This past week, there was a theme in the lives of my family that was focused around vision, caring and helpfulness, as there was eye surgery, which gave us all a different lens for perceiving what was important.
We were all happily surprised when the neph got his act together and showed up to help the folks. (We were surprised mostly because he showed up on time, early actually, and without a wake-up prompt). He has been known not to show up in the past.
The surgery was scheduled for midday T, but we started to prep the weekend before, and, especially on Monday, some deep cleaning, so no dust would be flying around. Also some meal planning and then, later in the week (W? Th?) went to the grocery maxi-mart, spending 2 hours purchasing pretty much just groceries. Then the lens switched back to Parkinson's, and after a good deed punished, I found a screaming deal on mums at Lowe's (50% off) and got 6, plus some grab bars and supplies. Then today the lens was on enjoying the pretty day with a trip to the Gull Lake areafor some art, birds, and autumn produce per artsandeats.org I did however miss my little friend Adrian's birthday today though, but couldn't be helped
This next week my goal is catching up on some blogging, coding, arting, organizing, gardening, writing, and working out. There are only so many 'pleasant' days left in this year, in terms of warmer weather, so I will focus on making the most of that time.
