--- Quote from: Jeff Wrangler on July 11, 2025, 10:04:12 pm ---After my surgeries I got some drug store reading glasses, but then I asked my doctor for a prescription for progressive lenses, and I just wear the glasses all the time. I can drive without glasses. I have sunglasses that aren't prescription lenses; I wear them to drive. The drug store readers actually seem to be better for close work on my model trains than the prescription glasses.

Yes, that's exactly my situation except I don't wear sunglasses and I bought my progressive reading glasses online without a prescription. They're a little hard to find, though, and some sites want you to upload a prescription. So I may break down and get one. But most sites let you "try the glasses on" by using your computer camera to show your face with the glasses superimposed.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
So, we had an earthquake this night (08/02)!
I didn't even know it was an earthquake. Just as it happened, someone downstairs came home and slammed their door loudly, so I thought it was an angry tenant stomping into their place. Turns out it was a 3.0 quake, with the epicenter about 11 miles away from my town.
So, what else has been going on with me? I had my mid-year review, and everything went well. Met with my new primary care physician, I like her, and we had a good meeting. My tests came back good, and I have a follow-up with her schedule for December.
Speaking of doctors, I had a colonoscopy last week. I was waaaaaaaaaaay past due, as I'm 56 and never had one. I've always heard how horrible the prep is. It wasn't so bad. Yeah, not fun, but not as bad as others have said, so I guess I tolerated it well. Results were also good.
Work has been going along smoothly, but it turns out (I can't recall if I spoke about this here before) my office is being shut down. My position is not in danger, I'll just be 100% remote now. I've already had that option, but I enjoy seeing coworkers, so I was going into the office twice a week. THis does mean, however, that I need to work on getting paperwork sent out for shredding, or storage, and it has to be dealt with by the end of September, or October.
The heat waves we've had here in NJ have worked my nerves, and I am counting down the days to the Autumnal Equinox, 51 and counting!
I have a staycation planned for this month, and I'm thinking on getting the car serviced (regularly scheduled maintenance) and getting myself a new TV. The one I have is still working fine, but not a newer model so I can't use it to stream or anything like that, so I'm thinking of getting a newer one that will let me use some streaming services.
How is everyone else??

Wow, what excitement! I'm glad I don't live in a place that has angry tenants sometimes! Well, I do have a tenant that lives upstairs but he is quiet as a mouse.
How am I doing? Aside from healing from the detached retina in March, I'm doing quite well. I'm really benefiting from living with a lunar calendar as my guide. We've just had a new moon so I'm initiating new projects and making progress on ongoing ones. I'll talk more about it over in my blog.
I've started doing new exercises in the morning to build the muscles in my legs. I have to be able to get down on the floor and get up off the floor to play with my grandchildren. Yardwork and walking take care of the rest of the fitness challenge.
Sorry to hear about your office closing. This seems to be happening a lot. Denver downtown is turning into a ghost town.

I'm glad it was just a small earthquake, Chuck.
This is the devastating result of an earthquake not far from here some years ago :'(

Glad you came out OK from the earthquake, the colonoscopy and everything else, Chuck. And I'm sorry that you'll have to work remotely because you seem very social but I'm sure you'll find other ways to get together with people.
