have good vision except I need reading glasses to look at the computer or to read. Actually I can't read a book for very long without it being a bit blurry when I look up. I'm not sure what that means, other than I may need glasses. LOL. So we'll see.
Still no word on that bathroom remodel. So it is time to get some estimates elsewhere. There's got to be some legit companies somewhere in this area that want to do our bathroom. I think I'll expand out the area to look too, after all the work has to be done here, so I don't mind calling downtown to get an estimate.
Got my walk in this evening but it was pretty humid. I need a shower. LOL. I'll just wash up before turning in.

Throwback Thursday
It is throwback Thursday. I thought I'd post a few old photos.
Not too much else to write about. We did have a great couple days of rain earlier in the week which helped the drought situation a little bit. I'm glad that tomorrow is Friday already. Yah!!

Results
Quick post...after all my complaining I DID get a call today from the dermatologist office. Turns out the doctor herself had to have an operation and was MIA for a bit making the entire office behind. So all is forgiven there.
The results are in. It is NOT melanoma. It is abnormal moles though and they graded them mild to moderate. What does that mean? That means if left totally alone they may come back and continue to change and evolve into cancer. So they want to do a punch biospy on both (taking a circular punch out of skin). This way the underlying skin and cells around the mole will be removed to keep a good margin of normal cells. That should do it. I don't mind as I'd rather be on the side of caution. It is a huge relief though and I no longer will jump when the phone rings. Procedure won't be until 7/2 but that is due to scheduling and they don't think it will harm me any to go another month (as I said these were not cancer). So I'm okay with that.

Miffed
Okay I am taking time from my lunch period to vent a little bit here. The only phone calls I've been getting lately are telemarketers or someone wanting to sell me a make believe extended warranty on my car. Yes those kind of calls. I re-added my phone # to the do not call website because I'm not sure how long that stays in effect. I know I've done this before but the calls seem to be coming in daily again, sometimes 3 or more times a day.
What I am getting miffed about is that we had an interior designer here exactly a week ago today to give us an estimate and plans for a bathroom remodel. When she was leaving she asked for the email address and I was already back to work so I didn't talk to her. Hubby wasn't sure which one to give her so she said she'd call for it. Well that has been exactly a week ago. She asked us for a time line and I said we are ready to do it now. But even having said that, its been a week and nothing? I am not calling her either. If she doesn't want our business enough to contact us back within a few days of the visit (to me a normal response time for an estimate), to heck with that. Will just research some other companies to come out.
What gets me even more miffed than that however, is that as of tomorrow it will be 2 weeks since my dermatologist appointment in which I came away frightened to death that I may have Melanoma. They told me it would be about a week to get the biopsy results and she assured me they'd let me know either way. I can only assume that the results were negative as it has now been like I said nearly 2 weeks! I shouldn't assume that it was nothing I know, but I'm going to wait until Friday and if they still haven't called me, I will call them. It just is so stressful to place that sort of fear in someone and then not let them know what the results are for nearly 2 weeks? Yes I know I can call! But my point is, I shouldn't have to. And just be honest with me! If it will take 2 weeks and not 1 say THAT instead of having my heart skip a beat every time the phone rings! These poor telemarketers are getting the wrath of my anger even more so than normal!

Memorial Day
As much as I tried to make this day go slowly, it is almost over. I did stop and think about all the men and women in the service now and in the past and thanked them publically (on Facebook) along with my father who served in WWII. I pray that they stay safe as well!
Dinner has been made, barbecued pork chops in the crock pot (it rained today) thin sliced baked potatoes done in the over in a cast iron skillet. Dishes are done and I just got back from taking Merlin on our 1.6 mile walk.
It isn't raining anymore and it is getting humid out (my sweat soaked bangs gave it away).
Had a short goodbye visit from my sister and her son who are headed back to Ohio tomorrow. It sure was nice seeing them and catching up on my sister's life. I haven't seen her in around 3 years.
My other sister played the perfect host for her and she stayed there since her son is afraid of our dogs and I was not about to keep all 5 dogs kenneled up 24/7.
So it is back to the grind tomorrow. Good thing is though that it will be Tuesday already. :-)
