We finally got the driveway and patio concrete sealed. It feels good to have that done and know we can now better weather the winter. The storms held off just long enough for the crew to get the work done - yay!
Had our annual eye exams the other day. My one cataract has grown substantially. It's almost at the point where I'll have to have it removed. And I'm nervous. My vision is one sense that I truly cherish. But the cataract interferes with my vision enough that it is a bit of a constant frustration. So when it's time, I'll be ready. The floaters are also annoying and they might be bad enough to have fixed when the cataract is removed, but I'm postponing that decision until I absolutely have to. This aging process is not only frustrating, it's discouraging. I'm not ready to be old.
And today was my last day for triple duty at church. Another reason to be grateful for the beginning of November. Next week is Stake Conference and though the weekend will be overfilled with meetings, at least I'll have a bit of a break from my anxiety-filled Sunday School class.
I'm grateful for the storm coming through, we've had lovely weather, but I really enjoy a (mild) storm once in a while. I'm grateful for getting projects done around here. For extended family who sacrifice their time and comfort to help us with the yard work - my heart still warms when I think of how much that helped us. I'm grateful for healing of blisters on the bottom of my toe so that I'll be able to walk in the morning. And for the safe return of The Husband - he is my whole life! I'm grateful for friends to do dinner and movie with that make the time enjoyable. And I'm grateful for loyalty.
