There’s a chill in the air.\u00a0\u00a0 Hubby has a fire in the fireplace, making it cozy in the house. We’re in San Antonio taking care of a few errands.\u00a0 I got the truck serviced in preparation for a trip to Wisconsin in February.\u00a0 I got a much needed hair cut and my new lenses for my glasses.<\/p>\n
Progressive lenses are much better for handling the in between distances, and I was screwing up by now using them as my primary glasses for the last couple of years.\u00a0 I was using my “good” glasses in my iPad case for on the go use.\u00a0 I used bi-focals and my over the counter readers most of the time.\u00a0 Big mistake.\u00a0 Since seeing my eye care professional in December and hearing her response to my complaint, I recognized and corrected my error.\u00a0 My vision has been much more satisfying, and I’ve had fewer headaches.\u00a0 With this new reader prescription and Progressive lenses, I’m very satisfied with my vision quality at all distances — Reader, computer, across the room, and across the street.\u00a0 Amazing.<\/p>\n
Has anyone else notices that their hair changes as they age? Yes.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Of course it gets grayer, and I expect some aspects of it will change, but one half of my head is a little curlier.\u00a0 The overall consistency of the hair feels more straw-like.\u00a0 I’m trying to figure out what nutrients might be missing to account for that.\u00a0 Any ideas?<\/p>\n
Lastly, our chicken kitten, Tarzan, has finally seen fit to venture into the back yard on his own.\u00a0 He’s still very hesitant, but if we leave the back door open long enough, he’ll venture onto the threshold.\u00a0 He’s made it as far as the edge of the bricks on the patio (very cautiously).\u00a0 If we were going to be here long enough, he might make it onto the dirt.\u00a0 Given the weather we expect today and tomorrow, I suspect that will come on a subsequent trip.\u00a0 That’s a big difference from us putting him on the porch and having him run back to the door and plaster himself onto the back door trying to figure out how to get back in the house.\u00a0 That’s pathetic but amusing in a way that’s not painful for humans but understandably of concern to a scared kitty.\u00a0 We’re happy he’s choosing to venture into the vast wilderness of our fenced backyard.<\/p>\n
In other news, Tarzan’s much more adventurous sister, Lady, found her way out of the back yard and was nosing the driveway gate looking for a way back inside.\u00a0 I suspect, since she’s discovered the joys of leaping onto trees, that she may have climbed the fence (we can’t see any way even a cat could slip under it).\u00a0 She was more than happy to come in when I opened the gate and called her.\u00a0 Lady would be an outside cat if we let her.\u00a0 She loves it that much.\u00a0 This, of course, sparked Natasha’s interest in escaping the driveway gate, so we decided it was time for the kitties to come indoors.\u00a0 When the back yard no longer holds enough stimulation to keep them interested, they’ve been outside too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
