Lot’s O’ Stuff
Busy Day
Today was a busy day, I went into town with a friend, I needed to pay my internet bill, I went ahead and paid for 2 months so I don’t have to worry about it in a few weeks. I do wish my internet provider would accept on line payments, or even credit card or bank card payments over the phone, but they don’t, they only accept snail mail or carry in payments, and since they are a good 30+ miles (one way), it’s not likely I will be there in time each month to pay, and paying bills by mail is just a pain. Enough complaining. :)
Glasses & Hair Clippers
While I was in town, I purchased something I have been needing for some time, reading glasses. I noticed a couple of years ago, it was getting more and more difficult to read fine print, up until now, I have just been forcing myself to see what I needed to see, I would strain to read medicine bottles and such, well, now it’s just about impossible to read those things, I can’t force my eyes to focus enough to be able to see what I need to, so at the store, I tried on the different strengths, I think they only had 4 or 5, when I looked at the test print to decide which ones you need, I could read every line without glasses, so I looked around to find something with small enough print to test. I found the appropriate small print and tried on glasses. It turns out I only need the weakest one, WOO HOO, I’m not totally blind! (didn’t really think I was…). I picked out the frames I like and found a pair for Bob too, he is also having trouble reading fine print, we both have to use a magnifier to read most small things, I didn’t know which strength to choose, so I chose the weakest for him hoping it would be ok, I picked out the manliest looking frames, he looks pretty good in them! It turns out that he could have used a stronger pair, but for $5,00, it’s not worth going back, and they do some good for him.
I also got something else that will come in very handy, it’s something every mountain woman needs to tame her mountain man, a set of Wahl clippers, it includes an assortment of guards, a comb, scissors and oil. It’s been so long since he has had a haircut that I think I’ll have to make a name badge for him so everyone will know who he is, no one will recognize him! :)
Garden
I discovered something new about an ordinary plant that most people put in their garden, radish seed pods. I had a few left over radish seeds, not enough to plant very …
