My eye is fine!

Saw the eye doc today and the only problem with my right eye currently is extremely dry eye!
Same problem for years with both.
Resolve: a more moist contact lens that will be in next week!
Drops are several times a day, nothing different there.

That prescription stuff that one doctor prescribed for me, ages ago and at that time is wasn't covered by my insurance and the price was $300, and so I took a half amount; the pharmacy even understood  my surprise at the sticker price!
I found it to be no different than the OTC, over the counter,  and so I went back to my/our bevy of choices there and never looked back.

One doctor, years ago, about nineteen, offered to seal, some type of cauterizing, my tear ducts and when I went to have that done I changed my mind as he came at me with the equipment for that!
Adorable doc, I recommended that he should do his own commercials and he does now and for some reason he switched to plastic surgery, hope it wasn't due to me...kidding!

Next, a few years ago I had the "permanent" plugs put in, well after about a week I was still using my drops and so I called and asked wasn't that supposed to make it so I didn't need them?
Not always, and so I felt bad,  and thought that permanent meant just that, forever, but I was wrong again and they offered to remove them and so they did!

Such is the life with dry eyes, a very common ailment, Hubby too was dx'd with it and most recently number one son, but fortunately theirs is not as severe as mine.
The way I seem to tackle the issue by keeping dry eye drops in my purse and in my bathroom and so they are always with me.

I found my three Capri style slacks in black, khaki and the navy was in jean fabric at Wally  World, we did try Target first, but no luck there.

And today we ate lunch at Applebees and they do have a healthy menu and so I had basil tomato soup and Thai shrimp salad with my unsweet iced tea with extra lemons and Hubby had the same tomato basil soup with a chicken, avocado, lettuce and tomato and bacon with cheese grilled sandwich and black coffee with sugar.

Last stop for me was Hubby running into Beall's Outlet to return those slacks that were the wrong size.

On that note of all missions accomplished allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, you hear?

Save the world; hear that!
