Productive Day ...

Today I took care of some of the yearly medical exams. I got my eyes done this morning, after I had dropped off my suit at the cleaners, run to Michael’s to see if my framed piece of You’ll Have That by Wes Molebash artwork was ready. It was not, no they did not call, but it was beyond the date when they were supposed to be done with at and I was anxious. I was however able to get a frame for the original sketch that Wes drew for me, (see below). Then I had an eye exam. I think I am finally going to get the cataract taken care of. I have been hesitant to do this because it really freaks me out that my eye will have to be sliced open and I just have this insane fear that it will deflate like a balloon, I know that is not possible and that is why it is an insane fear. So I got the eye exam taken care of then headed to Taunton to drop off the cake topper (which came yesterday) to Arts International Bakery and pay the rest of the money for the chocolate mousse filling. I had gotten eye drops at the Eye Doctor so driving over there I had to stick my sunglasses over my regular glasses because my sunglasses are just some cheap, non prescription ones. Which Allison likes because then I won’t be able to see anything at the beaches in Aruba. 

After that I ran back to North Attleboro and swung by Achin’s Garage to get my inspection sticker. No I am not super efficient and got my sticker on the first day of the month but rather I took step one of my twelve year plan to save $29.00 by getting my sticker the first day of the month after my sticker was up. It is so deviously simple (wrings hands and laughs maniacally). I ran into Sarah who works there and who also went to Saint A’s. We got caught up and talked about being back on the hilltop (Another name for Saint A’s). I stopped by the house and dropped off the cookies I bought for dessert tonight and got another check from my checkbook (I used the last on as my co-pay for the Eye Exam.), ran across the street to pick up a program from the church so we could start work on ours, then stopped by Tower Square to have Allison’s Engagement ring sized. Next It was off to my annual Physical with my new doctor. The new practice has some great high tech stuff. They have tablet PC’s that each person brings around with them and then places them in docking stations in the exam rooms and they are all connected wirelessly. Dr. S. just got married two months ago, he’s pretty young, probably even younger than I am too. So that is good. I got a few things checked out and a couple of referrals I needed and wanted too. Very easy guy to talk to.

So I think my to do list is finally complete. A very productive day.

Oh wait, couple of more things, Grocery shopping and made reservations for us at the spa in Aruba. Now I think I’m done.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
