Today I went back to the eye doc and found out....

That I did have a detachment but not of the retina a much less serious one that has no negative affects on your eye sight to speak of unless… what it says below the good stuff actually happens, but not to worry I was told…
A vitreous detachment.

And so you all knowing me you will also know that I NEVER EVER worry! LOL
I thought the information above was important enough to share with all of you so if any of that happens to you, you do know what to do, OK? Don’t thank me now but if later it helps you in anyway just let me know, OK?

Oh the day has been continuing in that exciting vein.
I again did wake up in time to enter the contest, but did not win since all five days worth of winners are announced on their site, and I did check.

After the eye doc we went to the warehouse club since we had been invited in there for a food tasting and so we went as members for us it was free.
We really thought it would be more in the sustenance department but alas it wasn’t any different than their usual samples of this and that.

And so we decided to grab a bite on the way home after we did buy our coffee, water and the like. But all the restaurants were full up? Odd since most all of our snowbirds have already left for the north and their other homes.
And so we went through the golden arches drive thru and I got a salad and Hubby got his burger and fries, and we ate peacefully at home.

This afternoon Hubby was kind enough to finish the shopping up at the grocery due to my exhaustion by the afternoon.
And when he got home he decided to go out to the lanai to read for a while’s break from his hectic day.
And he noticed our adjacent neighbor sitting under the Royal palm tree of our across the canal Canadian gone home to Montreal neighbors and she was taking pictures of something in the canal she told Hubby!
When asked what she said that she had been watching an alligator. Now we have been living on this saltwater canal for nearly twelve years and we have only seen maybe two or three gators actually come down it, and so this was an unusual and scary sight!
She was concerned for her dogs since she only has rip rap on her side of the canal, but we have a seawall and yet I still worry for little Skipper because he is fearless and nosey!
Hubby has taken a few picture of the vicious beast and I have sent its mug shot on to friends and family to see!
I do this quite often with other wildlife, which have been many living on the water as we do.
I used to think our otter who I called Otto was so cute and we had taken many pictures of him, until it made it on the news about a half an hour north of here in Venice that an elderly man was attacked viciously by being bitten several times by a rabid one!

It is a joy to watch the many different species of birds we see daily and so far they have been a joy; hopefully they will continue, but I don’t forget the herons that ate our pond fish, which was definitely NOT good!
Oh well, even in the animal kingdom there is good and bad too!

This morning while reading the paper, the editorial comments I got fired up again with the stupidity of someone thinking that people wanting health care reform are looking for freebies; well you can bet I wrote my own editorial submission countering his stupid comments and hopefully he will be set straight!

Now this disaster of the oil spill in the gulf is scaring the bejeebers out of us all here, and rightfully so, according to the professionals it could be much worse than the Exxon Valdez of yore up by Alaska, and we all can remember that horror!
Let us pray that is not the case since that will definitely be an environmental catastrophe unlike any we could ever imagine!

On that something to think about informative dissertation I will bid you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
