Well after visiting the eye doctor today, and if I didn’t have enough on my plate, I found out that I have cataracts! So I decided I needed to treat myself to something new. Trader Joe's it is.
I was there with my dilated eyes for a good two hours. I perused every isle, every corner, and every other shopper's cart, because I didn't want to miss a thing. It was like an E ticket at Disneyland, most of you youngsters don't even know what that is! I guess you have to be old enough to have cataracts!
Anyway back to my adventure. I only brought three bags, because I wasn't expecting to buy much, I wasn't expecting to be able to see much, dilated eyes and all, but I saw a lot.
Produce, oh my! Jack is in berry heaven now! I'm not gonna tell you every thing I got, but I picked up some stuff for dinner and the very best part.....
I bought not one, but two bunches of fresh flowers for ME!
As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I was waiting to turn left, just as the traffic cleared a car approached from the opposite parking lot with its left blinker on. I knew I had the right of way, but to be cautious (dilated eyes and all) I hesitated I second to make sure he was yielding, which he did. Right then the car behind me sounds his horn. This kind of thing really rattles me. Right after the horn a siren went off. The car opposite me was a cop. I thought oh no I'm getting pulled over! But nope, he went for the horn blower!
That was the best way to end my Trader Joe's experience!
You may notice I'm a bit more chipper. I haven't gotten my new meds yet, waiting for pharmacy, but knowing there is a reason for the way I've been feeling is helping. Also just getting out today, half blinded as I was, doing something different, buying myself flowers, just felt good.
I also bagged up three more bags of clothes to donate. It is hard to let go some of my favorite clothes.
I also made this cap for my grandson last night and have gotten requests for more shoes, mittens and hats.
These are the shoes I made him.
Crocheting relaxes me, and interacting with my daughter means the world to me!
