Happy New Year!

Hey...a new year is upon us, and for those of us that still write the occasional check, here is a simple trick to make sure your checks are written out with the correct year on them! Tomorrow, get out your checkbook and write in the correct year on every check. Easy!

Be safe and Happy New Year!

Today...Glasses

I think I am beginning to know the age that the warranty on the body begins to run out, and it seems to be the age I have attained!
Today...I went for an eye exam, and not only do I need glasses, I need bifocals. Ouch! But, not really a surprise. The distance and up close vision has been fading, but I sure hated it when they asked if I could read any of the letters on the line, and I said..."Those are black dots, not letters." Sigh.
My husband said I will be amazed by the things I will be able to see. I imagine he expects me to start dusting again? Just kidding. There have been things that I know I have not been seeing, like ants. And the eyes of needles. It will be nice to get those things back, and reading fine print will be much easier!

Beginning the Serum Allergy Shots

Ok…got my first shots this afternoon. Yes, plural…one in each arm. Not too bad, slight allergic reaction of a few itchy bumps on my belly. Will have to mention that to them, as that is how I react to penicillin…though with that its everywhere and extremely itchy. All in all, not too bad. The shots were given shallowly in the fleshy parts of my upper arms. The first one I hardly felt, the second one pinched and burned a little. I wore a t-shirt under my sweatshirt so I could pull off the outer shirt and they could get to my upper arms much easier.

I will have to go every week to get the serum shots for quite a while, and they will slowly increase the amount of serum in the shots. Only time will tell if they will work to desensitize me to the various airborne allergens which affect me!
