I'm back...

My dear Blog public; how are you all? I missed you all, yes each and every one of you!
Including my two new followers that I forgot to welcome appropriately the last week or so!
Being a part of this Blog world I feel so obligated to keep in touch with you all daily, and when that is not possible I feel just terrible!
Upward and onward…shall we?
The day was fought with literarily and not too much so with spinning eyeballs and sleepiness.
I am not a napper so much so unless my health is at issue, and today again it appeared to be, and I remained exhausted most of the day.
Over-night I think my spasms in my body were wracked with negative musculature and pain as well, not to mention how my eyes reacted to the dilation of what the eye doc’s office had done, and perhaps the Baclofen had an affect on me being quite tired too?
I had two doses of the medication over night several hours apart as recommended.
Supposedly I was told to take the Baclofen three times daily of twenty milligrams but I had not been taking it as perhaps I should have?
And so today I began, after those wee hours of my sleep period during the night I again took it at ten A.M. and then once more at two and so that may be very well why I was so tired; that and the fact that the night time sleep had not been that refreshing I suspect, and currently I would have been due once more at six P.M. but I didn’t feel the necessity to, and so I did not take it; maybe at bedtime?

Yesterday, after visiting the eye doctor’s office and getting a more hopeful report of my eyes may very well improve and not all is lost. I do have the cataract also in my right eye besides the optic neuritis and so within six months or more I may also be having that one taken care of. Meanwhile, the ophthalmologist gave me a new eyeglass prescription for my glasses and within the end of month and beginning tomorrow once the bills are paid we will see if we have enough to take care of that too!
You know me bills first then extras.

Hubby receives his two checks within days of each other monthly, his pension, and social security like everyone else at our ages and we have direct deposit which is the safest?
Automatically, as a state employee he receives a COLA yearly on that pension but as most all know the Federal Social Security payments have not been receiving theirs, no cost of living increases for the last two or three, I’m not quite sure which?
Anyway, even with those two monthly income checks we are by no means wealthy but able to pay all our household bills without too much strain, except when we get an extra expense that we were not expecting. Although we do know how to manage and so far so good!
But me being me you all are aware of me going slightly berserk when we get any new not planned for expenses!

Any-who, those hurricanes seem to be monopolizing our news here although none are coming to us thankfully, but to our neighbors to the north of us up towards the mid-Atlantic coast-line, oh no! North Carolina as Hurricane Earl appears to be heading towards their coast.
Terrible with another holiday weekend coming to all our tourist destination beaches up and down the United States with more needing for economic appreciation of visitors, which seem to be again scared off by something out of our control!

On that challenge to our American vacationers to watch those news/weather reports and fear not, to commit to enjoy what we all love…a holiday at the beach!

Take care be well and don’t forget to enjoy daily what us coastal inhabitants take for granted.
Happy night to all and to all count those blessings and we will too!

PS: And thanks President Obama for ending the war on what would have been my half brother’s seventy-ninth birthday!Who was a victim of his serving his country in the Korean War in the Air Force as a medic and died just a few years ago in a VA hospital in NJ.
