Friday Five

TGIF! Time to share five random things about our week. Here’s mine:

August is here with 100+ degree heat. It’s too hot to function. But at least we have A/C. Wizard and I are stressed and tired, but dealing with things we need to deal with.Maggie had her yearly checkup and is in really good health (as much as they can tell). The vet tells me every time that she loves Maggie because she’s so joyful. It’s true that Maggie doesn’t really have a lot of special tricks or play with toys, but her one talent is being happy to see almost everyone. First she wags her tell, then her whole body wiggles and when the happiness overwhelms her, she squeals and “talks”. So I’ll take the vet at her word Maggie is getting older, obviously, and the milkiness I see in her eyes is real and from age and hardening of the lenses. Maggie is still seeing pretty well though. Otherwise, she needs a mild teeth clearing that they think they can do without anesthesia. I’m really happy to get goods news with no surprises about Maggie this week.I also had a good eye exam and this time, I bought glasses too. OUCH on the cost! It doesn’t help that my prescription is so high (which I heard four different times), we added on had all kinds of options to get the lenses in the frames as light as possible, and as comfortable as possible. But I like the glasses we chose, and I can still wear contacts (with reading glasses), so I have options. My eyes appear healthy and the exam was easy. Overall, I call it a win, even if it’s an expensive win.Oh my CT scan approved for my sinuses to hopefully find out where/why my nose is bleeding. I think it’s August 20th or thereabouts. I’m too lazy to check my calendar to be sure, but I’m happy about that. Even if we can’t find the source on the CT, we’ll know what it’s NOT from and that’s helpful too. My GP will decide where to refer me once he has the CT results. So things are moving along. I might be going to lunch with Biker Witch today but we haven’t officially confirmed that as I write this. Chaos is running amok, so it’s hard to make real plans. This weekend is a wait and see what happens. We are doing our best to go with things the best we can.

That’s my five, now I’d really love to hear yours! I hope you all have a good weekend, and if you’re in the heat, stay inside, hydrated and cool!
