In response to Anonymous, and so much more...

First of all I would love to say how flattered I was to find out that someone finally made a comment on my Blog! That I am NOT talking to myself afterall…relief! (Actually I have had others but it was usually from family.)

I suppose I should write some more controversial animal remarks, but little did I know that learning the name of a certain behavior would actually catch someone’s attention and be debatable, and silly me I was so thrilled to be able to do that!
Below is the email that I received bright and early this morning:

“Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Bichon Buzz and did you see the one about...":
This running like a crazy man actually does have a name. It has for many years known as the Bichon blitz.
Have fun with your guy.”

After careful research I found that both names were correct!
RE: Copy and Paste
Any of the below sites!

And no I don’t have to be ALWAYS right, just when it is right; why not express that? And in this case it is just a compromise anyway, because we are both correct.

Please peeps I hope that I receive bunches of comments I think this is great!

Now on to other things…
Yesterday, sorry lately I seem to be always a day behind with this, must be because of surgery day, any-who yesterday was my follow-up surgery appointment at 10 A.M. fortunately it was at their local office only maybe fifteen minutes away from home, to our north.
Well, again we were on time and this time it was vaguely frighteningly familiar entering the office waiting room where over twenty or more seats were filled with warm bodies and practically standing room only, but somehow when you enter with a walker bodies move, even the elderly in better shape than me do! But that is beginning to sound redundant since everyone there was older than me! I went to the desk first to sign in and shyly asked if my doctor was on schedule, and I was assured he was since two doctors were there!
For that mob scene went through my mind but I swear I didn’t say it out loud at least I don’t think so, Hubby was still parking the car he had dropped me off at the front door after getting out to open it for me. Gee, you would think that these medical offices would have automatic ones, doors that is; where’s the true use of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act, which guarantees easy access to most buildings) when you need it? Not even a push lever.

But me being me I once again tried for the impossible, two seats together for Hubby and me to be at least within shouting distance, although he prefers I don’t do that, no fun sometimes! LOL, I tell you my filter is gone and fear of saying things is all gone now!

In reality the wait wasn’t as long as I would have thought if I tucked my head in and took off in lacking patience to wait mode. Maybe it was a half hour or so.
Once brought into the back an eye tech examined me, and said that I will be using topical drops, three different ones that all were for different reasons, and had to be put in 3 to 4 times a day, and she also gave me a chart to keep track! Now with all those ingested pills, of a seven count on them; I had more to keep track of, wow! This could be very confusing, but it was literally plotted out in black and white on the paper print out she gave me. And let’s not forget my normal dry eye drops for dear old righty!

I am proud to say that so far so good, and these new topical eye drops are only temporary, thankfully! I have another follow-up appointment next Friday.
The young woman tech did such a great job, she did examine the eye and everything I thought I was free to go, but no, doc was going to check my eye too, how thorough of them! PS the one antibiotic eye drop was going to be a paid for at the pharmacy one, but they were nice enough to give me a sample, see if you don’t ask, you don’t get, and I did ask.

Speaking of that asking business …Monday, I called our mortgage company and we are also receiving our escrow overage payment back too, nearly four hundred bucks! And our payment went down forty-one cents, I know, big deal! But every little bit counts and helps, we do have other bills. And today I called the cell phone company and asked them to remove the texting and email features since we don’t use them and we were recently getting charged for unsolicited incoming ones! And they did take them off and took five bucks off of our bill too! How about that folks?

But then we did try to spend some today; that is donate it to the Red Cross (redcross.org) for the victims of the Haiti Earthquake, and the computer screwed up after I gave it all my information, and so I tried again by land line, 1-800- REDCROSS, and the lines were so busy I never got through, but I will try again tomorrow, maybe you will too? Couldn’t hurt and I am very sure ten bucks or more could really help!

Lastly, we had our windows open today…finally it was joyously in the mid seventies, with very low humidity! How glorious was that? And from tomorrow on we will be getting more of the same, but some days a few showers here and there, but we will take that!

Good night to all and to all take care, be well, and count those blessings and we will too!
