Isn't the internet a wonderful thing. Here's a clip of my son's ship leaving Norfolk, VA on it's way to it's ultimate destination: Japan.

Another Life Lesson
...and one that should be fairly obvious: DON'T POKE YOURSELF IN THE EYE! Early Friday morning, in bed, I was turning from back to stomach, and POKE!! My right thumbnail right in my left eye. OMG, pain, tearing, sensitivity to light - what the hell did I do to myself. Well, I found out. I went that morning to my eye doctor, I tore my cornea. Right now I'm wearing a plain soft contact lens as a patch, yesterday I took the Lortabs prescribed to me and slept most of the day. I feel alot better today. Needless to say, I didn't go to work yesterday, and luckily, have the actual weekend off.
So, as I said, DON'T POKE YOURSELF IN THE EYE!
In other news, I'm still poor and happy. I just learned from my son that his ship (the USS George Washington CV73) has just left Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on it's ultimate destination of Japan. Next up is Chile, I think. If you Google "USS George Washington leaves Norfolk, VA" you should find 2 local tv news reports showing it leaving (my son was supposed to be one of those in dress uniforms lining the deck - he was not happy). One I saw fine, the other I couldn't for some reason. He said he took lots of pictures, but doesn't know how to download them to email. Ha! Like mother, like son.
Ta for now, remember, don't poke yourself in the eye.

Hooray! I'm Poor
Ok, I know it's been a while. I just don't get online as often as I'd like. Anyway, the hubby and I are officially low-income! Enough to be on the program that picks up the lions share of the prescriptions! Not enough, naturally, to get food stamps. Of course, I don't know why we were kicked out of it last year. Do you have to do that every year?
Of course that begs the question, what if you're NOT low income enough? How can you possibly pay what we did for the Hubby's prescriptions, and all your other bills, too? I will never, as long as I live, forget that $655.21. For one prescription.
And, and, and now the Hubby has a power chair and we can go places and do things!!
Arthritis be damned!
